Parenting in today’s digital age is more challenging than ever. With smartphones in every pocket and social media constantly at our kids' fingertips, it’s no wonder we’re seeing skyrocketing rates of anxiety, depression, and social isolation in today’s youth. So how do we, as parents, help our kids build real relationships and learn resilience in a tech-saturated world? In this episode of the Unleash Your Purpose podcast, Sara and I dive into the heart of these issues. We share practical tips that have worked in our family—from setting strict screen time limits to encouraging tech-free family days—and explore how the "phone-based childhood" is impacting our kids' mental health. Plus, we discuss the latest research from Jonathan Haidt’s The Anxious Generation and offer strategies for parents who want to regain control of their family’s tech habits. If you’re concerned about the effects of technology on your kids and want to help them grow into strong, connected, and resilient adults, this episode is a must-listen.

If you’re looking for a real conversation that will challenge your mindset and get you fired up, you’ve got to check out this episode of Unleash Your Purpose. I sat down with my good friend Timmy Ham, aka I Am Sloth, a guy who's breaking the mold by combining his love for both art and athletics. We dive deep into his journey—from a pro athlete and a corporate marketer to a full-time artist, working with major brands like Nike, Casey Neistat and Gary Vaynerchuk. But here's the kicker: ‪@TimmyHam‬ didn’t just stumble into success. He talks about getting laid off, making a bold decision to invest everything he had into his art, and raising $20,000 in his first Kickstarter. Now, he’s carving his own path in an industry that didn’t even exist before he built it. We also talk about balancing business with family, the mindset shifts that come with that, and how being intentional with your time can shape your future. Trust me, if you’ve ever felt like you're stuck between two worlds—whether it's pursuing your passion while keeping up with life’s responsibilities—this episode will hit home. Click play and get inspired to chase your own purpose with no apologies.

This episode isn’t just about my story; it’s about the hope and freedom that comes from forgiveness and self-discovery. If you’re a parent or someone wanting to break generational patterns, you can’t miss this one. If you’ve ever felt the weight of your past impacting your present, this episode is for you. In this heartfelt conversation, I dive deep into one of the most critical aspects of parenting—healing from the wounds we carry so that we don’t pass them on to our kids. I open up about my own journey, from growing up in a single-parent home to the deep-seated pain of feeling “not enough,” and how those wounds almost derailed my own family life. We talk about how adverse childhood experiences (ACES) and generational trauma can shape us in ways we don’t even realize, often leading to unhealthy patterns in adulthood. But here's the thing: while your past may not be your fault, healing from it is your responsibility. And when you do the hard work of healing, you don’t just change your life—you change the legacy you pass down to your kids.

In this episode of Unleash Your Purpose, my wife Sara and I dive into one of the most asked-about topics we face as foster and adoptive parents of 11 kids: intentional parenting. You know the drill—people ask, "How do you stay organized? How do you balance family and marriage? How do you handle all the chaos?" Well, in this six-part series, we're laying it all out. We kick things off with a hilarious family story that shows the wild ride of parenting a large family—like the time I accidentally loaded up a chicken recipe with six tablespoons of cayenne pepper! Spoiler alert: The entire house was sweating, but the laughter we shared brought us closer together. That’s what intentional parenting is about—building memories, creating those moments of connection, and embracing the chaos with purpose. We break down what it really takes to build a strong family culture—one rooted in love, respect, and shared values. From screen-free Sundays to showing up for your kids, it’s about being present and creating a space where they feel seen, heard, and challenged to grow. If you’ve ever wondered how to raise kids with purpose, this series is for you.

Hey friends, Ryan Senters here, and I have something real special for you. On this week's episode of Unleash Your Purpose, I finally got our Chief Development Officer, Mandi Lawson, to sit down with me—after many invites, of course! We dive into the highs, lows, and everything in between from our latest ventures, including the hard lessons we’ve learned from running our baby, Hanai Laveen. We talk about what it means to narrow your focus to broaden your impact—something my mentor hit me with recently, and it’s been a game-changer. If you’ve ever had too many tabs open in your brain, juggling projects, businesses, or even just life, you’ll want to hear this one. We get real about making tough calls, like cutting out passion projects to clear space for bigger things. There’s even some behind-the-scenes moments about DJ brunches that went a little sideways—think loud music, unhappy brunch-goers, and a few “what were we thinking?” moments. But this episode isn’t just about business—it’s about the mission behind everything we do. From employing kids in the foster care system to creating spaces for community, we share the heart and hustle behind the vision. And let me tell you, the lessons we’ve learned are priceless for any entrepreneur or dreamer trying to make an impact. We’ve done it all, from great wins to big missteps—and we’re giving it to you straight, no filter.

Hey there, Ryan Senters here, and I'm pumped to welcome you back to the Unleash Your Purpose podcast! You’re definitely not going to want to miss this episode, especially if you’re someone who’s all about resilience, bouncing back from the tough times, and keeping your family and faith at the forefront of everything you do. In this first episode of Season 2, my wife Sara and I get real about what’s been going on in our lives this summer. We’ve had some amazing highs—like adopting four of our kids—but we’ve also faced some brutal lows with our business, Ohana, where we had to shut down one of our most important foster care contracts. But here’s the kicker: even in the middle of loss and hardship, we found strength in our family, each other, and, of course, in our faith. We dive into the realities of running a mission-based business, from expanding rapidly to dealing with a gut-punch of losing a huge part of our work. But through it all, we’ve come to realize that sometimes, God has a bigger plan that we can’t see in the moment. And maybe, just maybe, this tough season is setting us up for something even greater. If you're struggling in your own life or business, or just need a reminder that it's okay to slow down and trust the process, this episode is for you. Sara and I talk candidly about how we've stayed grounded, kept our family first, and why we believe the best days are still ahead.
