015 Why Honesty Is Important: Grandpa Wisdom on Integrity & Being Grateful & Thankful with Jack Peck


Listen Later

Why honesty is important is a question that echoes through families, schools, and communities — and in this episode of The Grandpa Channel, Jack Peck offers heartfelt answers drawn from decades as a coach, father, and grandfather of 20.

For Jack, honesty was more than a nice idea — it was the foundation of trust. He learned from his own father that integrity and morals were not negotiable, and he carried that lesson onto the football field and into his home. Whether coaching young men to believe in themselves or teaching grandkids to say “thank you,” Jack showed what integrity means in everyday life.

This conversation is warm, funny, and deeply practical. Jack recalls the teasing and humor that bonded his family, the importance of being present at games and graduations, and the discipline that helped shape his children and players alike. Through it all, he returns to two timeless lessons: always tell the truth, and always be grateful and thankful.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • 🏈 Why honesty is important in raising confident, trustworthy kids.

  • 🙏 How gratitude and integrity work hand in hand to shape family legacy.

  • ❤️ Real stories about being grateful and thankful for small moments that matter.

  • ✨ What integrity means when lived out daily — not preached, but modeled.

    This is grandparent wisdom at its finest — simple truths, wrapped in love, humor, and lived experience.

    Pull up a chair and listen in. You may just be inspired to laugh a little more, thank a little louder, and live with honesty at the center of it all.

    🎧 Tune in today, and don’t forget to share this episode with someone you’re grateful and thankful for.
