My friend @agnumasalis and I talked about raising kids for a future of AI and robotics, and why I think a parent is better placed to do that than anyone else. One idea I keep coming back to: you don’t improve through experience. You improve from reflecting on experience. That’s why a family needs a set time each week to sit down and talk, so the conversations that need to happen actually do. We also got into: → What farm families had that most homes have lost: a shared purpose. How do you get that back without running a farm? → Why family is the investment with the slowest return, and why that’s the reason it gets neglected → Routines, missions and councils, the three parts of Patrol Family → And the most important question on his show: what cheese do you like?

I had a chance this week to present PatrolFamily.com to a group of influential people at the intersection of AI and civics. I spoke about raising high-agency kids, ready for a world of AI and robotics. It was a highly validating experience having a dozen people eager to chat - one a cofounder of Ancestry.com who I’ve been chatting with since, and another that is interested to explore having me featured at events with parents. Idk where these will go, yet, but it’s exciting to see the potential. The product is having great results with my existing pilot families. You can see from the chart that they are using it more every week. It is aligning families in the day to day, facilitating meaningful personal councils between parents, parent and kid, as well as full family councils. People’s homes are maintaining steady routines, getting chores out of the way, self-improvement work, and freeing up time to complete missions together. The data is showing that parents are “habit stacking” (if you’ve read Atomic Habits). I’m ready for more pilot families. If you or anyone you know would benefit from this, you can start using the app for free at PatrolFamily.com. If you want the handheld onboarding experience you can book a call with me from the website and I’d love to offer that for you.
