We dive into one of the most pressing questions for modern dads: how do we prepare our kids for a future dominated by AI and rapid technological change? In this episode, we challenge the traditional education playbook and explore the skills that will actually matter in 10-20 years.

We discuss why being personable and building strong people skills might be the ultimate competitive advantage, how athletics and team sports develop resilience that translates directly to career success, and why creativity and entrepreneurship are becoming more valuable than ever. We also tackle why traditional college degrees are becoming less relevant, the surprising value of trade skills over white-collar work, and how to raise kids who can think critically in a world of easy AI answers.

Drawing from our own experiences hiring, firing, and building teams, we share real insights about what makes people successful in the modern workplace. This isn't futurism or speculation—it's what we're seeing right now in our companies and industries.

Whether you're raising toddlers or teenagers, this episode will challenge you to think differently about your kids' education and development. We're not about raising office drones—we're about raising resilient, creative, personable humans who can thrive in whatever world they inherit.

Topics covered:

• Why people skills trump technical skills
• The hidden value of athletics and team sports
• Teaching critical thinking vs. AI dependency
• Trade skills vs. traditional college paths
• Building entrepreneurial mindsets early
• The importance of creativity and imagination

Join us for an honest conversation about preparing our kids for an uncertain—but exciting—future.

In this episode, we share how we've approached screen time with our kids over the past 13 years and why we've made choices that go against what most families do. We talk about what we've observed in our own children when we limit their exposure to screens, phones, and devices - and what we've noticed in ourselves when we've made changes to our own habits.

What We Cover:

• Why we decided early on to take a different path with technology
• The alternatives we've found that actually work (Yoto players, audiobooks, outdoor time)
• How we handle the peer pressure and "but everyone else gets to" conversations
• What we do when we do allow screen time (blue light glasses, specific content choices)
• Why we think the morning sunlight and outdoor time matters more than most people realize
• How our own relationship with phones and screens affects our kids

Our Practical Approach:

• What we use instead of iPads for entertainment
• The compromise we've found for necessary technology
• Why we think the bar is set too low for what kids actually need
• What we've learned about our kids' attention spans and creativity when screens aren't an option

We're not trying to convince anyone to do exactly what we do, but we wanted to share what we've discovered works for our families. Sometimes the path that feels harder upfront ends up being the easier one in the long run.

In our first Q&A episode, we dive into real questions from listeners covering the full spectrum of fatherhood challenges. From creative workout solutions (like front squats with toddlers in carriers) to the brutal transition from one to two kids, we share honest insights from our own parenting journeys.

Key topics we cover:

• Practical fitness advice for busy dads, including HIIT workouts at home and using kid carriers for resistance training
• The reality check of going from one to two children - why it's often the hardest transition
• Vision improvement through reduced screen time and increased natural sunlight exposure
• A candid discussion about pornography addiction, addressing the underlying emotional triggers and offering practical strategies for recovery
• How our spiritual journeys have shaped our approach to fatherhood and family life
