How cool is it when you get to learn from your kids? That requires parents to take a back seat. It can be humbling and enlightening to experience the world through the lens of a younger generation. In this episode, you will hear an interview with my son, Rocco. Rocco has lived an incredible life and has been in the eye of the camera since birth. However, there is a downside of being the son of a rock star. You will hear more about this in the interview. In this conversation, you will hear Rocco share his experience growing up in tour buses and feeling like airports are home. His love for basketball led to deciding to attend an inner-city school, and he talks about how his experience in that environment led to who has become today. Rocco is now in Los Angeles and exploring his creative side in music and acting. Rocco is a thoughtful individual that feels he has to change himself before he can change the world.
