Ben said…  #1 – Be respectful  #2 – Stand up for what you believe in  I agree. Fully.   As a father, I’m often asking myself… Am I standing strong for my family right now, and for future generations?  What would it look like to act with courage and speak up when I feel called to express my heart?  How might I lead powerfully when engaging in controversial topics?  What SHOULD we be talking about with our kids when it comes to seemingly divisive global subjects?  For this interview, we committed to having a meaningful conversation, being honest, and talking about important issues.  During my time with Ben Pakulski, we discussed the following:   How much do you "strong arm" your kids vs giving them the power? The only way to help your kids stand up for what they believe in. The best way to encourage open dialogue and healthy conversations. How to teach your kids to consider opposing views and think critically. The Warrior VS Monk mentality  Understanding the importance of being present inside your body.
