Episode 3141:

Craig Stephens reflects on the transformative power of parenthood, showing how it can awaken a deeper sense of purpose and drive to improve upon the life paths laid by previous generations. By redefining what a "better life" truly means, beyond wealth or early retirement, he encourages us to live with intention, model lasting values for our children, and pursue personal growth over generational comparison.

Quotes to ponder:

"To honor their sacrifices, we’re compelled to pursue the life our parents dreamed for us."

"Living a meaningful life is about personal progress, happiness, and having a positive impact on your community and the people you meet."

"Strive to be the person you want your child to become, teach by example and never stop improving upon the person you were yesterday."
