Three dads talk with former Austin mayor Steve Adler about raising independent kids, building family culture that lasts, and setting tech boundaries that keep values first. We focus on modeled behavior, earned privilege, and why agency beats entitlement.

• modeling values through consistent choices
• designing age-appropriate privileges and limits
• teaching agency over outcomes and setbacks
• simple tech rules, delayed social media, dumb phones
• using sports and teams to build resilience
• family traditions that bond across distance
• owning tradeoffs in work, time, and presence
• practical advice for the middle school to high school years

Check it out in our show notes. We'd love to have you as a premium member because this Saturday we have a special event

We trade jokes for honesty and talk about aging, injury, and the fear of being average, then land on a challenge: pick one thing and be undeniable. Adult competition, powerlifting vs marathons, and real talk about identity turn a casual catch-up into a turning point.

• sponsor shoutouts and premium member thanks
• health updates: knees, hamstring, cold plunge, cleats
• youth feedback on aging skills and passing
• camaraderie, community, and competing after 40
• effort vs injury risk and league fit
• pick one discipline and pursue it deeply
• the case for powerlifting focus over endurance overlap
• identity, people-pleasing, and fear of failure
• practical training trade-offs and recovery
• quick college football takes and ticket offer
