Episode 267 - Attn Parents: Jon Acuff on How to Encourage Your Teens to Pursue Goals!

The Conversation with Adam Weber

A little over a year ago, I bought the book All It Takes Is a Goal by Jon Acuff and haven’t been the same since. Life altering for me (and I don’t say this lightly!) What about the goals your teenager might have? Is there a way to help them pursue their goals? This is what Jon & I discuss on today’s episode. I invited my teenage son, Hudson, to join me for this conversation. And it was a PRICELESS masterclass for both Hudson and me, as Hudson’s dad, to hear. If you have a son or daughter, it’ll be helpful for you too. Jon talks about specific things you can do to help your teen pursue a goal and also shares some specific things NOT to do. Even though this conversation is geared towards teens, adults (with or without) can apply Jon’s positive and practical tips to their lives and goals!
