In this episode, I go off on one of the most dangerous lies we feed our kids — and ourselves.

It all started when my 12-year-old son, Harry, came home from school and told me a “career advisor” stood up in front of his class and declared:

“The decisions you make in middle school will affect the rest of your life.”

Seriously? At 12? While he’s still playing Minecraft and watching YouTube?

So, I did what any rational father would do: I unleashed a proper rant. And now, I’m sharing it with you — because it’s not just about kids. It’s about how YOU were conditioned as a child to be afraid of making mistakes… and how that’s likely still affecting your decision-making as a clinic owner today.

This one’s not just a parenting rant — it’s a wake-up call to every clinic owner still looking for permission to build the business they actually want.

Turn it up. Take notes. And then go have a real conversation with your kid. Or your younger self.
