Motivational Monday - ft. Ej, What Matters Most To Young Voters!

In this episode, I’m sitting down with my son EJ, also known as “The Chosen Child,” to talk about something that’s both powerful and necessary: voting. This isn’t just any conversation—it’s about why young people, especially, need to step up and make their voices heard. I’ve always believed that voting is one of the most impactful things we can do to shape our future, and it’s a right we should never take for granted.  We dive deep into the mindset of young voters, exploring why some feel disconnected from the political process and what we can do to change that. EJ brings that raw, unfiltered perspective that only our youth can provide, sharing real conversations he's had with his peers about voting and civic engagement. We tackle everything from student loan debt to police reform, breaking down why these issues matter to the younger generation. What makes this episode special is the honest father-son dynamic we bring to the conversation. We don't just talk about what's happening in politics – we discuss how families can bridge the generation gap and have meaningful discussions about civic responsibility. EJ opens up about his journey from being a first-time voter to becoming an advocate among his friends. I'm especially proud of how we address the misconceptions many young people have about voting and the impact their voice can make. We talk about the declining influence of celebrity endorsements and why personal research and understanding are more important than ever. EJ shares some powerful insights about what actually motivates his generation to get involved in the political process.
