Parenting might just be the ultimate sales job, and in this episode, Krista and Brian get real about what it takes to "sell" your kids on the values and family culture you want to create. Drawing from their 18+ years of experience raising three children (ages 18, 16, and 10), they explore how the same principles that make you successful in business can transform your approach to parenting. From getting buy-in on bedtime routines to navigating the teenage years, this conversation breaks down why traditional parenting advice often falls short when emotions run high. Throughout their candid discussion, they share: The challenge of raising kids in an increasingly noisy world with constant information access Their strict phone rule and why it's helped keep their family close (despite teenage protests) How handmade cards for birthdays and holidays cultivate deeper appreciation and connection The art of apologizing and recovering quickly when family tensions arise Why they don't buy their kids material things on demand - and the delayed gratification lessons this teaches How to cultivate empathy by helping kids see situations from each other's perspectives Their approach to gift-giving that builds thoughtfulness in relationships What they're NOT doing well: chores, taking kids out of the center of their universe, and missing games Whether you're in the thick of toddler negotiations, navigating the complexity of teenagers, or just trying to create a family unit that genuinely enjoys being together, this episode offers a refreshingly honest perspective on parenting that goes beyond traditional advice to focus on influence, connection, and authentic leadership in your home.

If you're stuck in the holiday hustle and bustle and need a jolt of perspective on what's really important, this episode is for you! Danielle Gletow, founder of One Simple Wish, opens up about the personal experiences and values that led her to create this remarkable platform, which empowers people to directly grant wishes for children and young adults facing challenges like foster care, poverty, and homelessness. As Danielle explains, her own difficult upbringing fueled a deep desire to provide the support and resources she wishes she had access to growing up. Through One Simple Wish, she's found a way to amplify the voices of those in need and give everyday people a meaningful way to make a difference. The conversation explores the ups and downs of running a growing nonprofit organization. Danielle gets candid about the tough decisions she's had to make, like leaving the corporate world to focus on her passion project, and turning down high-profile media opportunities that didn't align with her values. She also shares how One Simple Wish unexpectedly went viral after a Reddit post, and the important lessons she learned about handling sudden spikes in attention and donations. Throughout it all, Danielle emphasizes the importance of staying true to your purpose and finding fulfillment in the work itself, rather than chasing external validation or attention.
