Becoming Better Ancestors

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. If you hate all the “emo” stuf, keep scrolling.

If you don’t talk to people one-on-one, silence starts writing the script, and it usually gets the story wrong.

Right after turning 50, I realized most family tension has nothing to do with what was actually said. It’s about everything we never had the guts to say. 

In this episode, I unpack what that milestone cracked open for me, and why surface-level connection isn’t enough anymore. 

It’s time to go de...

Some of us grew up with yelling, silence, or just plain absence. And now we’re trying to build something better without a blueprint.

In this episode, Brenda Siri and I talk about the quiet work of change. The kind that doesn’t make headlines but matters most. We get into how simple things like consistency, play, and presence can become generational repair tools. 

It’s not about blame. It’s about what’s next.

Most people never learn how to argue. They just repeat what they saw growing up, or avoid it altogether.

In this episode, we talk about what it really means to fight fair, speak honestly, and stop letting little resentments pile up into relationship landmines. 

If you’ve ever thought “this isn’t a big deal” while quietly stewing… yeah. It is. Let’s talk about it.

I was the kid drawing while everyone else played outside.

Collecting bootleg tapes. Signing up for improv just because it felt right.
In this episode, I talk about how being “weird” wasn’t a phase, it was the start of becoming myself.

If you’ve ever felt different, good. That means you’re paying attention to what makes you you.

Before Anastacia packed her bags for another semester of college, we sat down to talk and hit record.

She’s kicking off the term with exciting new classes, amazing new friends, and an internship that seemed too good to be true (and yes, it’s legit!). 

As a father, hearing her share what she’s learning, who she’s meeting, and how she’s growing is the kind of moment I don’t want to miss.

This episode is simply a dad spending time and sw...

 “I get to.” Three small words. One giant shift.

In this episode, Dr. Matthew Arau shows how this mindset flips leadership from pressure to presence. It’s not about sugarcoating struggle, it’s about showing up with purpose. From the classroom to the boardroom, this reframe hits different.

If your day’s been feeling like a to-do list with legs, this one’s for you. Tune in. Feel lighter. Lead better.

We were just sitting in the car, me and my daughter, talking about music.
Then she played a song that quietly broke my heart.

It told a story I never want to be part of.
About a dad turned into a villain, not by truth but by pain and half truths. 

That moment made me realize how easy it is to get erased.

How fast someone’s story becomes your legacy, even if it’s not real.

This one’s about breaking that cycle no matter how hard ...

What if your kids actually loved their last name? Pretty wild idea, right?

I didn't like my family name when I was young, and neither did my friends. So when I became a dad, I decided to change that game completely!

When my daughter Anastacia came home for spring break, I thought, "Perfect timing!" and got her to spill all our family secrets. Trust me, they're pretty funny ones!

While getting my haircut the other day, my stylist asked me, "Are you the jealous type?" 

It got me thinking about how jealousy often stems from insecurity in relationships. 

Honestly, if you trust your partner, there's no need for jealousy—it just wastes time and energy.

Building a solid connection requires complete trust. If it’s missing, it might be time to reassess things.

A $50 Christmas experiment transformed how my daughters understand money, extending far beyond the holidays.

Leading up to the birth of my first daughter, I felt the weight of responsibility and the pressure to grow up.

I was just a clueless, lost kid and now I had a kid. Somehow, I had to figure it out.

Here we are, 22 years later. But how?

I took fatherhood seriously. Dead serious.

I even served as PTA president for a year. Yeah, that’s pretty serious.
