Fundamentals Over Flash: How Discipline Creates Freedom and Builds a Resilient Kid
This one hits different.
For the first time ever, my son Castle Cripps steps into the studio. If you know him, you know he’s wired a little differently. Basketball. CrossFit. Broadcasting. Finance. The kid understands how a Roth IRA works better than most college grads, and he’s not afraid of hard work.
We talk about a summer that shaped him. Tough basketball camps. A coach who nearly sent him home on day one. Early mornings, protein breakfasts, CrossFit strength, and learning why fundamentals beat flash every time. Castle shares what it feels like to push through “I don’t like this” and come out stronger on the other side.
We also get real about habits. Sleep over screens. Outdoor play over all-night gaming. Why calling for a ride at a sleepover isn’t quitting, it’s choosing tomorrow. There’s a fun nutrition detour, lessons from mowing lawns, and a surprisingly sharp breakdown of money, ownership, and why starting a Roth IRA early changes everything.
This episode is about building a durable mindset. For young athletes. For parents. For anyone who believes discipline creates freedom.
🏀 Strength before spotlight
💪 Consistency over motivation
💰 Think like an owner early
👨👦 Always keep the call-me lifeline open
If you care about youth sports, parenting, or raising kids who can handle real life, this episode is for you.
Since the recording of this episode my Dad passed away. I lost my Dad, Best Friend and Mentor all in one moment. My son lost his Pappa, Mom lost her husband, team mate and love of her life of over 60 years.
*Don't take the little things for granted. Enjoy the moment understanding.. there will be a last moment.
Even though it is hard... be thankful for the time you had.
Let’s charge forward together. 🚀🔥
If one story, one insight, or one spark made you better this year—mission accomplished.
