Episode 390: Lee Trink: Are We Raising a Generation That Can’t Handle Real Life? Discover What’s Holding Them Back

Are today’s kids being set up for success, or are we making them too "soft" to handle real challenges? In a world full of participation trophies, helicopter parenting, and an overprotective culture, the question arises: are we failing to prepare the next generation to face adversity? In this episode, I sit down with Lee Trink to discuss whether today’s parenting methods are doing more harm than good. We dive into why resilience is critical for success and how kids might be missing out on crucial life skills. Are we over-sheltering them, and what can we do to fix it? You won’t want to miss this eye-opening conversation. Lee Trink, former CEO of FaZe Clan, is a Gen Z expert and leader who has worked extensively with young talent, helping them succeed in high-pressure environments. With his experience, he brings valuable insights on how we can teach kids to be resilient in a world that's becoming increasingly soft.
