Episode 375: Capable the Young Adult Years with David and Sissy
5/14/202622 min
In this episode, Sissy Goff and David Thomas discuss the growing challenges many young adults face, including entitlement, emotional fragility, difficulty handling feedback, and struggles with responsibility and relationships. They explain how capability is built through real-life experiences like disappointment, inconvenience, accountability, conflict resolution, and service to others. The conversation encourages parents to stop removing every obstacle, allow natural consequences, and support young adults as they learn to navigate hard things with resilience and maturity. . . . . . .

Starting something new is terrifying, and if I'd known then what I know now, I would've said, "Get a partner like Shopify."
David Thomas· Host0:23
