What does resilience look like through the eyes of a teenager? In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with my son, Nasir, to explore the powerful lessons he’s learned about bouncing back, pushing through, and staying motivated — even when life gets tough.

From balancing academics and sports to dealing with everyday challenges, Nasir shares how he uses tools like music, goal-setting, and breaking big goals into smaller steps to stay focused. His message is simple but powerful: Keep going. Tough it out.

This episode is filled with wisdom that applies to all ages. Whether you’re a teen navigating school and identity, a parent supporting your child, or a leader guiding others, you’ll walk away inspired by Nasir’s words.

👉 What you’ll take away:

• A teen’s raw perspective on resilience

• How young people can develop “mental toolboxes” for tough times

• The role of mindset, goals, and small steps in creating momentum

• The reminder that perseverance isn’t complicated: it’s a daily choice

✨ Parents, mentors, youth leaders — this episode is a great reminder of how resilience can be cultivated at any stage of life. Teens and young adults — this one is for you, from someone who’s right there in the journey.
