Description
Making your own way, seizing the day, putting yourself out there. Describe it however you like, but Peter Jude Ricciardi is here to tell you that if you put in the effort, step out of your comfort zone, and don't be afraid to "fake it 'til you make it," you can achieve great things. The best part? Your kids are observing and learning from your work ethic!In episode 6, we discuss the merits of talking to our kids about pursuing their passions. Adam confesses his dream of once wanting to become a game show host (despite his aversion to being in front of a camera). Marc remembers he once wanted to be a cartoonist (despite his poor drawing skills). Spoiler alert: neither of those careers panned out. During the interview with Peter Jude Ricciardi, we learn that taking chances can yield excellent results and that sometimes you have to fake it 'til you make it — and that's okay. Other things we discuss include:• How we talk to our kids about their future• Instilling confidence in our kids• Encouraging creativity• Discovering what makes us passionate• The value of hard work• Failure to do anything on time anymore• Explaining personal responsibility to a 6 year old("YOU need to realize you have to go pee before we leave the house!")• Our kids are watching us and learning from us all the timeLastly, Marc takes yet another stab at saying "thank you" to the listeners — and you get to decide whether it's a success or failure.
