Telling stories is the best way I know to motivate and inspire young people. That’s why our book is full of stories. Because it’s one thing to tell you to do hard things and rebel against low expectations… It’s another to SHOW you what that can look like.

We’re working on a book and an online class called Raising Kids to Do Hard Things. People have been asking for this for a long time — and I think it will be a huge blessings to both parents and teens...
