You can't hit rewind on life, but what wisdom would your future self whisper in your ear? Todd and Bettijo are dishing on the lessons they learned the hard way, so you don't have to!  Get ready for some laugh-out-loud relatable moments and advice that's so good, it's DANG!

SUMMARY

Todd and Bettijo take a hilarious and heartfelt trip down memory lane, dishing out the advice they would give their younger selves – and maybe even their kids (if they'd listen!). From the age-old battle of teen vs. parent wisdom to the surprisingly heavy weight of early decisions, they cover the ground that every young adult stumbles across. 

They share personal anecdotes, including the sweet satisfaction of a grown child finally admitting their parents were right (shocking, we know!).

Plus, they touch on the crucial habit of saving money early and the mind-blowing realization that time becomes the ultimate precious commodity.
