A Note from James: Today on the show, I have a very special guest and a good friend of mine, Brandon Webb. Brandon has been on the show many times before.

Welcome back to the show. Episode Description: James talks with former Navy SEAL, bestselling author, entrepreneur, and father of three Brandon Webb about parenting, co-parenting, discipline, confidence, failure, and what it actually takes to raise resilient kids. Brandon’s new book, Puddle Jumpers , is not a parenting book written from an ivory tower. It comes from lived…
