Raising Kids You’re Proud Of (Even When You Loathe the Job)

With Scott and Thatcher Miller

In this special episode of The Best You Podcast, Nick sits down with longtime mentor and friend Scott Miller and his 15-year-old son Thatcher for a refreshingly honest conversation about parenting. Scott and Thatcher have just released a book sharing 30 raw insights into his experiences as a father—complete with mistakes, missteps, and meaningful lessons. At the end of each chapter, Thatcher shares his own candid thoughts, giving us a rare glimpse into how parenting choices feel from the child’s perspective.

If you’re a parent in the thick of it, this episode and book is for you. If you’re a soon to be parent and want to get a jumpstart on some best practices, then tune in. Or if your kids have grown up and you want to learn how to transition to more of a friend to them, then tune in, too. This conversation is equal parts heartwarming, humorous, and profoundly insightful.

What You’ll Learn:

● What it’s been like for Scott and Thatcher to write this book together

● How to find the balance of “controlling” vs. “responsible boundaries” as a parent

● How to raise respectful kids (even when it’s hard)

● How to raise gentlemen in an increasingly ungentlemanlike world

● Tools and exercises you can do with your own family like “tech-free Sunday,” how to come up with core values as a family

● How to teach your kids financial responsibility
