EP. 83 Be the Leader They Need
The blueprint you create today becomes the foundation your children build upon tomorrow. Are you modeling the strength, faith, and discipline you hope to see in them?
Jake Fine and Braxston Cave dive deep into the profound responsibility of family leadership, revealing how your daily actions speak volumes more than your words ever could. Your children aren't just hearing your advice—they're observing how you treat your spouse, manage stress, prioritize time, and handle both successes and failures. This observation becomes their definition of adulthood and their expectation of what relationships should look like.
We explore the danger of outsourcing parental influence to technology and social media, and why genuine presence matters more than productivity or perfection. Braxston shares personal stories about his family's dinner table traditions, discipline approaches that focus on meaningful eye contact, and the sobering realization that children notice when you're not fully engaged. The conversation includes practical wisdom about setting standards that you yourself live up to, creating intentional family moments, and understanding that your legacy isn't measured by what you leave FOR your children, but what you build IN them.
Whether you're a parent, guardian, or someone who influences young lives, this episode will challenge you to examine whether you're creating a life worthy of being copied. Because one day, your children will tell stories about how you raised them—what story are you writing today? Listen, reflect, and commit to being the leader your family needs.
