Raising Good Humans: Why I'm Instilling a Family Identity Into My Kids

In this week’s episode of TUF, Robbie gets real about one of the most important—and challenging—parts of parenting: raising kids to be genuinely good people. As his own children grow, he’s reflecting on how to instill values like kindness, character, and doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.

Rather than fixating on academic achievement or athletic success, Robbie dives into how he’s shaping a family identity rooted in integrity and compassion—something he calls being a “Kratty Boy.” Inspired by a blend of proud dad moments, family nicknames, and honest observations of modern parenting, this episode unpacks what it really means to build a legacy through your children.

Whether you’re a parent navigating how to raise respectful and resilient kids, or just someone thinking about what kind of mark you want to leave on the world, this episode is for you.
