This bonus episode of Insider Interviews: With Media & Marketing Pros came together super spontaneously at On Air Fest in Brooklyn, where podcasters, creators, and technologists gathered recently to talk about the future of audio and, no spoiler alert, the future of AI. After a keynote session that talked about living WITH machines by keeping humanity present I had to grab Baratunde Thurston and Terry Rice to keep talking about how creators, entrepreneurs, (and parents) are navigating exactly that. Both of these conversations landed on the same core idea as my previous episode with Jack Myers: The real differentiator won't be the machines—it'll be the humans using them. Baratunde Thurston, author, speaker, comedian, and “thought leader of interdependence,” has been thinking about this balance for years and created his podcast Life with Machines to really explore that. As he asks: How do we live well with technology, instead of just enduring it? Living Well with Tech per Baratunde He's experimenting with AI directly in his own creative process—even creating an AI character named “Blair” as a kind of co-producer on his show. But he's also clear that there's a line between assistance and authorship. #AI can help with research, feedback, or execution. But the deeper creative work, like ideas, voice, perspective, still needs to come from a human. “There's something slower and messier about crafting things yourself—but there's also a pride of creativity that I want to maintain.”  Baratunde, and not surprisingly after him Terry Rice, also raised an issue that's only going to become more important: authenticity. As generative AI content becomes harder to identify, the industry may need new ways to verify that a real person is behind what we're seeing, hearing, or reading. Some technologists are already exploring ideas like “proof of humanity.” But Baratunde's take was refreshingly simple: “I think the thing we're going to trust the most is this: I feel you. We're sharing the same air.” (He grabbed my arm to illustrate, saying “THIS is what matters.”) In other words, real-world presence and connection may become even more valuable in a digital ecosystem increasingly filled with synthetic content. My second conversation was with Terry Rice, entrepreneur, speaker, and host of The Signal, a podcast designed to help entrepreneurs cut through the noise and focus on practical strategies for growing their businesses. Terry uses AI in his own workflow, like generating prep guides before interviews (which I wish I had done for these spontaneous chats!) or organizing research. He also got so inspired by his kids that he built a way to help parents, with a way to build their own app for their kids! Trust me, you have to listen and hear what he did. But he made an important distinction: the value isn't letting AI do all the thinking. It's knowing what good looks like. “The real skill isn't producing every answer yourself—it's recognizing when something is good and when it isn't.” That was one of those lightbulb emoji comments. It’s also a mindset that he's already teaching his kids. In fact, his ten-year-old daughter summed it up in a way that might be the most useful rule for all of us navigating AI right now: “It's okay to fight with AI.” Out of the mouths of (this generation’s) babes. Question it. Push back. Refine the answer. Through lines? AI will absolutely change how content gets made and how businesses operate. But creativity, judgment, curiosity—and yes, a little humanity—are still very much part of the equation. And for now at least, that's something machines can't replicate. (But props to Chat GPT for helping me summarize some of this brilliance!)

The schools in Steubenville, Ohio, are doing something unusual—in fact, it's almost unheard of. In a country where nearly 40 percent of fourth graders struggle to read at even a basic level, Steubenville has succeeded in teaching virtually all of its students to read well. According to data from the Educational Opportunity Project at Stanford University, Steubenville has routinely scored in the top 10 percent or better of schools nationwide for third-grade reading, sometimes scoring as high as the top 1 percent.In study after study for decades, researchers have found that districts serving low-income families almost always have lower test scores than districts in more affluent places. Yet Steubenville bucks that trend.“It was astonishing to me how amazing that elementary school was,” said Karin Chenoweth, who wrote about Steubenville in her book How It's Being Done: Urgent Lessons From Unexpected Schools.This week on Reveal, reporter Emily Hanford shares the latest from the hit APM Reports podcast Sold a Story. We'll learn how Steubenville became a model of reading success—and how a new law in Ohio put it all at risk. This is an update of an episode that originally aired in April 2025.

One of the most effective ways to get our kids to look critically and Christianly through eyes of faith at their rapidly changing culture is to help them understand and apply the truths of God's Word. In fact, this ranks right up there as job number one as we take on our responsibility to nurture our children and teens in the faith. One particularly helpful practice is to sit together in church in order to listen to the Word of God preached in the sermon. The practice of taking notes is one we should both model and teach to our kids. Then, each and every week, use the drive home or a time together later in the day to ask a question or two of everyone in the family. Here are some basic questions to get you started. What's one new thing you learned about Jesus or God? What was the big idea that the pastor was communicating? Was there anything you didn't understand or found confusing? What does what we heard in the sermon mean for our lives? Do your kids a favor, and help them to listen, learn, and apply.

(Feb 18, 2026) There are some schools in the North Country that take their kids outside almost all day, in any weather. We meet a young teacher who says she's found her calling in a forest kindergarten in the Adirondacks. Also: Two North Country high school girls hockey teams are heading to the state frozen four tournament.

In this episode of Dad Talks, I dig into Philippians 2:3–4 and tackle a tough question. How do you teach your kids humility when you are still working on it yourself? I talk about calling out selfish behavior, guiding kids toward serving others, and why humility starts with a dad who is willing to admit when he blows it. If you want humble kids, it starts with a humble dad.

Gut instinct is only partially innate – it's also very much learned and developed over time. And it turns out to be a fundamental safety skill kids need to master. To do this, we need to shed the “stranger danger” approach of the 1980s, replacing it with the concept of “tricky people,” because it turns out that those who harm kids are often not strangers to them at all. This episode is all about helping kids recognize when someone makes them uncomfortable, how to set boundaries, and express difficult feelings in relationships.

Send a textConflict can either harden kids or grow them. We chose growth. We dig into the real moments families face—sibling spats, unfair playing time, heated classrooms, and comment-section pile-ons—and show how to turn each one into a brain-building rep. We start by naming our own defaults—fight, flight, or freeze—and then map what's actually happening in a child's brain when emotions spike, why logic fails in the heat of the moment, and how rhythm and regulation reopen the cortex for better choices.From there, we get practical. You'll hear how to avoid the most common parenting traps—rushing to fix, taking automatic sides, or praising “quiet” kids who are actually avoiding hard conversations. We break down I-statements that don't attack, perspective-taking questions that reduce blame, and simple role plays that help kids rehearse language before it counts. We also share why some children escalate and others retreat, how mislabels like “defiant” or “manipulative” hide real needs, and what tailored coaching looks like for each temperament.Sports and social media get their own time in the spotlight. We talk through staying composed from the stands, guiding kids to ask coaches for concrete feedback, and remembering that coachability matters as much as skill. Online, we outline safety-first boundaries, graduated access, and open-device checks that build trust and keep kids out of harm's way—while teaching them to recognize bait, avoid groupthink, and log off when a thread turns toxic. Finally, we model apologies that carry ownership without shame and explain how forgiveness can include strong boundaries. The result: young people who can regulate, speak clearly, make amends, and carry these habits into adulthood.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who's in the thick of big feelings, and leave a five-star review so more families can find these tools.Contact:podcasts@calfarley.org To Donate: https://secure.calfarley.org/site/Donation2?3358.donation=form1&df_id=3358&mfc_pref=TTo Apply:https://apply.workable.com/cal-farleys-boys-ranch/j/25E1226091/For More Information about Cal Farley's Boys Ranch:https://www.calfarley.org/Music:"Shine" -NewsboysCCS License No. 9402

Teenagers flipping houses? Bill Allen is teaching financial literacy and real estate investing to the next generation of entrepreneurs. In this episode of the Legacy Podcast, I sit down with Bill Allen to talk about building a $4M real estate business, navigating a $1.5M payroll when revenue went to zero, redefining what "scale" really means, and why he's now focused on helping kids build wealth through real estate instead of just leaving them an inheritance. We get into: - Scaling from 1 deal to 200+ deals per year - What COVID taught him about leadership and margins - Why "scale" can actually hurt your lifestyle - Teaching teenagers to flip houses - Legacy vs. leaving millions behind - The mindset that matters more than money Bill is the founder of Seven Figure Flipping and the creator of Teenage Tycoon and the TV show Kids Who Flip. He's built businesses in real estate, education, and media — and now he's helping the next generation think differently about money. If you're an entrepreneur, investor, or parent who wants to build real wealth and legacy, this one's for you.

SummaryIn this Coaches Roundtable Q&A, Chase and Chris answer real listener questions about food, training, mindset, and staying consistent.They start by talking about how easy it is to eat way more calories than you think, especially when eating fast food. A single meal can take up most of your daily calories without you even realizing it. This leads into a bigger conversation about awareness, tracking your food honestly, and why so many people feel like they barely eat but still struggle with fat loss.The guys also answer questions about training struggles, including why assisted pull ups feel harder set to set, what happens if you need surgery and have to stop lifting, and how quickly strength actually comes back. They explain muscle memory, recovery, and why taking time off does not erase years of progress.They dive into protein needs as you get older, why spreading protein across meals matters, and how strength training helps your body use protein better. They also cover mental roadblocks like knowing what to do but not doing it, and how systems, planning, and accountability make all the difference.They finish by answering what you should drink during workouts and keep it simple with practical advice you can actually use.Chapters(00:00) Welcome Back and Coaches Roundtable Intro(00:20) Fast Food Calories and Why Awareness Matters(04:50) Teaching Kids and Adults How to Make Better Food Choices(09:10) Assisted Pull Ups and Why Strength Drops Between Sets(11:53) Surgery, Time Off, and Losing Progress Fear(16:11) Muscle Memory and Bouncing Back Faster Than You Think(16:20) Protein Needs as You Age and Anabolic Resistance(20:06) Mental Hurdles, Consistency, and Building Better Systems(26:00) What Should You Drink During Your Workout(30:23) Final Thoughts and How to Submit QuestionsSUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS to be answered on the show: https://forms.gle/B6bpTBDYnDcbUkeD7How to Connect with Us:Chase's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changing_chase/Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conquer_fitness2021/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/665770984678334/Interested in 1:1 Coaching: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/1on1-coachingJoin The Fit Fam Collective: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/fit-fam-collective

It is not enough to see our kids come to Jesus. Rather, our goal should be to lead them into walking with Jesus, both now and for the rest of their lives. Some three hundred and seventy five years ago, the Puritan pastor Jeremiah Burroughs wrote about what it means to walk with God. He wrote, "Walking with God is when we make God's will the rule of our will. The soul does what God does. What's the way of God but the way of holiness and righteousness, when the soul makes the will of God to be its own rule? I will not act on my own will. I will not act on anything but the will of God. What is it that God wills? Then I will the same thing. The soul walks the way God walks when it suits itself with God, when it sets the Lord as an example before it. This is to walk with God: to do as God does, to imitate God." Parents, God has willed that you be the one to nurture your children in the faith. You do so through your words and your actions. And there's not substitute for the example of your walk with God.

One of the most powerful (and often unspoken) ways we shape our kids' relationship with money is through our own financial values and beliefs. The way we talk about money, how we feel about money and the habits we build around money ultimately become inherited by our children.In this solo episode, I reflect on the big hand we play as parents in creating our kids' money stories. I also explore what it looks like to model healthier financial skills with intention, clarity, and compassion—and why this work is as much a gift to ourselves as it is to the next generation.Modeling Healthy Money Skills for the Next GenerationOur kids look to us for guidance. They're always watching us, listening to us and absorbing everything we say and do, and it's no different when it comes to money. We're the ones teaching them and planting those seeds—whether we mean to be or not.The way we talk about money, react to stress, or make everyday decisions becomes the foundation of their financial narrative, shaping what they believe is normal, possible, or scary. That's why it's really important to stop and think about what we want to be modeling to our kids about money.Start by getting clear on your own values around money, including:What you want your kids to emotionally associate with money (stress, confidence, neutrality, joy).The beliefs you want to model around responsibility, self-sufficiency, generosity, and justice.When you become more intentional with both your beliefs and your emotions, you create space for open conversations, skill-building, and confidence—helping your children develop a relationship with money that feels grounded, empowered, and aligned with the life you want for them.Raising Money-Aware Kids in an Intentional WayLook for moments where everyday language and emotional reactions become powerful teaching tools. You'll notice how small shifts in awareness can transform money from a source of stress or silence into something you and your kids can talk about with honesty, clarity, and care.(00:06:45) Modeling Healthy Money Habits(00:08:01) Teaching Kids to Talk About Money(00:11:16) Navigating Emotional Reactions Around FinancesBuilding a Healthier Money Story at HomeYour words, reactions, and everyday habits quietly shape the money stories your kids carry into adulthood. By getting honest with your own values around money, you can model what you actually want to pass on to them, instead of defaulting to inherited beliefs or unconscious patterns. You'll also start to notice how emotional responses like stress, avoidance, or openness become powerful teachers, often more impactful than any formal lesson.This creates space to rethink money as a tool and a form of power that can be used responsibly and in alignment with your values. Ultimately, it's about giving your kids practical skills, emotional confidence, and a healthier relationship with money than many of us were ever taught.Ready to Improve your Business Money Skills?Are you a Solo Private Practice Owner?

Hey friends,Let's be honest, talking about money with our kids can feel a little awkward.

He's a dad of four, a professor, and the author of Teach a Kid to Save. Stephen brings a gentle, practical approach to money conversations that is full of wisdom and grace.

Now that the millions of pages of the Epstein files have been released, what have we really learned. No one will be held accountable or at least that's what we have been taught to believe.

Tips for going out to teach kids in their homes!

Some lessons don’t land the first time. Or the tenth. But then—something shifts. In this episode, Justin shares a surprising win from “explicit teaching” with his kids, and Kylie opens up about kinesiology, therapy, and why the evidence doesn’t always tell the whole story. This one hits deep for any parent who’s trying to raise values-led kids while staying connected through the teenage years. KEY POINTS Why teens need us in the details of their lives — even when they push back The power of a safe third party in tough conversations (psychology vs. kinesiology) How “explicit teaching” actually works in real families (the media/music example) When values stick — and why discussion beats lecturing every time The shift from compliance → identification → integration when kids choose their values QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “We don’t tell them what they have to do — we share principles, ask what they think, and keep the conversation going.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Misconnection: Why Your Teenage Daughter Hates You, Expects the World, and Needs to Talk (Justin Coulson PhD) ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Create safe third-party spaces. This could be a psychologist, mentor, aunt, uncle, or trusted adult — not always paid. Use explicit teaching sparingly — but consistently. Small conversations over time beat one big lecture. Ask values-based questions. Try: “What do you think this message does to you?” Let them wrestle. Real learning happens in the tension — not in compliance. Keep reflecting, don’t direct. Facilitate decisions instead of making them for your kids. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

From sale promotion to show-ring preparation, the team is involved every step of the way. The result? Quality cattle, confident students, and a tradition of excellence that continues to raise the bar for the next generation of agricultural leaders.

What do you do when your kids constantly ask for sugar, and you don't want to swing between indulgence and restriction? In this episode, Elizabeth Urbanowicz shares a simple, biblical framework to help parents guide children when good things begin to take too important a place.

Words shape how our children think. In this episode, we explore how to biblically teach kids to think carefully about words—using basketball, baseball, and everyday language to help them discern meaning, truth, and cultural distortion through a biblical worldview.

Welcome to Season 8! This whole season we'll be talking about how to teach our kids to eventually take care of themselves on their way to becoming self-reliant, responsible adults. This episode will help you take the first step: evaluating what your kids are already taking charge of and where they have room to grow.    I introduce you to the system I've been using with my own kids for years, and show you how you can use it to help your kids progress from helpers to workers to managers. Then I talk to my son and some of my nephews about what they learned from their own self-evaluations.    You can download the Self Reliance Checklist here and follow along with your own kids! And join me any Tuesday at 1:00-2:00 PM mountain time for my weekly open lab hour, where we can brainstorm and problem-solve any of your parenting and home management experiments.

Middle schoolers can be argumentative. And it can drive parents crazy. But they are blossoming into young adults who will need to communicate and sometimes argue ideas in the real world soon enough. How do we equip them with the tools to not only think through their own beliefs, but to critically process new ideas, and sift through arguments to find and promote TRUTH above all?Enter the LOGIC phase of classical Christian education - the middle segment of our three-pronged Trivium. Right in the center of their education, students train their minds to know how to spot and construct sound, valid arguments and reason well, so that they can apply the facts they've learned and live as someone who listens and speaks well.In this episode, we'll hear from our two Logic teachers at Veritas Academy - Stephen Darrenkamp (who also teaches Latin) and Adam Timmins (who also teaches Omnibus and Apologetics). You'll listen in on a discussion covering:The role of logic in a student's educationThe integration with faith and reasonHow logic prepares students for rhetoric and effective communicationPractical advice for parents of argumentative middle schoolersThe broader implications of logic on students' understanding of faith, culture, and morality.

What does it really mean for a child to be "successful"? In this episode of Facing the Dark, Dr. Kathy Koch and Wayne Stender explore research on sibling success and unpack why optimism, motivation, learning, coaching, and, most importantly, wisdom and resilience shape kids for long-term flourishing. Together, they challenge achievement-based definitions of success and offer a Christ-centered vision that emphasizes character, growth, and learning how to apply truth in everyday life

Should parents teach kids to be defiant? In this Facing the Dark episode, Wayne and Dr. Kathy respond to a growing cultural narrative that suggests children need to practice defiance in order to become confident, assertive adults. Together they unpack the difference between healthy self-advocacy and arrogant rebellion, explaining why confidence doesn't come from saying "no" loudly, but from knowing when and how to speak with wisdom. Drawing on biblical insight, the Five Core Needs, and real parenting examples, this conversation helps parents guide kids toward courage, discernment, and self-efficacy rooted in truth, not impulse.
