Most people blame “bad luck” when their life keeps falling apart.
Dr. Scott Anderson reveals the real reason: You’re trying to build a beautiful house on a cracked foundation.
In this eye-opening episode, he breaks down how the first 5 years of life shape everything — why two engaged parents matter, why single parenting or distracted “iPad parenting” creates massive developmental gaps, and how both neglect and overindulgence lead to the same outcomes: poor impulse control, entitlement, escapism, addiction, and repeated failure.
Less than 20% of people are actually prepared to have children. The rest? Their kids pay the price for a lifetime.
If you feel like no matter what you do, things crash down just when you’re getting close… this episode explains why — and what it takes to fix your foundation.
