Becoming Better Ancestors
Becoming a Better Ancestor explores how personal development, health, wealth, and parenting intersect to help us show up as the best versions of ourselves—now and for future generations.
I’m Teevee, your host, sharing my stories, philosophies, and a big dose of humor and sarcasm, alongside raw honesty and vulnerability.
I believe that when you become a better person, you naturally become a better parent—creating a legacy that lasts long after we’re gone.
