Raising Kids That Are Kind, Leading with Empathy and Creating Memorable Experiences with Brian Ondrako
For anyone that grew up in a household where the word love was seldom said or shown, it can be the only thing that we remember about our relationship with our parents.
Today’s guest can certainly speak to that. Brian Ondrako is a father, author, sales consultant and the host of the Just Get Started podcast. In his newest kids’ book, The Magically Magnificent Mysterious Mind, he reminds us that the happier we are, the happier it will make others around us feel.
As a single Dad, Brian is intentional about the time he spends with his son. He talks about how his grandparents had the biggest impact on him as a child, and now that he’s a father, he wants to be that person for him.
In our conversation, we talk about how kids are happiest when they’re loved and supported, how he’s handling his son’s YouTuber aspirations, and the four pillars that Brian says can make or break any relationship.
