    Raising Tomorrow with Kepler Knott - EP 250
    Jan 16 2026
    Episode Summary: In this episode of The Cool Grandpa Podcast, I sit down with author, father, and former tech entrepreneur Kepler Knott to explore what it means to raise kids in an age of rapid change. Drawing from his book Raising Tomorrow: Talks to Prepare Our Kids for What Lies Ahead, Kepler shares why adaptation, resilience, and values matter more than ever—and how parents and grandparents can guide kids without hovering over them. Together, we discuss how to talk with kids (not at them) about meaning, work, money, technology, relationships, and values. The conversation highlights the unique and powerful role grandparents play in a child's life, offering wisdom, perspective, and unconditional support that kids often hear differently than from parents. This episode is a practical, thoughtful guide for fathers, grandfathers, mothers, and grandmothers who want to raise grounded, resilient kids while preparing them for a future none of us fully understands. Key Topics Covered: Why adaptation and resilience are essential life skills Helping kids develop values through modeling, not lectures The difference between happiness and contentment Technology, attention, and the battle for our kids' focus Teaching money as "stored energy" in a digital world Why boredom, independence, and responsibility still matter How grandparents uniquely influence grandchildren Turning everyday moments into meaningful conversations 🎯 Call to Action for Fathers Fathers: If you're navigating tough conversations about values, technology, work, or identity with your kids, Raising Tomorrow gives you a practical framework to prepare—not preach. Pick one chapter, read it alongside your child, and use it as a starting point for conversations that build trust, resilience, and independent thinking. 🎯 Call to Action for Grandfathers Grandfathers: Your role matters more than you may realize. Kids often hear wisdom differently from grandparents—without the pressure or tension of daily parenting. Raising Tomorrow is a powerful tool to help you guide your grandchildren with perspective, patience, and grace. Use it to reinforce values, spark meaningful talks, and support the parents you love.

  • Navigating Senior Living with Jeannie Duckworth EP - 249

    Navigating Senior Living with Jeannie Duckworth EP - 249
    Jan 9 2026
    Summary: Choosing senior living for a loved one can feel overwhelming, emotional, and deeply personal. In this episode of The Cool Grandpa Podcast, I sit down with Jeannie Duckworth, co-founder of Blue Magnolia Senior Living Advisors, to unpack what families really need to know when navigating senior care options. Jeannie shares her journey into senior living, shaped by years of hands-on experience inside communities and a deep passion for advocacy. She explains that Blue Magnolia Senior Living Advisors was built to serve families first—offering free, personalized guidance while helping seniors find safe, supportive environments where they can truly thrive. Together, we explore: How families know when "it's time" to consider senior living Common misconceptions about assisted living and memory care Why touring communities early can reduce stress and guilt The emotional side of transitions — for seniors and their families How the right environment can restore independence and dignity What grandparents and adult children should look for (and avoid) when choosing care This conversation is honest, practical, and deeply human — offering reassurance that no family has to navigate these decisions alone. Whether you're a grandparent planning ahead or a family member supporting aging parents, this episode provides clarity, comfort, and confidence. Key Takeaways: Jeannie has a deep passion for working with seniors, stemming from her childhood experiences. Long-term care insurance is essential for everyone, regardless of income level. Personalized care is crucial in the senior living referral process. Families often struggle with communication regarding senior care decisions. Home care can be more expensive than assisted living options. Planning for senior care should start early to avoid last-minute decisions. Seniors want to maintain their independence and engage in activities they love. Jeannie emphasizes the importance of finding a community that fits the individual needs of seniors. Blue Magnolia Senior Living Advisors prioritize seniors' well-being over profit, ensuring they receive the best care.
