#1286- What Do You Want Your Kids to Say About You? W/ Kirsten Mark

Author: Brian Mark April 21, 2025 Duration: 18:49

Your kids are watching everything: are you someone they'll want to be like? 👀


In this episode, Kirsten and I dive deep into the reality that your children are watching, learning, and internalizing everything you do – not just what you say. We share a powerful story about one of the teens from our Young and Ambitious mentorship program who's already built a $10,000/month business because he had the right examples to follow.


The truth is, as parents, we're either becoming someone our kids want to emulate or someone they'll rebel against. If you're self-sacrificing to the point of losing your health, happiness, and identity, what message are you really sending? Too many parents are passing down generational traumas and limiting beliefs without ever taking responsibility for their own healing.


Whether you have kids now or plan to in the future, this conversation will challenge you to look at parenting from a completely different angle. It's not about being perfect - it's about being someone your child can look up to instead of searching for heroes elsewhere.


Top Quotes:


"Do I want my kid to look up to someone else, or do I want my kid to look up to me? Do I want my kid to look at men on TV and be like, 'Wow, I wish I could be like him,' or do I want my kid to look up to me and be like, 'My dad's a superhero'?" (07:09)


"You cannot express something you do not possess. And I think a lot of people, because you never fully deal with your own shit, because you're still blaming your past, you end up trying to pass down those habits, those character traits, those beliefs to the next generation." (10:33)


"We don't see the world as it is. We see the world as we are. If you find parenting incredibly hard, you feel overworked, you feel overwhelmed, you wake up in the morning with instant anxiety and stress about the day ahead, when you walk into the world, what are you gonna get? You're gonna get more anxiety, you're gonna get more stress." (08:48)
