197: The Provider Trap That Kills A Mans Marriage feat: Marty Hoffman

Parenting Philosophy, Embracing Failure, and Mentoring Children

Marty Hoffman discusses his father's humble approach to parenting, which involved letting children try things and fail without judgment. This philosophy of embracing failure as a learning tool is something Hoffman now practices with his own six children. The speakers compare this intentional coaching style to broader cultural differences in parenting between the United States and the United Kingdom.
