A Note from James:Today on the show, I have a very special guest and a good friend of mine, Brandon Webb.Brandon has been on the show many times before. He's a former Navy SEAL, and he also ran the Navy SEAL sniper school that trained some of the best snipers in the world, including the sniper the movie American Sniper was based on. He's written a ton of books about the military, leadership, confidence, mental toughness, and even military thrillers. A few weeks ago, we talked about what was going on in Iran, and I encourage you to go back and listen to that episode too.His new book is Puddle Jumpers: Simple and Proven Ways to Raise Confident & Joyful Kids. This is not your typical parenting book. It's not filled with abstract academic theory. I hate those books. This is written by a dad who has been through war, divorce, rebuilding businesses, and raising three kids as a committed co-parent after he and his ex-wife split.And I know his kids. From my perspective, he's done a great job.As a father myself, I was really interested in this book. And even beyond parenting, it was useful for thinking about the kind of discipline I need to apply to myself. I've been divorced. I've had failed businesses. It's hard navigating those life traumas while also trying to be a good father. Brandon has lived that, and he writes about it honestly.So let's get into it. My friend, the one and only Brandon Webb. Welcome back to the show.Episode Description:James talks with former Navy SEAL, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and father of three Brandon Webb about parenting, co-parenting, discipline, confidence, failure, and what it actually takes to raise resilient kids.Brandon's new book, Puddle Jumpers, is not a parenting book written from an ivory tower. It comes from lived experience: war, divorce, rebuilding after business failure, co-parenting across households, and trying to raise kids who can handle real life. His central point is simple but difficult: kids need love, support, boundaries, and enough ordinary stress to develop confidence.The conversation is practical and personal. Brandon explains why successful co-parenting requires putting the kids ahead of old resentments, why parents should ask better questions, why punishment without understanding the “why” can backfire, and why kids need to experience failure instead of being protected from every hard moment.What makes this episode useful is that the advice works beyond parenting. The same ideas—take responsibility, ask better questions, tolerate discomfort, celebrate small wins, and learn from failure—apply to adults too.What You'll Learn:Why Brandon wrote a parenting book after years of writing about the military, leadership, and mental toughness.How he and his ex-wife built a healthy co-parenting relationship after divorce.Why “happy mom, happy kids” became one of his guiding principles.How everyday stressors—ordering food, asking for an autograph, taking the subway—build real confidence in kids.Why parents should praise effort, risk-taking, and resilience rather than simply telling kids they are smart.How to discipline with love by getting to the “why” behind bad behavior.Why sometimes the best parenting move is not advocating for your kid.How to help kids find purpose by exposing them to lots of people, places, skills, and experiences.Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] Brandon on parent-to-parent advice versus academic theory[03:02] A Note from James: Brandon Webb returns[04:42] From Navy SEAL books to a parenting book[05:27] Why Brandon never expected to write about parenting[06:14] Friends asking Brandon for parenting advice[07:25] Why he saw a gap in parenting books[08:12] Applying SEAL mental management tools to parenting[09:01] Co-parenting after divorce[09:29] Brandon's ex-wife and kids joining the audiobook[09:47] Publishing with Authors Equity[11:07] Why co-parenting often breaks down[11:48] How the family court system can create conflict[13:22] The therapist who helped Brandon and Gretchen divorce well[15:29] “Happy mom, happy kids”[16:31] Responding when plans change after divorce[17:35] What the kids remember about healthy co-parenting[18:24] Why each chapter could be its own book[19:41] Building confidence and celebrating small wins[21:00] The power of ordinary stress[21:53] Asking for an autograph and building courage[23:33] Why kids need “wind” to grow stronger roots[24:47] The New York subway story and trusting kids[25:31] Failure, responsibility, and protecting kids too much[26:35] Praising effort versus praising intelligence[28:26] Brandon's daughter failing her belt test[30:19] Why painful moments can become gifts[30:53] What Brandon wishes he had done better as a father[31:51] Three questions Brandon asked his kids[32:36] Why parents need to ask better questions[33:22] One-on-one trips with each child[34:00] Questions that led to a four-hour dinner conversation[38:25] Discipline, emotional reactions, and over-punishment[39:43] Getting to the “why” behind behavior[42:00] The pizza delivery suspension story[43:25] Changing the environment when a kid is struggling[44:26] Discipline checklist and making kids feel heard[44:49] When parents over-advocate[45:10] Getting kicked off the basketball team[46:00] The talented jerk problem[46:38] What changed when Brandon took the coach's feedback seriously[48:24] Accountability, consequences, and adult life[49:00] Helping kids find purpose[49:39] Travel, culture, and exposing kids to new experiences[50:14] Supporting a child's talent when it shows up[51:17] What to do when your kid chooses a path you don't love[52:33] Becoming an advisor as kids grow up[53:14] Why mentors matter[53:32] Purpose changes over time[56:23] Creating a “forever family”[57:26] Brandon reads a letter from his daughter[59:23] Why the lessons apply to adults too[01:00:07] Closing thoughts on Puddle JumpersAdditional ResourcesPuddle Jumpers: Simple and Proven Ways to Raise Confident & Joyful KidsBrandon Webb's official websiteSOFREP, the military and foreign policy news site Brandon runsPuddle Jumpers Parenting, Brandon's Substack on raising joyful, resilient kidsWall Street Journal interview with Brandon Webb about Puddle JumpersSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, Brandon Webb — Navy SEAL, former sniper instructor, and author of the brand new parenting book Puddle Jumpers — joins a live Dad Edge Alliance Q&A to answer real questions from real dads. No filters, no talking points. Just a man who has raised three extraordinary kids through divorce, business failure, and years of hard-won parenting lessons, going deep on the questions most dads are quietly carrying. The questions cover everything — what to tell your younger self as a new dad, how to act vs. wait when stakes are high, how to build confidence and resilience in your kids without SEAL-level pressure, how to get a reluctant 12-year-old to open up, what ordinary magic looks like in everyday parenting, and how to co-parent well when your ex has moved on and moved away. Brandon's philosophy is simple, practical, and backed by research: get to the why before you drop the hammer, let your kids do small hard things on their own, teach them to use their voice rather than your own, and remember that your voice will become their inner voice. He also drops one of the most memorable parenting wins on the show — a handwritten note from his 22-year-old daughter that he read four or five times and has carried ever since. Timeline Summary [0:00] Introduction to the Dad Edge Alliance Q&A — and why this is what happens inside the Alliance every month [3:33] How Puddle Jumpers came to be — three kids, a divorce, a business failure, and strangers asking Brandon for advice [6:12] The mud puddle that gave the book its name — and the kind of dad Brandon decided to be in that moment [8:29] Q1: What would you tell your younger self as a new father? [9:22] Lead with love, be present, and choose quality over quantity — especially when you don't have much time [11:16] Say sorry. Own your mistakes in front of your kids. They're watching conflict resolution in real time. [13:36] Q2: How do you decide when to act vs. wait when stakes are high and you don't have full clarity? [14:10] Get to the why of the behavior before you punish — the checklist Brandon uses from his SEAL days [16:11] The teacher who publicly humiliated his son — and why Brandon and his ex took their son's side and pulled him out [19:43] Getting to the core driver of the behavior before you act is the most important move a parent can make [23:29] Q3: How do you build resilience and confidence in kids without SEAL-level pressure? [24:36] Positive psychology from the sniper course — paint the picture of what to do, not what to stop doing [25:46] Your voice becomes their inner voice — choose what you want living in their head [27:00] Ordinary magic — letting kids do small tasks alone is how confidence gets built over time [27:54] The Portland airport and the soccer team selfies — what happens when you make your kid ask for himself [30:11] Q4: My 12-year-old is reluctant to open up — how do I get him to talk? [31:01] Never sit them down at the kitchen table — do it in the car, on a walk, shooting hoops [32:13] Ask ten times if you need to. Peel the layers back slowly and never make it confrontational. [33:01] Ask better questions — Brandon has a full reference guide in the back of Puddle Jumpers [45:00] Q5: How do you navigate divorce and still raise great kids? [45:21] The psychologist who changed everything — happy mom, happy kids. Default to that when you're triggered. [48:28] Agree up front to put the kids first and police your own family from choosing sides [57:15] Get a PhD-level psychologist to help — not just a counselor. It's the best money Brandon ever spent. [1:00:40] Lead by example, speak positively about your ex, and trust that your kids are watching everything Five Key Takeaways Get to the why before you punish. The behavior is a symptom — and if you react to the symptom without understanding the cause, you can push your kid away in ways that take years to repair. Your voice becomes their inner voice. Think about how you want to be heard inside your child's head ten years from now. That is the standard your daily words have to meet. Ordinary magic is how confidence is built. Letting your kids tie their own shoes, order their own food, and ask for their own autograph — these tiny moments accumulate into a kid who believes they can handle the world. Never have the hard conversation sitting down face to face. Do it in the car. On a walk. Shooting hoops. Kids open up when their body is moving and the pressure is off. If the co-parenting relationship is not adversarial, you're already ahead of the curve. Protect that at all costs. Police your own family. Speak positively about your ex. Your kids are watching you model how adults handle hard things.

Brandon Webb raised three extraordinary kids through divorce, business failure, deployments, and more than a few mistakes. And the letter his daughter left him before he came to New York — the one he read four or five times and still carries — is proof that the work is worth it. Be present. Get to the why. Let them do hard things on their own. And speak the words you want living inside their heads. Go out and live legendary.

From SEAL Sniper to Puddle Jumper: Brandon Webb on How to Raise Confident and Joyful Kids

“Being a father is probably one of the toughest and most rewarding jobs I've ever had. A lot of the principles I used to teach snipers apply to kids: dealing with negativity, replacing negative self-talk, learning that well-meaning adults can say terrible things — and you don't have to take that on as baggage.” — Brandon Webb Brandon Webb defines himself as an author, entrepreneur, Navy SEAL sniper, and father. But not in that order. The first three he leveraged into a series of bestselling books about the art of sniping. The fourth — the art of being a loving father — he dodged and ducked for years. But fatherhood might be Webb's real calling. People regularly pulled him aside after meeting his grown children to ask him about his “secret” for being an effective dad. His kids were making eye contact, they were asking good questions rather than staring at their phones. Most astonishingly, they seemed happy. Webb's new book, Puddle Jumpers: Simple and Proven Ways to Raise Confident and Joyful Kids, reveals his secret of parenting. It applies the positive performance psychology Webb learned as a Navy SEAL sniper instructor — how to redirect negative self-talk, how to deal with well-meaning adults who say damaging things, how to build mental toughness without destroying connection — to the work of raising children. It outlines his parenting philosophy of both high expectations and high support. Think of Puddle Jumpers as simultaneously the manual for tiger and the bunny parenting. Brandon Webb's ultimate calling in life is as a parent. Father, author, entrepreneur and Navy SEAL sniper. In that order. Five Takeaways • The Sniper Instructor as Parenting Coach: Webb was running the Navy SEAL sniper program at 27 years old. The psychology they taught there — positive self-talk, replacing negative internal narratives, dealing with adversity without being broken by it — is what he applied to parenting. The connection is not as strange as it sounds: both sniping and parenting require performing under pressure, dealing with failure without catastrophising, and building confidence that is genuine rather than brittle. The difference is that the stakes in parenting last a lifetime. • High Expectations, High Support: Webb's alternative to the false choice between permissive parenting and authoritarian discipline. Permissive parenting replaces preparation with protection. Authoritarian discipline breaks connection. Puddle Jumper Parenting holds both simultaneously: clear expectations and emotional safety. Kids need to know what's required of them. They also need to know they won't be abandoned when they fail. Webb's word for children raised this way: puddle jumpers — kids who leap into life's messy moments with full-hearted abandon, not because they're fearless but because they trust themselves to recover. • The Credit Card Lesson: Don't Bail Them Out: Webb's son Jackson managed a self-storage facility through college and ended up with a $25,000 ownership payout as a sophomore at St Andrews. He spent it like a drunken sailor on shore leave, got a credit card, ran up $12,000 in debt at predatory interest rates, and called his father for help. Webb's response: you remember that conversation we had? Figure it out. He let his son suffer. Jackson's girlfriend hated Webb for two years. At the end, Jackson paid off the debt with a new business and told his father it was one of the best lessons he'd ever been taught. It would have been easy to bail him out. The suffering was the lesson. • Purpose and the War Veteran: Viktor Frankl's Lesson: How does a combat veteran come home intact? Webb's answer: purpose. His Afghanistan deployment had clear moral logic — the propaganda posters in the caves, the training camps, the towers. That clarity carried him through. Iraq was different. Soldiers who went to Iraq with no understanding of why they were there — and whose friends in 2010 were saying we have no idea what we're doing here — came home broken. Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning: purpose is the thing that makes endurance possible. Without it, violence that cannot be assigned rational meaning produces serious mental illness. • Teach Kids About Money: The American Economy Preys on Them: Webb has strong opinions: America's economy is largely fuelled by consumer debt. Credit card companies prey on college students because they know the parents will bail them out. Kids need to understand the system before the system takes advantage of them. His prescription: teach them age-appropriate financial literacy early. The Acorns Early app gamifies financial learning for children. The deal he struck with all his kids in college: I pay for school, you have a roof and food, but if you want to socialise, get a job. The lesson is not just about money. It's about agency.

In a world of constant disruption, resilience is a superpower. In a world of convenience, ease, and growing abundance, building resilience is becoming increasingly difficult - especially among children. Grit, determination, tenacity, and resolve are valued traits, but too few parents know how to build these characteristics in their children through the “ordinary magic” of childhood.Brandon Webb is a former U.S. Navy SEAL sniper instructor and author of the book “Puddle Jumpers.” In this interview, Brandon shares how true mental toughness is built through calm consistency, emotional safety, and the everyday words our kids hear: “You've got this.” “Try again—I believe in you.” Brandon discusses how parents can set high expectations while giving high support—so kids feel safe enough to take risks, make mistakes, and bounce back stronger.Brandon goes on to discuss the difficult conversations - about sex, drugs, social media, and gun violence - many parents are uncomfortable having and when the appropriate timing is to introduce children to these real-world subjects. Brandon concludes with his advice for parents who want to prepare their children for the future. After leaving home at sixteen, Brandon Webb went on to become a decorated Navy SEAL sniper turned entrepreneur—but his most meaningful title is still Dad to three young adults who somehow all keep finding their way back home to raid the fridge and leave with clean laundry. As a U.S. Navy Chief, he led the Navy SEAL Sniper School, training some of America's most legendary marksmen. He's also a multiple New York Times bestselling author—though his kids like to remind him, “You're still just Dad.”

Why Protecting Your Kids Too Much Can Backfire in the Long Run with Brandon Webb

As parents, it's natural to want to protect our kids from disappointment, struggle, and discomfort. We step in because we care deeply. We want to make life easier for them. But sometimes, in trying to protect our kids from hard feelings, we accidentally keep them from building the confidence and resilience they'll need later in life. In this episode, JoAnn sits down with former Navy SEAL sniper instructor and author Brandon Webb to talk about what really helps kids grow into capable, confident adults. Brandon shares how lessons from elite military training surprisingly connect to everyday parenting challenges—and why letting kids experience failure, discomfort, and responsibility may actually be one of the most loving things we can do. Together, they explore how parenting support isn't about making life perfect for our kids. It's about helping them trust themselves enough to handle life when things don't go perfectly. In This Episode, We Talk About: Why overprotective parenting can unintentionally weaken confidence and resilience How small everyday struggles help kids build emotional strength Why failure is an important part of raising strong children The difference between supportive parenting and rescuing kids from discomfort How negative self-talk develops in kids—and what parents can do instead Why the way we talk to our kids eventually becomes their inner voice Practical parenting tips for helping kids push through challenges without shame How visualization and positive coaching techniques can help kids handle stress and pressure The importance of mentors, coaches, and supportive adults outside the parent-child relationship How to pause and regulate your own emotions before responding during difficult parenting moments Why This Conversation Matters Many overwhelmed moms feel pressure to prevent their kids from struggling. We want to shield them from disappointment because seeing our children hurt is incredibly hard. But Brandon explains that confidence doesn't come from constant praise or protection—it comes from overcoming challenges and realizing, “I can do hard things.” This conversation is a powerful reminder that parenting challenges are not signs we're failing. They're opportunities for our kids to grow. And often, the most supportive thing we can do is step back just enough to let them experience the natural lessons that build resilience, independence, and self-trust. If you've ever questioned whether you're being too hard or too soft—or wondered how to support your child without taking over—this episode offers thoughtful parenting education and practical tools you can start using right away.

Welcome back to another episode of Power Your Parenting Moms with Teens. Have you ever wondered if some of the same mental toughness strategies used to train Navy SEALs could actually help us raise more resilient, confident teens? In today's episode, we explore how allowing our kids to struggle, problem-solve, and experience manageable stress can actually strengthen them for life. Our guest today is Brandon Webb, a New York Times bestselling author, former Navy SEAL sniper instructor, entrepreneur, and father of three. Brandon spent over a decade training elite operators in performance psychology, mental conditioning, and resilience. In his new book, Puddle Jumpers, he applies those same principles to parenting, sharing practical tools for raising capable, joyful, and emotionally strong kids in today's challenging world. In this conversation, Brandon shares why protecting kids from every discomfort can actually backfire and how “ordinary stressors” help build confidence and emotional resilience. We discussed the power of visualization and mental rehearsal, how a parent's voice becomes a child's inner voice, why leading by example matters more than lectures, and how asking thoughtful open-ended questions can create deeper conversations with teens. Brandon also opens up about mistakes he made as a father, what he learned from them, and how parents can balance boundaries with independence while still preserving connection with their kids. Three Takeaways for Moms Small struggles help build strong roots. Allowing kids to experience manageable stress, responsibility, and discomfort helps them develop confidence and resilience over time. Your voice becomes your child's inner voice. The way parents speak to their kids—especially in emotional moments—can shape how teens eventually speak to themselves. Better questions create deeper conversations. Moving beyond “How was your day?” and asking open-ended, thoughtful questions can help teens open up in meaningful ways.

A Note from James:What is actually going on in Iran?I have Brandon Webb on the show today. He's a former Navy SEAL, he's written a ton of books about the military and life in the military, then he wrote a murder mystery series set in the military, and now he has a parenting book out.Brandon also runs SOFREP.com, a major military intelligence news site. He came on for a quick episode to answer the big question: what is actually happening in Iran, and what might happen next?Episode Description:In this fast-moving topical episode, James talks with former Navy SEAL and SOFREP founder Brandon Webb about Iran, regime instability, the Strait of Hormuz, and how modern military power is being used differently than it was in Iraq and Afghanistan.Brandon argues that the top levels of Iran's leadership have been badly disrupted, creating confusion about who is actually in charge and who the U.S. or Israel could negotiate with. From his perspective, that leadership vacuum creates two possible outcomes: either a moderate power center emerges inside the regime, or Iran's already strained economy worsens and the population rises up again.The conversation also tackles the biggest fear many listeners may have: whether this turns into another long, grinding U.S. nation-building project. Brandon's answer is no. He sees this as a different kind of military and intelligence operation—less about occupying territory, more about using special operations, air dominance, intelligence networks, and local opposition pressure.What makes this episode useful is that it cuts through the broad panic and gives listeners a clear framework: leadership disruption, economic pressure, domestic unrest, proxy networks, energy markets, and the question of whether Iran's regime can still hold itself together.What You'll Learn:Why Brandon thinks Iran's leadership disruption is the key fact driving everything else.The two outcomes he sees as most likely: a moderate negotiator emerging or a popular uprising.Why he does not think this becomes Iraq-style nation-building.How Iran's proxy network shapes the conflict beyond Iran's borders.Why the Strait of Hormuz threat may matter less than it would have decades ago.How Brandon thinks special operations and intelligence support may define the next phase of modern warfare.Timestamped Chapters:[02:00] A Note from James: what is actually happening in Iran?[02:33] Brandon's two most likely outcomes[02:35] Leadership disruption inside Iran[03:28] The Strait of Hormuz as Iran's “ace” card[04:00] Why the nuclear issue matters[04:51] Economic pressure and oil sales[05:08] Why civilians may be hesitant to rise up again[05:32] Moderate regime figure or popular uprising?[06:00] Why Brandon sees Iran as a long-standing threat[06:23] Iran's proxies in Yemen, Lebanon, and Gaza[06:51] Who is actually in charge inside Iran?[07:41] What a leadership vacuum might look like[08:19] CIA, Mossad, and opposition support[09:55] Is this another Iraq?[10:14] Brandon's view of modern military force[10:45] Venezuela as a case study[11:48] Regime change vs. nation-building[12:20] Strait of Hormuz, oil prices, and infrastructure risk[12:41] Why Brandon thinks oil disruption may be manageable[13:30] Alternative oil flows and pressure on China[14:02] James summarizes Brandon's view[14:36] Why Brandon thinks this is not a boots-on-the-ground war[15:26] What Afghanistan should have taught the U.S.[16:00] Dubai, UAE, and regional risk[16:36] Why Iran may have targeted the UAE[17:12] Closing thoughtsAdditional Resources:SOFREP, the military and foreign policy news site Brandon Webb runs as editor-in-chief.

Play Episode Listen Later May 4, 2026 66:04

In this episode, I sit down with Brandon Webb — Navy SEAL, former head instructor of the Navy SEAL Sniper Course, New York Times bestselling author of twelve books, and now the author of a brand new parenting book called Puddle Jumpers, releasing May 12th. Brandon's story starts where most men's don't — kicked off the family sailboat at 16 in the South Pacific after a blowup with his dad, finding a boat headed to Hawaii, and navigating his way into the Navy and eventually SEAL Team Three. But what makes this conversation extraordinary is watching a man who trained the most elite warriors on the planet — including some of the legends you already know — apply that same performance psychology to raising his three kids. We dig into what performance psychology actually is, why the sniper school's failure rate dropped to nearly zero when they stopped pointing out mistakes and started painting the picture of what to do instead, and how Brandon built that same positive reinforcement framework into how he parents. We also get into the moment his daughter humbled him while he was writing Puddle Jumpers — telling him that because he was their untouchable Navy SEAL hero, she never felt like it was okay to fail. We swap shoplifting stories, talk about the power of getting to the why before you drop the hammer, why boys between 12 and 15 are standing at a fork in the road that can go either way, and why asking better questions on a one on one trip unlocks conversations that would never happen face to face at home. Timeline Summary [0:00] Introduction to the Dad Edge mission and the movement to raise leaders of families and communities [1:02] Getting kicked off a sailboat at 16 in the South Pacific — and what his dad actually taught him [3:21] From deckhand at 13 to SEAL Team Three — and the book that made him think he could do it [7:29] Class 215 — graduating with Mike Ritland and serving with Eric Davis [9:20] Brandon's full background — SEAL, sniper instructor, NYT bestselling author, and now Puddle Jumpers [11:12] Why the book is called Puddle Jumpers — the mud puddle moment that became a philosophy [13:28] What performance psychology actually is — and why Brandon integrated it into the sniper program [17:22] The three pillars: mental rehearsal, self-talk, and positive reinforcement versus negative reinforcement [18:41] Why saying "stop flinching" programs failure — and what to say instead [21:17] The sniper school failure rate dropped to near zero — and what that taught him about his own kids [22:26] Why Brandon left the SEALs at his peak — and what the broken families around him told him about his own future [27:23] Consequences without the belt — wall squats, push ups, and eventually the iPhone [29:52] Owning your mistakes as a parent builds more credibility than never making them [33:05] What made him write a parenting book — his kids impressing people at Harvard Business School [34:19] Don't come home with a wallet full of money and a house full of strangers — the billionaire with three kids in addiction [37:01] The 12 to 15 fork in the road — why boys in that liminal space need a present, intentional dad [39:23] The seventh grade spiral — selling pot gummies, ordering Uber Eats to the principal's office, and what was really going on underneath [41:27] Ask why seven times — and the teacher who publicly humiliated his son and started the whole thing [43:42] Pull him out, take his side, change the environment — and the coach's email that said everything [44:33] His daughter's answer when he asked what he'd done differently — and why being the untouchable SEAL hero was actually a problem [48:42] Shoplifting, a Sonic parking lot, and the real reason his son did it — peer pressure and not knowing who his friends were [54:11] Kids open up in cars, on bikes, on walks — never face to face [54:41] One on one trips every year — and the two questions at dinner in New York that lasted two and a half hours [58:40] What his daughter said in Lisbon — and why creating a home they want to come back to is one of the most underrated parenting moves Five Key Takeaways Stop pointing out mistakes and start painting the picture of what to do instead. Telling a kid what not to do programs them for failure. Tell them where to put their attention — not what to avoid. Owning your mistakes as a parent isn't weakness — it's the most credible thing you can do. Your kids will model ownership and accountability because they watched you do it first. Boys between 12 and 15 are at a fork in the road. If they don't feel supported during that season, you can push them in a direction that takes years to correct. Get to the why before you drop the hammer. Being the untouchable hero in your kid's life can quietly teach them that failing isn't okay. Share your struggles. It gives them permission to have their own. The quality of your relationship with your kids depends on the quality of the questions you ask. "How was your day" is a dead end. Ask something real — and ask it in a car, on a walk, or somewhere that takes the pressure off.

Brandon Webb trained the most elite warriors in the world. He wrote twelve books. He sailed across the South Pacific at 16. And his daughter had to look him in the eye and tell him that his greatness made her feel like failure wasn't allowed. That's the lesson. Not the SEALs. Not the snipers. The puddle jumper — the kid who jumps in the mud because he hasn't been told yet that he shouldn't. Raise more of those. Go out and live legendary.

“What a Gift” Phils Clinch the NL East, Volpe vs. Caballero, Yesavage's Dream Debut, Eldridge's Call-Up, Skubal's Scare, D-backs Align, Brewers Toast Uecker, Soto's 40–30–100 | 104

Table Setters: A Baseball Podcast

Welcome to Episode 104 of Tablesetters. Devin and Steve are back to capture the drama, joy, and heartbreak of a September week that revealed everything we love and fear about baseball. In Los Angeles, the Phillies turned fatigue into fuel, clinching their second straight NL East crown in a game that began after a sleepless night of travel and ended in extra innings with Bryce Harper's fist-pumping eighth-inning home run and J.T. Realmuto's sacrifice fly. When the champagne popped, it wasn't just about celebration — it was about perspective. Garrett Stubbs made sure Harper could join the party with apple juice, and Harrison Bader's mantra rang through the room: “What a gift.” For a club that has known nothing but heartbreak since 2022, that phrase has become the soul of the team: gratitude, joy, and belief that this year can be different. Contrast that spirit with the Bronx, where Anthony Volpe has been grinding through a partially torn labrum since May, hitting just .197 with his defense slipping. Brian Cashman insists this is merely a “tough stretch,” but José Caballero's hot bat and steady glove have complicated the conversation. Caballero is hitting .314 since mid-August, and his emergence is forcing Aaron Boone to consider whether loyalty to Volpe is holding the team back. North of the border, the Blue Jays found a new reason to believe. Trey Yesavage, their top prospect, debuted with nine strikeouts in five innings, a franchise record, his splitter producing an absurd 11 whiffs on 14 swings. His 19 total whiffs put him in Kevin Gausman territory, and for a team already leading the AL East, his arrival feels less like the future and more like a weapon for right now. Toronto hasn't won a World Series since 1993, but Yesavage's debut makes that drought feel vulnerable. The Giants are also leaning into youth, promoting Bryce Eldridge, a 20-year-old, 6-foot-7 slugger ranked the No. 15 prospect in baseball. With 25 homers across Double-A and Triple-A and elite exit velocity numbers, Eldridge is being thrown straight into the fire of a Wild Card chase, where San Francisco sits just 1 ½ games back. With their first basemen producing a meager .614 OPS, Eldridge isn't just a curiosity — he's an immediate solution. In Detroit, fear gave way to relief when Tarik Skubal, the frontrunner for the AL Cy Young, exited his last start with side tightness. Initial panic subsided after imaging revealed no structural damage, and he's slated to pitch Thursday against Cleveland. His numbers speak to his dominance: 13–5, 2.26 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, 224 strikeouts in 185 innings. In a franchise that hasn't seen an ace like this since Hal Newhouser, Skubal is the difference between a quick October exit and a run that could echo through history. Out in Arizona, the Diamondbacks are embracing the stars — literally. Blaze Alexander's joke about undergoing a “horoscope” on his bruised elbow became a clubhouse rallying cry, and suddenly the D-backs are aligning at the right moment. Zac Gallen notched his 1,000th career strikeout, joining Randy Johnson and Brandon Webb, while a six-run sixth inning powered them to an 8–1 win over San Francisco. With Jordan Lawlar's RBI double, Geraldo Perdomo's five times on base, and James McCann's homer, Arizona is playing like a team that refuses to fade. In Milwaukee, the Brewers clinched their own ticket to October in a celebration filled with laughter and tenderness. After the fireworks and walk-off, manager Pat Murphy read aloud a letter he pretended came from the late Bob Uecker. Players laughed at the imagined line about being God's “third catcher,” but the tribute brought misty eyes too. Christian Yelich captured the moment perfectly: enjoy it, but don't forget — the job isn't done. And then there's Juan Soto, whose brilliance continues to collide with the Mets' collapse. His 40th home run put him in Barry Bonds and Jeff Bagwell's company with a 40–30–100 season, the first of its kind in Mets history. He is the ninth player to hit 40 for different teams in consecutive years, joining legends like Griffey, A-Rod, and Ohtani. Yet while Soto shines, the Mets stumble, 21–30 in the second half, their Wild Card lead slipping away. His season is a masterpiece, but without October, it may be remembered as a monument to wasted potential. From Philadelphia's “what a gift” mantra to Soto's historic swing in Queens, from rookies Yesavage and Eldridge redefining futures to Skubal and Gallen reminding us of aces past and present, Episode 104 is the story of September baseball. It's belief, heartbreak, and joy — colliding night after night as October looms.

Becoming fearless about reinventing yourself is a powerful tool in life. Multiple Time New York Best Selling authors Brandon Webb(@BrandonWebb) and John Mann(@JohnMann) share how real life meets fiction in their successful collaboration of the action-packed thriller series Blind Fear, Cold Fear, and Steal Fear. "Often times, as we learn, the story in our head is much worse than the actual activity." - Brandon Webb Key Takeaways: Mental Management: Training and focusing the mind is a daily practice that empowers the individual to concentrate in times of chaos, be aware of the intention behind actions, and stay in a positive and empowered mindset. The tools of mental management are visualization, positive self-talk, and reframing memory. Mentorship: Strong mentors can make all the difference when you stand at a crossroads, start your career, or make significant life changes. Mentors come in different ways. Also, if you have skills and time and want to be of service, becoming a mentor to someone is an excellent way of being sheepdog strong. Positive Partnerships: Fostering relationships for work or personal matters creates a more prosperous and happy life. Learning to collaborate with others means seeing what you are good at and what they are good at and then trusting one another to execute efficiently and effectively to get the job done. Education: Children are naturally curious and want to learn. Our school systems in the United States need a curriculum that includes critical thinking, exploration, and actual learning. Teaching our children to question and think freely is one of the greatest gifts we can give them.

John David Mann on the Essentials of Storytelling

Over the course of my life, I've had the incredible privilege of sitting at the feet of world-class teachers. When you spend time with someone who is truly a master of their subject, and they know how to teach and communicate it, you walk away a little bit taller because you've been in the presence of greatness. That's how I feel every time I get to talk with John David Mann—a master author and storyteller. John is the award-winning coauthor of over 30 books, including 9 New York Times and national bestsellers. His classic, The Go-Giver (written with Bob Burg), won the Living Now Book Award's Evergreen Medal for its “contribution to positive global change.” John's first novel, Steel Fear (written with Brandon Webb) was named one of the “best books of 2021” by Publishers Weekly. His new novel, Blind Fear, comes out next month, and his latest leadership parable, The Vagrant (written with Dan Rockwell), comes out in September. John also leads a training and coaching program called Writing Mastery Mentorship. You can find out more about John by visiting https://johndavidmann.com, as well as his series with Brandon Webb by visiting https://webbandmann.com. One more thing before we get to the interview: I am thrilled to be part of an author event for John at the Daniel Boone Branch of the St. Louis County Library on Wednesday, August 9 at 8pm, in partnership with Left Bank books. This is part of John's national book tour for Bind Fear. If you're in the St. Louis area, I invite you to come meet us in person and help support John's new book. In today's conversation, recorded a few weeks ago, John talks about a variety of topics related to storytelling, including his process for co-writing with different authors, how he handles transitions and chapter breaks in fiction, how he approaches thrillers and parables differently, and much more.
