The King Maker Program: A pep talk for the parents of young adults
A podcast for parents who know their young adult was made for more — and want the mindset, strategy, and confidence to help them get there.
The King Maker Pep Talk is where parents of young adults come to regroup, reset, and get real direction.
If your son or daughter is drifting, stuck, underperforming, unmotivated, or capable of far more than they’re showing… this is your space.
Created by Richard Jones, RN — the mind behind Parenting Your Child in Recovery and the King Maker Program — this podcast offers short, powerful sessions designed to help you:
• Understand what today’s young adults are REALLY up against
• Shift from worry and frustration to structure and strategy
• Learn the “parent side” of building agency, direction, and accountability
• Support your young adult without arguing, rescuing, or controlling
• Use the principles of the King Maker Program to strengthen influence at home
• Become the steady voice that helps them move from potential to purpose
Every episode is a pep talk — direct, honest, and grounded in decades of real-world experience with young adults in crisis, transition, and transformation.
This is not another “parenting tips” podcast.
This is where parents become king makers:
Adults who know how to guide, support, and encourage young men and women into confidence, leadership, and a future they can own.
If you’ve ever said to yourself,
“I know my child can do more — I just don’t know how to reach them,”
you’re in the right place.
Welcome to The King Maker Pep Talk —
where hope becomes strategy,
and strategy becomes transformation.

5 things About This Podcast: A Throwback Episode
In today's episode, I want to throw it back to my first full podcast. I talked about the five things I wanted you to know about the show. At the start of this journey, which commences on September 14th, 2020, I didn't know what I was doing, much like now, but I was optimistic, much like now. It was always about making a team of people and doing tasks to help the families of young adults in trouble. I wanted to emphasize TEAM. I wanted to talk about PREVENTION. I wanted to join everyone who had the same mission as I did. Nothing has changed, but this is a fun recap and trip down memory lane.
This seminar series is not about traditional rehab models. Instead, it’s about Leveraged-Based Tapered Life Management—a proven system that turns external accountability into internal habit and sets young adults up for sustainable success.
