Building Better Dads, Raising Better Kids | Kevin Barnett

What do kids really need from their dads?

Being a father is one of the most important jobs a man will ever have. But in a world filled with distractions, career demands, social media, and changing expectations, are dads really showing up the way their children need them to?

Frost Murphy sits down with Kevin Barnett, founder of Houston-based CoolxDad, for a powerful conversation about fatherhood, family, raising confident children, masculinity, and what it means to be truly present.

They explore the challenges modern fathers face, the importance of positive male role models, the difference between providing for your children and connecting with them, and how stronger fathers can help build stronger communities.

Kevin also shares the mission behind CoolxDad and the movement he’s building to bring fathers together across Houston and Baytown.

At Elite MMA, we believe in Building Better Humans. That starts at home.
