Today's episode we speak with the "Godmother of Silicon Valley,"  Esther Wojcicki. 
If you have not heard of her - you must listen to this episode.

She is the author of the best selling book "How to Raise Successful People - Simple Lessons for Radical Results"
 She's as expert no doubt because she has raised three enormously successful daughters including Susan Wojcicki,  who was the CEO of Youtube from 2014 to 2023. Janet Wojcicki, a professor of Pediatrics and Anne Wojcicki, co-founder and CEO of 23 and Me.

How does this relate to our adult children?  She talks about a strategy she calls TRICK – Trust, Respect, Independence, Collaboration and Kindness.

Each of these are essential in our relationships with our adult children.  She gives advice to those listeners who are grandparents and also a general overview of the challenging world we are all in today.  

What is our role?  How schools are failing our kids and once again the role of over-involment in our children’s lives and how this impacts their journey in life.

Hear her thoughts on nature vs nurture and much more.
