Dave and Ashley Willis are ready to talk about raising boys who know how to give respect.

They dish on turning everyday moments—like mall strolls and swimsuit magazines—into teachable, not preachy, moments about sex, boundaries, and respect. Plus, they unpack how dads can lay out the ultimate blueprint for sons. Think parenting talks can’t be real, raw, and refreshingly hopeful? Think again. Tune in and gather the tools (and the courage) to raise respectful, confident boys who won’t settle for less.
