    John Skomski: Failure is Necessary

    Failure is a necessary part of success. Every successful person we look up to has walked a winding road of failure to get to where they are.

    Unbound Talks: Lessons We Learned at Basecamp

    Unbound Talks: Lessons We Learned at Basecamp

    Cohosts Jonathan and David take some time to upack the lessons they learned from Basecamp - our most recent live event for students.

    Basecamp brought together over 100 young adults from ages 17-22 for a week, plus several of our Unbound alumni and staff. The group learned a lot about the topic of failure through speakers and workshops, and through a series of unexpected situations, they also experienced a lot of failures throughout the event. How did everyone respond to that failure? Listen in for some hilarious stories and great lessons.

    Connie Albers: Parenting Beyond the Rules

    Connie Albers: Parenting Beyond the Rules

    Connie Ablers joins this episode of the Be Unbound Podcast to share her insights on how to parent beyond the rules and create a rich relationship with your children.

    For over 30 years, Connie Albers has been teaching people of all ages how to discover and use their natural strengths and gifts to succeed in virtually any situation. She is a popular speaker whose insights and humor and practical strategies have encouraged and motivated educators, parents, businesspeople, and students to focus on strengths to achieve success. With a goal for bringing out the best in others, Connie has brought hope and life to countless families, but she remains humbled by the way God uses her message to make such a difference.

    Connie is an educator, leader, movement shaper, and speaker, and more recently an author of a new book “Parenting Beyond the Rules: Raising Teens with Confidence and Joy.” Her goal is to offer hope and help to parents and educators of the over 63 million teens who need guidance and unconditional love not just another set of rules. The teen years are indeed among the most challenging for parents, but they can be the most rewarding season of the parenting journey. Every child is a masterpiece in the making, and mom and dad get to help their child become the person he or she is created to be by painting a picture of possibilities for the future.

    It was a real pleasure to have her on the Be Unbound podcast, and she has a lot of things that I think you're going to find both helpful, useful, and reassuring if you're a parent or ever will be a parent.

    James Glenn: Willfully Taking the Next Step

    James Glenn joins us this week in another installment of our Extraordinary to Ordinary series. James is a long time friend of the show. In fact, he recorded one of the very first (unreleased) episodes of the Be Unbound podcast!

    James is in many ways, a larger than life figure in terms of his physical fitness, his abilities, the challenges he takes on, and the life experience that he has. But James is also one of the most others focused people out there, which is a unique combination. Even with his magnetic personality, almost everything he does is at some level aimed at helping, understanding, or focusing on somebody else.
