In the latest podcast episode, Tim dives deep into parenting with Hillary Simpson, a renowned parent success coach from HGS Enterprises. They talk about the dual role of technology as a tool for advancement and a potential pitfall. They discuss parents' critical responsibility in setting unyielding boundaries and the profound impact of learning to say no in nurturing resilience within our children. Hillary also talks about the solitary journey of entrepreneurship, where she learned the power of delegation firsthand, allowing her to sharpen her focus on the heart of her business pursuits. Reflecting on the siren call of flashy coaching offers, she also emphasized the cruciality of applying newfound knowledge rather than falling prey to the paralysis of information overload. 



Who is Hillary D. Simpson?

 

Hillary Drummond Simpson is an award-winning educator and author who is passionate about the education and success of African American young men. She noticed a recurring problem in the boys she taught, as they often aspired to careers in entertainment or sports without considering other options. This led her to research and discover that these careers were the only role models they saw on television. To address this issue, Simpson established the Boys to Men Mentoring Program in 2005, where black boys are mentored by male leaders in the community. She also created Boys to Men Night Out, a monthly event where boys bond with male role models in an educational setting. Simpson believes that families must support and encourage men to take on leadership roles at home and in society.
