Charlie welcomes California Teacher of the Year, Jeremy Adams, and author of the new book, "Hollowed Out: A Warning About America's Next Generation" for a deep dive into what is going wrong with the current generation of American youth. Adams, who started teaching in 1998 and continues to teach to this day, explains that something dramatic shifted right around 2010. Adams explains that the quality of the students and their ability to socialize, focus, and care about their education dropped of a cliff, and Adams has some very insightful explanations why. What is a digital hermit? And how do you keep your child from becoming one? In a truly important discussion, Charlie and Jeremy analyze the generational breakdown inflicting America's youth.
