Episode Description
It is basic human nature to want to have our children outlive us. As parents we nurture and raise our children to lead happy, healthy lives. Interwoven with normal human nature is the young people’s desire to be free and experiment with their newfound freedom. Testing the limits of one’s freedom is healthy as long as it does not put at risk the lives of self and others. Driving is one of those “right of passage” events that can prove challenging. When we teach our teenagers to drive as part of giving them life skills, are we also teaching them a healthy respect for the responsibility that comes with being behind the wheel? Are we teaching them how lives can change in the blink of an eye? Are we teaching them how precious each one of them are to us and how much we value their wellbeing? Are we teaching them that fun cannot come at the expense of safety? James Dean famously said “Take it easy driving. The life you save may be mine”. Are we being safe?
Unleash Your Inner Goldilocks: How to Get It Just Right

Our show is about understanding that each person’s passion, life experiences and journey towards realizing their economic prosperity are unique. That unique journey cannot be made without self-empowerment and fellow travelers to enable success. The show explores how every human interaction has the potential for transforming all those who are engaged, seek to empower audiences by helping them find the path towards their pinnacle, and share experiences of others to help draw insight to help audiences shape their own path. While the individual journey is unique, none of us realize our vision of prosperity alone. The importance of a shared journey, need to understand self-interest holistically, sharing the burden, reaching the top by pulling others up, and seeing the collective strength because of our diversity are a part of the show’s dialogue. Keeping the soul at peace and embracing happiness, to see what is just right, is critical to unleash your inner power.
