Summary

This is one of our most foundational and transparent episodes. We took the 7 things that have transformed the heart of our family the last number of years and expounded on each of them in a detailed way to help you understand the “why” behind these decisions and how they can change the direction of your family.

We certainly don’t expect you to implement all 7 of them today, as this is a yearslong journey. However, find the one that most resonates with you right now. Which of these will most move the needle in your family if you were to implement it today? The only way to bring the heart of your family alive is to take permission and choose to lead differently from what our individualistic and rat-racing culture imposes on you.

0:11.5	Continuous partial attention.
0:14.5	And so what happens is it actually inhibits the pleasure center of our child's brain when they're going,
0:20.1	Mommy, Daddy, watch this, watch this, watch this. And we are on our's brain when they're going, mommy, daddy, watch this,
0:21.7	watch this, watch this. And we are on our bones. And they're not getting our full 100% attention.

1:16.8	Happy New Year to you and happy 2025.
1:21.1	It actually feels like space age to me.
1:23.9	That's going to take me a little while to get used to.
1:26.0	You know, I used to think of it.
1:27.2	Yeah, like 2025, what's that going to be like?
1:28.8	And then here we are.
1:29.4	And it's like, oh, we're here.
