In this episode I speak with teen and parent coach Ben Pugh about his own personal growth journey that began in his teen years and eventually  led to him wanting to be a coach. He talks about how he was able to transform his life despite how little support he got from the adults around him and how he wants to educate parents not to give up on their kids. We also discuss the Brain BS (unconscious and subconscious programming) that impacts how parents parent and how problematic it is when they are not aware it is there. This is not only  an informative conversation, it's a fun one that can benefit all the parents out there who think their kid is the problem.  Think again!
