  • EP156: Dad, Could You Not? A Survival Guide for Parenting Teens
    Apr 14 2026

    Interview with Chip Leighton / Host of The Leighton Show

    HOSTED BY PAUL SULLIVAN

    What happens when a corporate executive with an MBA, a steady career, and a very normal dad life accidentally becomes one of the internet’s funniest fathers? Paul sits down with Chip Leighton—the creator behind the painfully relatable dad content so many parents secretly see themselves in—to talk about why his humor hits so hard, what teenagers are really like, and how laughter can make parenting feel a little less lonely. Chip shares how a few TikToks turned into millions of followers, a bestselling book, and a new release, Dad, Can You Not? But beneath the jokes is something every parent needs to hear: your kid is probably more normal than you think, and you’re probably doing better than you think too. This one is funny, honest, and full of those “wait… that happens in your house too?” moments.

    Interview with Sonia Bestulic / Founder of Flourish with Sonia

    HOSTED BY PAUL SULLIVAN

    What if the biggest challenges facing kids today aren’t about behavior or performance - but about how disconnected we’ve become from ourselves? Drawing on decades of work with thousands of families, globally recognized thought leader, speech pathologist, and author Sonia Bestulic has built a framework for raising empowered children through self-leadership, intuition, and trust. She shares why so many parents feel stuck in guilt and self-doubt, how traditional systems often miss a child’s true brilliance, and what it really means to build strong foundations for lifelong flourishing.
