We can't change that fact now. What happens when we crank up the expectations for our kids?\nWhat Matt has to say about that will blow your mind too.\nLINKS\nFollow Matt on Instagram and Twitter\nActon Placer\nApogee Training\nEssential 11 Podcast on iTunes and Spotify\n\"Captain Fantastic\" Trailer\nJohn Taylor Gatto\n\"Simply Christian\" by NT Wright\nSPONSOR\nI've partnered with Derek Arellano of Volition Training to create a new fitness transformation program exclusively for Renaissance of Men Listeners:\nVolition Renaissance\nhttp://volitiontraining.com/renofmen\nIt's a 12-week, all-encompassing program to create your physical rebirth, from two men passionate about masculine personal development, and physical prowess.\nIt includes not just technological support, customization, and weekly check-ins, but a direct line to former Top-10 US Bodybuilder Derek Arellano.\nVisit: https://volitiontraining.com/renofmen to learn more, and sign up today.\nTHE RENAISSANCE OF MEN\nCheck out my website at https://renofmen.com\nConnect with us on Instagram and Twitter.","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/077d5416-18ed-4332-a23d-bbdca2b970df/j_NeNa4rnItxJ1OYds7sRGv3.jpg"}
