116.How to Launch Your Young Adult with Minetta Minor | Road of Life Podcast

Bridge the Transition from "Student" to "Professional" (Without the Family Drama)

Do you have a brilliant young adult at home who is a rockstar on paper but totally stuck on how to actually start their life? Are you ready to reclaim your "empty nest" but feel like you're stuck in a loop of "Joey" moments and misunderstanding?

Meet Minetta Minor.

Minetta is the founder and CEO of Guiding Future Success, and she has spent over 30 years mastering the art of recruiting and leadership. She noticed a massive gap: students are working so hard to get the grades that they often forget to build a strategy for the "real world." As marriedpreneurs, we know that when your kids are struggling to launch, that stress doesn't stay in their bedroom it follows you into your marriage and your business.

In this episode, Minetta shares how she acts as the "middleman" to help young adults find fulfillment and professional confidence, so parents can stop being the "bad guy" and start being the supporters. We talk about the power of curiosity, why you should always say "yes" to growth, and how to stay a lifelong learner.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The "Strategic Gap": Why a high GPA doesn't automatically equal a job offer and how to bridge the gap between graduation and a career with intentionality.

• The Power of "Why Not?": Minetta’s journey from a 17-year-old intern to leading a global team of 75 by leaning into curiosity instead of fear.

• Mediating the "Joey" Conflict: How Minetta acts as a neutral third party to translate between parents who want their kids launched and young adults who feel overwhelmed.

• Real-Time Coaching: Why she literally walks the floor of job fairs with her clients to role-play and tweak their approach in the moment—the ultimate "boots on the ground" support.

• The BHAG for 2026: Minetta speaks her "Big, Hairy, Audacious Goal" into existence a one-stop-shop community for young professionals to handle everything from careers to mental health and finances.

If you’re ready to help your young adult find their path (and get your house back in the process), this conversation is dropping serious gold.
