Today we’re talking about dependence, independence, debt, parenting, hard work, and why struggle is actually necessary for growth.

I talk about:

• Why depending on people can hold you back
• The difference between needing help and relying on others
• Why hardship teaches lessons success never can
• Parents protecting their kids too much
• Paying off debt the hard way
• Why accomplishment feels better when you earn it yourself
• Growing up hands-on with trades and construction
• Why fewer people know how to build or fix things now
• Why the trades are becoming more valuable every year
• Why I think skilled labor is the future

This episode dives into responsibility, work ethic, parenting, personal growth, and why real confidence comes from solving problems yourself.
