About this episode
JP Sears joins the Built for Growth Podcast for a deep, eye-opening conversation about the cultural pressures, belief systems, and hidden influences shaping how we think, parent, and build our lives. They explore the modern identity crisis affecting today’s kids, the dangers of outsourcing your thinking to institutions, and why family, values, and personal sovereignty matter more than ever. JP opens up about becoming a father, shifting out of stand-up touring, optimizing his health and hormones, and learning to question everything—especially your own beliefs. If you're ready to rethink how you see yourself, your responsibility, and the world around you, this episode will challenge your assumptions and help you reconnect with what truly matters.
