• The 6 Pillars Of Self-Esteem, specifically the Practice of Self-Responsibility.
• Why letting kids fail (in this case get hurt, or maybe even injured) is central and pivotal to the development of adults, and why bypassing this responsibility will create nothing but older children who are unable to manage the stress of adulthood.
• Why it's important to remember that the flip side of risk is reward and every time we limit what our children can (or should be able to do) we are in fact limiting a potential reward they could be experiencing. Is it worth it?

Back to school, back to routine, back to being busy.

Back to school is my favorite time of year. It reminds me of fall, football, warm and cozy sweaters...all of which make this my favorite season.

Unfortunately, it leads to winter which is not awesome in this part of the world, but I guess that all comes with the territory.

What also tends to follow the change of seasons is the onslaught of cold and flu season. Sound about right?

But what if it didn't have to be that way?

What if there was a chance, just maybe, that we're looking at this whole germ thing the wrong way?

I mean seriously thinking about it... I bet you that you know someone who is never sick. So it begs the question, how did they get that way, what can we learn from them and, can we duplicate the results?

The purpose of this episode is to help you create a plan of action that will create a stronger, better immune system for your child and keep them from being sick on a more consistent basis.

What we covered:

• Why germs are not the cause of your child's sickness (flu, cold or otherwise) or illness and the real underlying reason your kid gets sick. I know this sounds shocking, but it's honestly a game changer if you can apply it and make it real for your family.
• What the most controllable factor is in keeping your children healthy and as sickness free as possible as they groove their way into the new school year.
• The importance of the nerve system in fighting off infection. This is the most overlooked area of health for most families.
• 4 other vital steps to include to keeping your child healthy.

• What, in our opinion, is the purpose of parenting and what we really dislike about today's parenting trends. There are just some trends these days that are wrong and we need to talk about them.
• Why the long game is far more important than the short game, yet it seems like most parents are concerned with short term success over the long term gain.
• Why self-esteem and creating a winning inner state is really where long term success is at and how we think you can do that.

• It's easy to sense the political injustice in the world; which is a fair assessment. However, more challenging and ALMOST completely ignored - is the philosophical roots of politics, namely metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. No this is not a political podcast, and we won't spend much time on the topic, but we guarantee that if you can get morality right - politics will follow suit.
• Why it's OK (good in fact) to value yourself first. No, this doesn't make you a jerk, or hateful of other people, in fact, it's the only way to properly establish the right foundation for human flourishing.
• How to begin to value yourself more and what that will make your life look like. Trust us - you'll love it.
