In this episode, Nicki Reisberg sits down with Jack Hughes, a passionate 18-year-old and online safety advocate, for a candid and eye-opening chat about what it really takes to keep kids safe in the digital world. Jack opens up about his own experiences growing up with devices and why so many of the parental control tools out there just don’t cut it. They dive into why parents need more than just tech—they need real understanding.


Together, they unpack everything from the misleading comfort of app store ratings to the peer pressure teens feel around having the "right" devices. Jack also shares some of the clever (and kind of shocking) ways kids find to get around parental controls. 


Most importantly, Jack stresses the importance of parents staying actively involved—not just setting limits, but truly knowing what their kids are doing online. This is a must-listen for any parent feeling overwhelmed by digital parenting. Jack brings solid advice and helpful resources to make the journey a little less daunting—and a lot more empowered.


Jack Hughes helps parents protect their kids online. As an 18-year-old, he grew up in this digital age, and knows firsthand the dangers of the internet. Growing up in the digital world has made Jack an expert in everything parental controls and the dangers of the Internet. He also knows all the secrets and loopholes that kids know about Technology and parental controls. Connect with Jack here.
