In this heartfelt episode, I open up about the challenges and joys of parenting teenage boys—particularly from a father’s perspective. As a dad to a 14-year-old son (and more soon to be teenagers!), I reflect on my own struggles with balancing tough love, encouragement, and showing enough praise. I share a recent honest conversation with my son about pressure, fear of failure, and the importance of letting your kids set their own standards. If you’re a parent navigating the emotional ups and downs of the teenage years, I hope my personal experiences and reflections resonate with you.

I also talk about why it’s so important to show our sons how proud we are of them—and how I’m working to change my approach by being more compassionate and supportive. As always, my daily vlog is part of the mission to save children’s lives by pursuing my barefoot ultra marathon run challenge. Thanks for tuning in and being part of the journey!
