What’s your relationship with your in-laws like? Be honest! 😂 In today’s episode, I introduce you to my amazing in-laws — Frank and Leann — and share how my perspective on family, boundaries, and connection has changed over the years.

From meeting them at Stone Mountain during my 2015 “100 in 90” Step Up Be A Voice challenge, to watching them move across the country to be closer to us — this is a story of love, growth, and God’s perfect timing.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Topics include:

• Learning to appreciate your in-laws (yes, it’s possible!)
• How God orchestrates relationships long before we realize it

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of This With Krish, I start by wishing my dad a very happy 73rd birthday — and then dive into one of the most important conversations happening (and not happening) in America today: fatherhood.

What does it mean to be a dad in 2025? To be present, to provide, and to lead your family in a culture that’s drifting away from traditional values?

We talk about:

✅ The real meaning of fatherhood and presence

✅ What it means to have a nuclear family — and why it matters

✅ America’s growing battle with fatherlessness

✅ Divorce rates, absentee fathers, and their real impact on kids

✅ Why children — believe it or not — desperately need their dad

✅ A call to fathers to show up, protect, and provide with love and humility

This episode is for every dad, every father figure, and anyone who believes strong families build strong communities.

November is Veterans Month — a time to honor the brave men and women who’ve served our country and the families who’ve stood beside them.

In this episode of This with Krish, I start by wishing a happy birthday to the incredible Captain Charlie Plumb, a Vietnam War hero, speaker, and author of “I’m No Hero.” Captain Plumb spent over six years as a prisoner of war and came home stronger than ever, teaching the world about resilience, gratitude, and perspective.

I also share a deeply personal story about Mr. and Mrs. Lambert, a couple I met years ago whose faith, love, and strength carried them far beyond the odds — a story that captures the heart of what Veterans Month is all about.

In Part 2 of the Stone Mountain Story, Krish picks up where we left off — the spring of 2014. What started as one man’s search for purpose after sobriety turned into something so much bigger.

After watching a powerful video of a young girl named Carolyn battling Ewing’s Sarcoma, Krish began climbing Stone Mountain weekly, starting a small “Monday Sunset Hiking Club.” On Easter Sunday, April 20th, he joined hundreds for the sunrise service — a moment that sparked the idea to keep climbing.

In April, he learned about the Atlanta-based nonprofit CURE Childhood Cancer, ran his first-ever 5K — Lauren’s Run— wearing a homemade “Praying for Carolyn” shirt (misspelling and all), and by June 2nd, 2014, committed to an incredible challenge: 100 climbs in 90 days.

This episode captures the early steps of faith, courage, and calling — before there was a movement, a website, or a banner. Just a man, a mountain, and a mission.

Welcome to Part 1 of “The Climb” mini-series — the true story of how one ordinary day in 2014 became the start of something extraordinary.

At the time, I was sober, focused, and working in one of Atlanta’s fastest-growing real estate firms. Life was steady—but it still felt incomplete. Then came three moments that changed everything:

1️⃣ A heartbreaking post about a little girl named Carolyn fighting cancer.

2️⃣ A $39 gym membership charge that reminded me I wasn’t living fully.

3️⃣ A spontaneous decision to hike Stone Mountain that turned into a spiritual turning point. This is the story of how pain, purpose, and one climb set off a chain reaction that would eventually inspire thousands through Step Up, Be a Voice.

🚨 Roblox is under fire. Florida’s Attorney General has issued criminal subpoenas to Roblox over allegations that predators are using the platform to target children. Other states, including Kentucky and Louisiana, have filed similar actions. In this episode,

Krish takes a hard stance — not just on Roblox, but on video games as a whole. He’s said it before and he’ll say it again: Video games are stupid, a waste of time, and no one can change his mind. But this isn’t just a rant — it’s a wake-up call for parents. Online gaming platforms are not just breeding brain rot — they’re exposing children to grooming, exploitation, and real-world danger.

Kids don’t just “play pretend” — they build worlds.

In this episode of THIS with Krish, we talk about why letting your kids have a superhero, an imagination, and even a little chaos is one of the most important things you can do for their development (and your sanity). I share real stories from our home — my son Liam, who’s never been much into toys but thrives outdoors, and my daughter Brynlee, whose living room toy kingdom could qualify as a FEMA zone. But behind the mess is something beautiful — a mind learning empathy, emotion, and creativity in real time.

We’ll also dive into some fascinating research on the psychology of pretend play:

🧠 Harvard University’s Center on the Developing Child — explains how imagination helps kids process emotions, build empathy, and develop executive function.

🦸‍♂️ University of Minnesota’s “Batman Effect” study — found that kids who pretended to be superheroes had greater persistence and focus during difficult tasks.

💬 American Academy of Pediatrics — notes that imaginative play directly supports emotional regulation, language skills, and problem-solving. So yeah — that pile of toys on your floor isn’t chaos… it’s creativity under construction.

Watch, laugh, and maybe see your kids a little differently after this one.

In this hilarious episode of THIS with Krish Show, Krish gets real about marriage — the laughter, the love, and yes… the farts. 😂

From recalling a powerful 2016 sermon at Buckhead Church with Andy Stanley about guarding your heart, to sharing how holding in gas almost ended his dating life with Shannon — this one has it all.

Scientists say three things make your relationship happier and healthier:

1️⃣ Disliking the same people

2️⃣ Farting in front of each other

3️⃣ Teasing each other But Krish takes it deeper — why shared humor, emotional honesty, and faith all play a part in lasting love. If you and your spouse ever laughed at the same person, blamed the dog, or roasted each other out of love — this episode is for you.
