This episode dives into the uncomfortable truth about modern parenting: too many of us are opting out of our children’s worlds simply because they don’t entertain us. Angelo unpacks two real conversations—one with his wife, and another with a fellow parent—that reveal how easy it is to dismiss our kids’ passions when they don’t align with our own.

 

Through the lens of Stoicism, Jiu Jitsu, and cognitive behavioral truth, this episode challenges the listener to face their own avoidance patterns and to step into discomfort—not for the sake of interest, but for the sake of connection.

 

If you’re serious about becoming the parent your child remembers, this one will hit deep. And maybe piss you off. That’s the point.
