The Modern Man

In this episode of The Modern Man, I’m joined by Carl Sharperson Jr., a Leadership Innovation Strategist, author, coach, husband, and father who’s helping his clients and his children maximize their potential in life. Today, Carl is sharing his wisest advice and lessons learned from parenthood and family leadership.

Learn Carl’s approach to being the leader of your family and building a strong foundation with your partner before deciding to have kids. He speaks on how to turn your experiences into teachable moments for your kids and how to set an example of overcoming adversity and negativity throughout life. Plus, he shares inspiration from his book, “Sharp Leadership: Parenting Principles for Rearing Young People”.

“One of the most important things you can do, in my opinion – and I didn’t do it with my kids, but if I could do back and do it, I would do it – teach them a personal vision statement.”
