| |||||||||||||||
Hey folks,
THE Katie Phang is back with me this week, for another episode of Breaking Bread, and this one gets real, fast. We went deep on parenting, power, and what it takes to protect our kids in a world run by creeps who think they’re untouchable. It’s raw, it’s sharp, and it’s exactly why I love doing this show with her. You don’t want to miss this one.
[00:01:31] We jump straight into the core question: How do we actually protect our kids? Katie breaks down accountability, deterrence, and why treating these crimes with real gravity is the first line of defense.
[00:04:54] I detail how wealth and power shield abusers, raising the stakes for parents trying to raise kids in a system built to protect the worst people.
[00:09:58] Katie connects income inequality, policy failure, and exploitation — showing how unstable systems create vulnerable kids and embolden predators.
[00:15:24] I open up about raising a young son in a culture shaped by toxic influencers, economic disconnection, and AI-driven isolation.
[00:21:47] Katie and I zoom out to the big picture: community, connection, authoritarian creep, and the world our kids will inherit if we don’t intervene now.
This episode is a must-watch if you care about safety, justice, or raising kids who won’t be swallowed by a system built to protect abusers. Katie and I take the conversation from the personal to the political to the structural—because it’s all connected, and it all matters. If you value honest conversations like this, help me keep them going.
