Daddy Daughter Podcast - Asking My Adult Kid on How I Screwed Her Up

On this episode of The Teevee Show Podcast, I am joined by my eldest daughter as we discuss her journey to success in the marketing industry without attending college. As we chat, we delve into our shared belief of raising children to be strong, independent thinkers that are not afraid to speak their minds. We talk about how respectful communication can build strong relationships, and the value of experiences over material objects. We also share our opinion on the benefits of debating and arguing using facts and sources to gain different perspectives; because it often leads us to acknowledge when we may be wrong or at least gain a better understanding of someone else's point of view. We also touch on navigating relationships in the workplace and the challenges that come with transitioning to adulthood.

“I Will Die For My Children But Don’t Ask Me to Take Care of My Health”

“I Will Die For My Children But Don’t Ask Me to Take Care of My Health”

Both of our immigrant fathers had strokes. My father is disabled and a shell of the man he once was. Charles father died shortly after his stroke. The motivation behind this conversation wasn't one of "happy, happy, joy, joy," but instead, it tackles an issue that plagues many men in immigrant families. This episode is a heavy one. I always find it fascinating to hear how many fathers will say they would die for their children, but many of those same dads struggle to live for them. It's a deep t...

Unleashing My Inner Artist: The Story of How I Ditched College, Failed as a Full-Time

Art has been a passion for me since I was a wee lad. I was certain that I would be an artist as a career. I was so committed that I chose not to go to college with the anticipation of becoming this fully paid artist. Foolish, I know. But worse yet, this was before the internet was a thing. Becoming a paid artist today is much easier. Not easy, but easier. Life happened and I set aside my childish artistic desires- for the most part. But then a couple of years ago while rediscovering Twitter and ...

Writing Her Way to Success: Conversation With Sue Anderson

Sue Anderson first came into my world in 2009. She was asked to interview me so I could share my story on the success of our first online business. I was so nervous leading up to that conversation.

We immediately bonded and became good friends. 14 years later it was my turn to interview her for my world-famous podcast. We talk about all things parenting, entrepreneurship, and even how to be a better partner in a r...

What Would Daddy Do? | Turning My Kids Into Stoics

I raised my daughters to develop programs. And by "programs," I mean skills and values that I knew would help them become their best selves in the future. The concept of stoicism is one of them. I like to call it the concept of keeping one’s cool because, essentially, that's what it is. Watch today’s video where I share how I became a stoic and how I ended up turning my kids into one as well. - - - - - - - - - - - - The Obstacle is the Way - Amazon link: https://www.amazon.com/Ryan-Holiday-Obsta...

A Petty Dad’s Confession: Why I’m Proud of My Smart-ass Kids

I raised my daughters to think on their own. To understand that they are free to express their thoughts. And I’m really proud of that. With respect in mind, doing so does not make them smart-asses. We, as grown adults, should see this, too. Won't you agree? In this video, I talk about why having healthy discussions with our kids is important. - Follow us on all channel Website: https://teevee.mx Podcast: https://teevee.fm Also Visit: smartasskids.com

Dad Interviews His Teenage Daughter (Dad Jokes Included)

The other one has flown away. After years of sharing from my perspective- it was time to hear them speak. Listen to today's episode and hear my baby gir...
