Kids don’t hide things because they’re bad. They hide things because we haven’t created an environment where truth feels safe.

Kids don’t hide things because they’re bad — they hide things because they’re human.

In this episode, Ed breaks down why kids struggle to tell the truth, how our reactions shape their honesty, and what it means to create a “truth‑safe” culture at home and at work. This one hits every parent and every leader.

“Truth doesn’t grow in fear. It grows in safety. And the environment you create — at home and at work — determines whether people hide or open up.”

Ed Franklin Podcaster

I am an almost 61-year-old Sales, Sales Manager, and Leader in my community in San Diego, CA. I started my podcast to help younger people navigate life since I have had hurdles like everyone else, but I tend to get a large variety of ages listening, even boomers! I have 8 children and soon to have a total of 19 grandchildren. Like many boomers I have been through the ringer when it comes to life and have many life experiences that could benefit anyone at any age. I choose to be a positive person, although it can be tough with our country's leadership over the last 20 years.
