Most kids who play sports dream of going pro—but very few actually do. So what should parents and kids really be focused on?

In this episode, I sit down with a high school classmate of mine, Alex Slater, who built a career inside Major League Baseball, working his way from an intern to Vice President and Assistant General Manager of the Los Angeles Dodgers.

We talk about the reality of careers in sports beyond playing, what it actually takes to work in professional sports, and how youth sports should be developing more than just athletes.

If you have a child in sports—or you’re thinking about their long-term future—this conversation will give you a different perspective on what success can look like.

Randel, a Bay Area native, aspiring broadcaster and journalist, and a sophomore at Syracuse University, brings a curious, generational perspective that helps surface deeper reflection around listening to the child, choosing values over nostalgia, and how confidence is built through trial, discomfort, and ownership.

The conversation explores the tradeoffs parents face when circumstances change and the importance of staying aligned while remaining open to adjustment.

But when it comes to raising boys, the guidance can feel conflicting, outdated, or incomplete. Strength versus sensitivity. Discipline versus understanding. Independence versus connection.

In this episode, Derrick sits down with Shaun Dawson, host of Raising Men, to talk honestly about why raising boys today feels harder than it used to — and what parents can focus on when there isn’t a clear playbook.

They discuss emotional resilience, healthy masculinity, the role of modeling over messaging, and how parents can guide boys through pressure, screens, and modern expectations without losing the values that matter most.

Drawing from Angela’s background as a competitive athlete, they talk about how sports can teach resilience, accountability, and optimism — and where families sometimes struggle to find balance. The conversation also explores how parents can think more intentionally about screen time and social media without fear, overreaction, or avoidance.

This episode closes out 2025 with a reflection on growth, boundaries, and raising kids who are prepared to navigate both challenge and change.

In Part One of this conversation, Derrick sits down with family therapist Angela Caldwell to unpack what people really mean when they say “it takes a village.” They explore why modern families often struggle to find support, how misalignment (not failure) creates isolation, and what shared values have to do with feeling truly supported.

This episode is a thoughtful reflection on connection, communication, and why building a village is less about having more people around — and more about clarity, trust, and intention.

In Part Two, the conversation continues with a focus on sports, screen time, and social media.

Coach Cunnie has coached more than 50 teams and helped lead both the Daly City Colts and the Joe DiMaggio program for athletes ages 15–19.

Derrick opens the episode with a deeply personal story about facing multiple rejections in youth baseball before finding a home—and a mentor—in Coach Cunnie's Daly City program. They reflect on that journey, the value of second chances, and how coaching shaped Derrick’s own path as both a mentor and a parent.

Together, they dive into how youth baseball has evolved, especially with the rise of travel teams, and discuss the lasting value of community-based sports. Coach Cunnie shares his perspective on what kids really need to succeed—on the field and in life—and offers timeless advice for parents and young coaches alike.

In a heartfelt post-show reflection, Derrick shares even more stories from his time coaching under Coach Cunnie, including a laugh-out-loud memory from the Peninsula Colts Tournament involving two late players, a train mishap, and a lineup that nearly didn’t get filled.

This episode is about much more than baseball—it’s about mentorship, resilience, and the lasting impact of coaches who believe in kids, even when others don’t.

We dig into:

  • Why Ryan is firmly against participation trophies — and what he believes kids really need
  • The difference between recognizing effort vs. rewarding results
  • What coaching and sales management have in common (surprisingly, a lot!)
  • How parents can walk the line between encouragement and pressure
  • Why losing — yes, losing — might be one of the best teachers for kids

Whether you’re a parent, coach, or someone who still has a dusty little trophy on your shelf, this one will make you reflect.

Plus, stay tuned until the end for my personal reflection on intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation and the role we all play in helping kids grow.

]]> A couple of years ago, while Ryan and I were working together, we attended a company retreat where we had the chance to speak with a world-renowned psychologist. Ryan seized the moment to ask a bold question about something he feels strongly about: participation trophies. That moment sparked a deeper conversation — one that continues in this episode. Ryan shares his experience as a dedicated youth coach in Texas and how that role intersects with his work as a sales leader. He talks about holding his team — and young athletes — accountable to results, not just effort, and why he’s focused on building long-term resilience in both his players and his own kids. This episode dives into: Why Ryan opposes participation trophies Lessons from the field and the sales floor How parents and coaches can balance encouragement with accountability The importance of preparing kids for real-world challenges I wrap up the episode with a personal reflection on intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation — and what we, as parents, really hope to instill in our children.
