None of the rhythms, habits, tactics, or strategies we talk about will work if you lose your kids' hearts in the process.
This is the foundational, fundamental connection you need in order to truly build a family team that survives the ups and downs of life.
In this episode, we're trying something new, and we're honestly really excited about it...
This is a conversation hosted by Blake Allsmith, long-time Family Teams supporter and Pryor family friend. He's joined by Jeremy, April, AND Jeff, for an amazing conversation with a ton of different perspectives and insights on one of the major risks of losing your child's heart:
The Black Sheep Effect.
What is it, how does it show up, what are the red flags, and how can you make sure you don't succumb to it?
You'll learn all that, and more, in this conversation.
On this episode, we talk about:
0:00 Intro
1:29 What is the Black Sheep Effect?
3:05 Red flags
6:07 Why do we see this pattern?
10:15 What happens long term?
16:38 Identity
20:32 Practical examples and solutions

We think having an annual family summit is one of the most important rhythms families can add to help them start to become a family team.
In this episode, we're joined by Blake and Chandler Smith, who will be our coaches inside the Family Teams Accelerator in December. They are EXPERTS when it comes to meetings (which means they're fun and connective, NOT boring and horrible like you'd think).
They break down why they do a family summit every year, how they do it (the 3 main sections), lessons learned over the past decade-plus of doing this, AND the extremely vulnerable exercise they do every year.
Listen to this, get excited about how this could change your family's life, and then join us inside the Accelerator!

We have been doing this for over a decade, and it's paid off HUGE dividends for our family.
Today we're talking about our annual family summit, including why you should consider doing one, and how to pull it off.
This is SUCH an impactful day for us, and for so many of the other families in the Family Teams ecosystem that we really wanted to give you guys our full playbook. That's why we're dedicating the entire month of December in the Family Teams Accelerator to this topic. It's THAT important.

Do you know why you're living the style of life you're living?
Do you know just how new it is, and what the modern western society has done to family?
It's been a long march to get here, but the results have been devastating.
Rory Groves joins us today to talk about the book their ministry is re-publishing, Henry and the Great Society, and why this is an important cultural message that we need to get into as many people's hands as possible.
This podcast cuts to the very root of what's broken about modern, western society, and yet gives hope as Rory and Jeremy discuss how to return to a more normal, family- and community-centered approach to life.
On this episode, we talk about:
0:00 Intro
0:49 Why Republish An Old Book
7:15 Why "The Great Society"?
12:14 Why We Still Assume Newer, Better, Faster Tech Is The Answer
17:56 What USED To Exist To Promote An Alternative Vision To "MORE"
22:41 Freedom As The Ultimate Value
31:21 The Solution To The Good Life
