How Meir Ezra Rewrote the Parenting Playbook: Raising Able, Confident, Self-Directed Kids
Send us a text
In this powerful episode, Brent sits down with Meir Ezra, entrepreneur, educator, former Israeli submariner, and creator of the “Parent Academy” — a program used by over a million parents worldwide.
But this episode isn’t about money or business.
It’s about parenting — raw, unfiltered, deeply challenging, and radically empowering parenting.
Meir shares the philosophy that shaped his three children into grounded, purpose-driven, exceptionally capable adults. His ideas flip conventional parenting wisdom on its head and force us to confront what we really want for our kids:
Do we want obedient children…
or able, self-determined humans?
🔥 Big Takeaways
- Behind every “bad action” is a good intention. Your job is to find it.
- Children don’t learn from what you say. They learn from what you model.
- Fear destroys ability. Confidence is built through confrontation, not avoidance.
- Your child’s body, room, and possessions are THEIRS — because self-determinism is sacred.
- Never make your child an effect. Teach them to be cause.
🎯 Why You Should Listen
If you want to raise kids who:
- think for themselves,
- bounce back from adversity,
- take responsibility,
- and grow into high-character adults…
…this conversation will alter your entire approach to fatherhood.
This episode will challenge you. It will stretch you.
And it just might make you the father you’ve always wanted to be.
