1KHO 877: Raise Kids Who Don't Crack Under Pressure | Brandon Webb, Puddle Jumpers

Brandon Webb knows what it takes to perform under extreme pressure. As a combat-decorated Navy SEAL sniper instructor, entrepreneur, and bestselling author, he's spent a lifetime studying resilience. But in this conversation, he explains why the greatest test of leadership isn't on the battlefield—it's at home. Drawing from his new book Puddle Jumpers, Brandon shares the practical parenting principles that helped him raise independent, confident, and emotionally resilient children. He and Ginny explore why kids need opportunities to fail, how small acts of independence build lifelong confidence, the surprising power of visualization and positive psychology, and why parents should prepare children for the world instead of trying to protect them from it. They also discuss the importance of mentors, creating a home your adult children want to return to, choosing family over career, and how sharing your own failures can become one of the greatest gifts you give your kids. Whether you're raising toddlers, teenagers, or launching young adults into the world, this conversation is packed with memorable stories and practical wisdom for building resilient families in an increasingly fragile culture.
