Tyler also breaks down his three-minute nightly plan, the mindset of being the CEO of your life, and how small daily habits compound into massive long-term change.

Discipline can shape a child’s character—or crush their spirit. In this episode of Raising Rebels, Joel and Tech break down how to give consequences that teach, not punish, and how to discipline in a way that builds a bridge, not a wall. We talk about the danger of correcting in anger, practical ways to downregulate (yes—breathe), why discipline is really training, and how to make consequences predictable, proportional, and age-appropriate. You’ll also hear a helpful framework from law enforcement (a “use of force continuum” applied to parenting), plus a powerful approach to creating a family discipline charter so everyone knows the expectations ahead of time.
