This week, I’m sharing unfiltered, never-before-heard moments recorded right after my interview with my son Beau. I open up about parenting—what’s worked, what hasn’t, and what I’m still learning. I talk about helicopter parenting, the pressures teens face today, and how parents can better support their kids in a social media world. We’ll also explore learning to care less about what others think, how your calling shows up in unexpected ways, and how you can find perspective through hardship. If you're a parent, a leader, or just want deeper connections, this episode is full of honest stories, real encouragement, and lessons you can use today.

In this episode:

• Unfiltered thoughts after my interview with my son, Beau
• Honest reflections on parenting style, challenges, and lessons learned
• Insights on helicopter parenting and raising teens in the age of social media
• How your calling reveals itself 
• A reflection on the California wildfires and finding perspective through hardship
• Whether TikTok should be banned and what AI might mean for our future
• The decline of real human connection

Here is my favorite quote from this episode:

“In life you have to toot your own horn. You have to know and believe and see and visualize and understand that you were fearfully and wonderfully made.” - Kim Gravel
