Join host Jeff Ling and Dr. Bob Petterson, founder of Legacy Imperative, as they delve into the challenges and responsibilities of guiding the youngest members of society through the complexities of the digital world. With 40 million digital-native Alpha kids in the U.S., the influence of social media is unprecedented, often eclipsing traditional sources of learning like schools, churches, and families.

This episode explores the phenomenon of "trial by social media," drawing comparisons with historical examples of mob mentality and the spread of misinformation. Jeff and Bob discuss the crucial importance of understanding justice and due process in an era where news and lies travel at the speed of light.

They emphasize modeling truth and patience, encouraging open conversations about justice, law, and the potential surprises truth can bring. By fostering a commitment to understanding and truth, they guide listeners on how to positively influence the next generation, ensuring kids grow up in an informed and compassionate world. Listen in for thoughtful insights and strategies for grandparents and parents alike.
