ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Growing up, my dad wanted me to be a sports superstar. I tried T-ball, boxing, taekwondo, and softball—and even though I appreciated him taking me, sports just weren't my thing.
As an entrepreneur and father to Jaden and Jasper, I’ve learned that forcing our kids into our own unfulfilled dreams is the fastest way to crush their confidence. In this episode of Legacy Builders, I break down why pouring into your kids' actual passions—whether it's building costumes, playing piano, drawing, or baking—is where real entrepreneurial seeds get planted.
We talk about the "Invisible ROI" of fatherhood, teaching kids to fail safely, and why being present (instead of just nearby on your phone) changes everything.
