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.

Parenting your Child in Recovery: The Basics and preparing for a Podcast
This podcast is a review of a show I just did with James Moffitt of the “ABCs of Parenting Adult Children” Podcast. James is a good friend who is doing magnificent work. I am proud to sponsor his show and his work. I'd like to take a few minutes to discuss my mission, my 'why,' and illustrate some of the basic tenets of Leveraged-Based, Tapered Life Management.
ATTENTION: FOR PARENTS of Young Adults 17–24 at risk, in trouble, or in transition into adulthood.
“You’ve Tried Everything… But He’s Still Slipping. Here’s What You Haven’t Been Told.”
🚨 Substance use ?, trouble with the law ?, lost potential?
You've tried everything: tough love, therapy, waiting on "rock bottom,"… and it's STILL not working.
But what if:
✅ The real change doesn't come from "fixing them"…
✅ It comes from YOU learning how to lead — with leverage, calm confidence, and a tapered plan
