The ‘Quiet Quit’ is Destroying Your Family | FRIDAY FIELD NOTES

Most men think they’d never “quiet quit.”

Not at work. Not in their careers.

But at home?

That’s a different story.

In this episode, Ryan Michler breaks down what it really means to “quiet quit” your family — being physically present but mentally and emotionally checked out. He explains why this is one of the most dangerous and overlooked problems facing men today, how it happens, and what you can do to fix it before it costs you your marriage and your relationship with your kids.

If you’ve ever found yourself distracted, disengaged, or just going through the motions at home, this episode is a wake-up call.

In This Episode:

• Why “quiet quitting” doesn’t just happen at work
• The difference between being present and being engaged
• The hidden dangers of emotional absence
• Why men drift toward work, fitness, and measurable success
• How lack of feedback at home creates disconnection
