Happy 250th America!  On this episode, we thought we would celebrate our nation’s birthday by talking about the one thing more American than apple pie, dads, families and kids playing sports!  Our guest is a dad, coach and author with a philosophy on Parenting that centers on grit and resilience.  Stephen Clifford’s series of children’s books teach lessons designed to instill values and character in children using cool techniques like alter egos, fun badges and the idea that fear is a choice.
