Episode 69 - Every man faces a defining moment. The question is—will you step up? with Daron Franklin

In Episode 69 of the Men Pursuing More Podcast, host Roger Maupin sits down with Daron Franklin—known to many as Coach Frank—founder of F42 Empowerment and creator of the Beyond the Edge framework. From growing up in New Orleans to becoming a college football scholar-athlete, teacher, and coach, Coach Frank’s journey has been shaped by resilience through life’s toughest moments. In this powerful conversation, he opens up about the life interruptions that forced him to rebuild—Hurricane Katrina, a cancer diagnosis at age 28, and the personal reset that came after a 16-year marriage ended in divorce. Through it all, he discovered a calling to help young men build confidence, consistency, and purpose. Coach Frank shares the mindset shifts behind his Participant–Contributor–Lifer framework and how men can move beyond fear, increase their life capacity, and design winning plays for life. If you’ve ever felt stuck, knocked down, or uncertain about your next step, this episode will challenge you to elevate, step forward, and go beyond the edge.
