If you're a parent of a 10-16 year old, how would you respond to a grown man has pleasuring himself in front of your son or daughter, and there wasn't a damn thing you could do about it? That's question I could think of after recording this episode. There's an extremely high chance that this has already happened to your child, or far, far worse ... and like me, you have no clue. Do not be the parent who responds with, 'not my kid'. I said the same thing, and I was wrong. Stop reading right now, and go ask your kid if they've ever heard of the site Omegle. If they respond 'yes' - they have been present to highly explicit acts, live and in person. They have been victimized, imprinted. It's time to start having conversations. In this episode, myself and Eric Carricato, Sergeant with the NYPD and Dad, step into Omegle and ask the people there if this site is safe for children. What we discover very quick, is a harsh reality that almost no parents are even aware of. Their children have been hurt, and they have no clue.

Bag failures suck. Especially when there's kid's food, diapers and important lunches on long trips. Gear failures create stress, can damage stuff around you, and generally ruin what should otherwise be enjoyable, quality family time. And who's to blame? Probably, you. Showing up to events with whatever cheap shoulder bag you've been told to carry, that has some cartoon character on it - sort of takes away from who you really are. You'll joke about it, say it's not really important ... But it is. If this topic wasn't important, Napoleon Hill would not have included it in all of his works and courses; how your mindset will be strongly influenced by your dress, and how you show up. Join this discussion about how gear like backpacks and lunch bags can literally change the way a man feels when showing up in life, how things can be made easier and a happier and a more connected family in moments, can be the result.

I found it in a local community Facebook page, a parent sharing an article they'd found about a girl not pulling over for an unmarked police car. They soon found out that the person trying to pull her over was a wanted rapist. It created a big buzz in my community, but something about the article didn't sit right with me ... What you're going to learn in this episode: How to teach your kids to respond when they are pulled overWhat to do if an unmarked police car tries to pull them overHow to teach your kids what police are thinking, and why that's importantRemember, you're fight will be in court, not with the police officerWhy you have to show ID ... Upon researching it, I discovered that it had been making it's way around the internet for a few years. Nothing new. However, the very real problem of that article is that it's a confusing topic, and one that parent's should not take lightly and just tell their kids to do something that they themselves are uncertain of.  So, in this episode we sit down with Sergeant Eric Carricato, (NYPD) and he goes through the shared letter and offers step by step advice on precisely what to tell your kids and how to coach them to have the best possible outcome when getting pulled over by a police officer.  This one episode could not only save your family thousands of dollars from fines, insurance increases and time lost, but can also help you teach your kids how police think and what they are looking for.  START TRAINING YOUR KIDS NOW Here’s a complimentary lesson I made for channel listeners on the 3 Discussions you must have with your kids about safety and survival.

One of the many challenges we as parents face is projecting our expectations onto our children, and assuming they are going to know what these expectations mean.

A couple of years out of college and he started doing things and going places he never would have expected. From traveling to personal growth to marriage and child to divorce and parenthood to entrepreneurialism and inspiring others. Ben has flown an airplane on his own and has been scuba diving in the Galapagos. He has seen the animals of Tanzania and has traveled all over Europe with a 6-month-old child in tow. He has performed improv for over a decade, acted in several plays, and even a movie. He has owned several businesses. His biggest passion is exploring the mind. In all of his personal growth work, the one constant was that it all stems from the mind. Between personal growth and improv, he found this weird realm called expectations. And while most people would shy away from such a thing, he decided to tackle it head-on. Along his journey, he decided that “the only reason anyone gets upset is because an expectation hasn’t been met.” And begin teaching that in his Success Improv business.

On this episode, we sit down with leading excellence and mindset coach, former International Taekwon Do champion, ultra marathon runner and proud Dad of three boys, who is involved in more community work than we have space to list here. Joe details for us, how shifting your mindset to one of daily excellence, empowers rather than enables.  This discussion breaks open how to coach your children through hardships, build their independence and shows how to see 'convenience' for what it truly is, the oppositional force to achieving excellence.  In this episode you will learn about: The difference between excellence and convenienceHow to lead your child into hard choices to create resilienceImplementing the "what if?" and "reset button" tools with your kidsThe chemical reason to smile... so much more. ABOUT JOE TEMPLIN Author of Everyday Excellence: A Daily Guide to Growing Get the book here Joe Templin's Website JOE TEMPLIN'S BIO As one of six kids (the only normal one, he insists) growing up in a small town and spending time on the family farm, Joe’s parents (John and Barb) instilled a love of learning, the outdoors, and a healthy disrespect for authority while still simultaneously embracing traditional values of hard work and “love thy neighbor but mind your own dang business.” This is Joe’s foundation. He was severely asthmatic but through his work ethic and love of challenge has become a martial artist and ultra-distance runner. He had a speech impediment but has built a career around communicating. This habit of overcoming limitations is a theme in his life and his writings. Joe has three hooligans (Danny, Liam, and Colin) and is a very proud member of the Pi Kappa Phi Fraternity, having served multiple times as President of his local Foundation and Chapter Advisor. He has also served on the local, State, and National levels for NAIFA, is a Cubmaster (worst one ever if you ask his boys), and is involved with his local Autism Society. Serving others is important to Joe, because of how his parents raised him.
