What We Do Man On Fire is a 6 month total transformation program for men. My Story I’m Chris Rodack, founder of Rising Father.  I wasn’t always the leader of a men’s movement. I didn’t always coach fathers how to restart their lives, get ripped and lead their families.  Not too long ago I was teaching middle school band, overweight, living far below my purpose, and just “surviving”.  I told myself I was trying to be the best father and husband I could be, but that was a lie. Because words mean nothing. The ONLY way I can lead is through my actions, through my life. It’s by others watching me live. What I do, not what I say. I had to change ME first.

I was moody, always stressed, snapped, unconfident, and didn’t show my family joy.  What I didn’t realize is as a father they take on everything I give them. I have the power to light up the room or tear it down with my energy. If I didn’t make a change soon I’d b
