I’ve discovered something crucial: parenting isn’t just harder because we’re doing it wrong. It’s harder because the entire landscape of raising children has fundamentally shifted.

As a father who proudly wears his geek credentials on his sleeve, I’ve always believed that sharing our passions with our children is one of the greatest gifts we can give them.

It’s about navigating a landscape that didn’t exist when we were kids, with tools that are evolving faster than research can keep up, and making decisions that feel impossible to get right.

Today’s young athletes aren’t just playing sports—they’re navigating a complex landscape of expectations, social media scrutiny, and competitive pressure that previous generations never experienced.

I’ve learned something crucial: entrepreneurship isn’t just about making money. It’s about developing a mindset that will serve our children for life, regardless of what career path they choose.

In 2026, active shooter drills are as common in American schools as recess and homework. And while the intention is to keep our kids safe, the unintended consequence may be traumatizing an entire generation.
