In this episode, our host Liz Durham is joined by Armando SanMiguel, her former boss and mentor, for a conversation about coddling and its impact on children's development.  Drawing parallels from their professional experiences, Liz and Armando discuss how shielding kids from adversity can hinder their growth and resilience. Armando shares insights into his management approach and emphasizes the importance of preparing his employees for real-world challenges. The conversation doesn't stop there - what about the phenomenon of colleges prioritizing feelings over exposure to diverse ideas? Liz and Armando agree: this can lead to censorship and an entitled generation. Tune in for an honest discussion on the necessity of facing stressors and cultivating resilience to empower the next generation for success in the adult world. - - - - - - - - - - - Liz Durham Instagram | Website Subscribe Apple Podcast | Spotify Being Different with Liz Durham is a Palm Tree Pod Co. production
