Why Some Kids Need a Purpose

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2610494/fan_mail/new] This week on Still Figuring It Out, Josh and Britt dive into an important question: Why do some kids thrive in school while others struggle to stay motivated? Josh shares stories from his own childhood, including being the student who didn’t care much about grades, skipped class, and even got kicked out of a teacher’s classroom. Looking back, he reflects on how having a purpose and direction could have changed his path much earlier in life. The conversation explores summer learning, helping kids retain knowledge during school breaks, the importance of accountability, and why parents play such a critical role in preparing their children for success. Josh also discusses his work with SouthernTech and the new OSSAA officials training program, highlighting how opportunities like CareerTech can help students find a purpose and a future they are excited about. Whether you’re a parent, educator, coach, or someone who struggled to find motivation as a student, this episode offers honest conversations, personal stories, and practical insights about helping young people discover their “why.” Because sometimes the difference between success and struggle isn’t ability. It’s having a purpose. Follow Still Figuring It Out on Facebook and be sure to send us your best “Dad Fail of the Week” for a chance to be featured on a future episode! We appreciate y’all listening.
