Ever wondered how to raise kids who can handle whatever life throws at them without becoming paranoid or fearful? In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Nick Taylor, AKA B Nick Energy, a father, security professional, and kidney donor who shares his unfiltered approach to preparing his 18-year-old daughter for the realities of today's world.
Nick opens up about watching his daughter head off to college in a party town and the sleepless nights that followed. We explore his philosophy of teaching kids to "look for the best in people while preparing them to handle the worst" and why he believes there's no such thing as preparing your children too much for life's challenges.
The Art of Balanced Preparation
Discover why Nick teaches his daughter to make friends with the biggest guy on the football team and how situational awareness becomes second nature. Learn the difference between raising warriors versus victims and why teaching self-defense to daughters isn't just recommended - it's essential in today's world.
The Social Media Reality Check
Uncover Nick's take on the "get ready with me" culture and why teaching kids that nobody actually cares how they make their toast is crucial for their mental health. Learn how to help your children maintain healthy boundaries and why knowing yourself alone is just as important as knowing how to be with others.
Remember, being a great dad isn't about sheltering your children from the world - it's about giving them the tools, awareness, and support systems they need to navigate it confidently. Are you ready to stop worrying and start preparing your kids to be the warriors they need to be? Listen now and discover how one father's security expertise translates into real-world parenting wisdom that could keep your children safe.
