What if the modern American family is actually a failed experiment?

In this extended conversation, I sit down with Jeremy Pryor, Family Leadership Expert and Co-Founder of Family Teams, to unpack what it looks like to lead your family with vision, courage, and purpose. We explore why so many men bring their best energy and strategy to their careers but not to their homes — and what it takes to reclaim your role as the coach and culture-builder of the most important team you’ll ever lead.

This is not just about parenting. It’s about leadership, identity, and legacy. Jeremy challenges the “nest” model of family that dominates our culture, explains why kids are not liabilities but valuable contributors, and casts a vision for fathers to step up as visionary coaches rather than passive babysitters.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why the modern family structure is failing and what the ancient “team” model teaches us

• How to see your kids as assets, not burdens, and invite them into meaningful roles

• Why fathers are uniquely called to lead with vision, courage, and culture-building

• Practical ways to craft a mission, vision, and values for your family

Whether you’re a father, a future father, or simply a leader who wants to leave a lasting legacy, this episode will inspire you to rethink how you lead at home — and challenge you to step into your most important leadership role with clarity and conviction.

Episode # 65

I thought I was doing great as a dad and husband — I was present, I provided, I cared deeply. But here’s the truth: I wasn’t actually leading my family well.

I brought vision, strategy, and energy into my work… but not into my home. That all changed when I discovered a different model for family leadership — one that’s been practiced for thousands of years but almost forgotten today.

This isn’t just about parenting. It’s about leadership. And it’s about the most important team you’ll ever lead: your family.

In this episode, I share 3 paradigm shifts that will change how you think about your role as a father and leader:

• Why the “nest” model of family is broken — and how to embrace the “team” model

• Why seeing your kids as “liabilities” robs them of identity — and how to raise them as valuable contributors

• Why fathers aren’t called to be passive babysitters — but visionary coaches who develop talent, build culture, and cast vision

You’ll walk away with practical steps to start leading your family with purpose and clarity.
