Episode Takeaway from Steve:  You have to begin earlier than you think with your kids. It's an apprenticeship process. You have to invest the time with them in the early years to have the relationship you want when they are teens. Parenting is the hardest thing you'll ever do, but the most rewarding too. Check out GiANT OS Pro to check out the parenting course.
Episode Takeaway from Jeremie: Building a healthy family starts with you. You have to do the work on yourself. If you know how to know yourself to lead yourself, then you will be ready to lead your kids. Know your personality, wiring and tendencies.
