1KHO 835: Good Moms Do Not Allow Their Children to Play Roblox | Nic McKinley, DeliverFund
6/22/20261 hr
Every parent thinks the biggest threats to their children are somewhere else until they realize the front door is already open. In this sobering conversation, former CIA operative, Air Force Pararescueman, and DeliverFund founder Nic McKinley pulls back the curtain on the realities of human trafficking, online grooming, and the digital systems putting predators within reach of children every day. This isn't far off. It's a rampant problem in the United States.
From shocking stories of rescue missions to practical warnings about Roblox, social media, gaming platforms, and the "smartphone effect," Nic explains why the internet has fundamentally changed childhood and what parents need to understand now. This episode is difficult, important, and deeply empowering. You'll walk away with a clearer picture of the risks, a greater appreciation for the work being done to stop traffickers, and renewed confidence that protecting kids starts with paying attention (and deleting Roblox).

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.
