By Gary and Shannon
June 7, 2026
Gary & Shannon Overtime (06.06) – Gary and Shannon explore what it means to raise capable, independent kids in a world increasingly filled with screens, supervision, and distractions. The conversation starts with a hilarious story involving a dog, a swimming pool, and a very questionable decision before shifting into a discussion about parenting, responsibility, and why some cultures seem to produce more self-sufficient children than others. They discuss teaching kids life skills, managing screen time, setting boundaries, and the importance of giving children enough freedom to learn from mistakes. Plus, the challenges of raising wealthy children, preparing the next generation for adulthood, and why autonomy may be one of the most valuable gifts a parent can provide.
