014. Controlled Hardship: The Key to Raising Strong Men & Capable Leaders w/ Ali Awad
Many of us are raised to avoid hardship—but what if leaning into it is the key to success? In this powerful conversation, Ali Jamal Awad explains how controlled adversity, disciplined parenting, and financial intelligence create stronger men, better leaders, and more resilient families.
Ali reflects on his childhood, growing up as one of six siblings in a family where competition, responsibility, and faith played a central role in personal development. He shares why today’s youth are struggling with motivation, why the father figure is more important than ever, and how modern parenting is failing boys by removing necessary rites of passage.
