In today's episode, Dr. Niobe Way- internationally recognized professor of developmental psychology and the founder of the Project for the Advancement of Our Common Humanity at NYU joins us for a conversation on boyhood, curiosity, and connection. We explore how boy culture is shaped by societal expectations and how we can redefine it for the better, and how to foster emotional growth and resilience in boys while challenging outdated norms. We also discuss how, in today’s world, raising kids with deep curiosity and connection is more important than ever, and how we can nurture meaningful relationships with our children and help them thrive in an increasingly disconnected world.

Is the drive for success pushing us and our kids too far? In today's episode we sit down with Jennifer Wallace, author of Never Enough: When Achievement Culture Becomes Toxic.

In today’s episode we sit down with Dr. Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General and father of two for a deep dive into the unprecedented challenges facing parents today.
