Created by Richard Jones, RN — the mind behind Parenting Your Child in Recovery and the King Maker Program — this podcast offers short, powerful sessions designed to help you:
• Understand what today’s young adults are REALLY up against
• Shift from worry and frustration to structure and strategy
• Learn the “parent side” of building agency, direction, and accountability
• Support your young adult without arguing, rescuing, or controlling
• Use the principles of the King Maker Program to strengthen influence at home
• Become the steady voice that helps them move from potential to purpose
Every episode is a pep talk — direct, honest, and grounded in decades of real-world experience with young adults in crisis, transition, and transformation.
This is not another “parenting tips” podcast.
This is where parents become king makers:
Adults who know how to guide, support, and encourage young men and women into confidence, leadership, and a future they can own.
If you’ve ever said to yourself,
“I know my child can do more — I just don’t know how to reach them,”
you’re in the right place.
Welcome to The King Maker Pep Talk —
where hope becomes strategy,
and strategy becomes transformation.
