Parenting is one of the most important jobs on earth. Done right, it can change the world; done wrong, it can destroy a universe. This podcast is designed to encourage, challenge, and inspire parents to raise children who rise above the confusion of their generation and build a firm foundation—developing into outstanding adults and key contributors to whatever part of society they're privileged to impact. Thank you for taking this journey with me as I honor the memory and legacy of my incredible mother and, hopefully, help you become an even better parent.—Paulette
