6/16/20261 hr
The average child now carries more temptation, distraction, and influence in their pocket than previous generations encountered in a lifetime. In his second appearance on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, Chris McKenna joins Ginny Yurich for a critical conversation about parenting in the digital age, why today's challenges are fundamentally different, and what families can do to protect connection, innocence, and trust without living in fear. Learn how to become the kind of parent who understands the world your kids are growing up in and has the courage to lead them through it. You'll leave with a renewed sense of purpose and a powerful reminder that the most important influence in a child's life is still a present, engaged adult who refuses to give up ground.

This episode is sponsored by Fora Travel. I've always been the person people come to for travel advice, whether it's planning a camping trip in Northern Michigan, figuring out how to travel well with kids across the country, or finding experiences that actually help families connect instead of just filling an itinerary. I genuinely have loved helping people create meaningful adventures, and I know a lot of you listening are probably that person too, the friend who plans the trip, the one who researches the details, the one person people trust to find the hidden gems and make everything run smoothly. Fora is built for people exactly like that. Fora is a modern travel agency that helps people build their own travel business, no matter what stage of life they're in. You don't need prior experience because Fora gives you the training, technology, and support to help you get started, and you're joining a community of people who are building businesses centered around experiences, relationships, and helping others travel well. A lot of advisors begin simply by helping people they already know and grow naturally from there. What I also appreciate is that there are no sales quotas or minimums. You can build this at a pace that works for your life and your family. Your next act starts here. Become a Fora advisor today at foratravel.com/1000hours.
