We don’t always recognize the role we play in the lives of our grandchildren—but they do.

In this thoughtful and surprisingly moving conversation, Antwaun Thompson shares what he’s learned from decades of coaching and mentoring young people—and why grandparents, especially grandmothers, have a powerful and often underestimated influence.

This is a conversation about presence, perspective, and the kind of legacy that isn’t announced… but felt.

• What’s changed for today’s preteens and teens—and what hasn’t
• The growing gap in structure, accountability, and communication
• Why kids feel unheard—and how to change that
• The difference between guiding and overstepping
• How to use everyday moments to build confidence and resilience
• The role of open-ended questions in building real connection
• Navigating family boundaries without losing your influence
• What it really means to leave a legacy with the next generation

Influence doesn’t always come from authority—it often comes from presence.
