Jeremy Puglisi returns for his seventh appearance on The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast—and it’s a powerful one. What began as a pop-up camper and a couple of sleep-deprived twins has become a movement, a media company, and a meaningful legacy. In this episode, Jeremy and host Ginny Yurich reflect on what it really means to invest in your children—not with money, but with time, presence, and outdoor adventures. Jeremy shares the long-term fruit of raising kids immersed in nature, adventure, and unpredictability—and how those early camping trips laid the foundation for his boys’ confidence and competence today.
They talk family road trips, leaving stable careers to follow a passion, the birth of Camp Griddlemore (a cooking show you’ll actually use), and the heart behind Jeremy’s latest book series for kids. This episode is an invitation to go all-in—not because it’s easy, but because it’s worth it. Camping isn’t just a weekend escape; it’s a parenting philosophy. And as Jeremy wisely says, “Investing is not always easy—but it’s very wise.”

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”Ever feel like you're giving your all to work, relationships, and personal goals, but treating your spiritual life like an afterthought? Michael Pacer joins Jack to explore the disconnect that's leaving so many men unfulfilled and searching for something more.Michael, president of 5 Stones and author of "Prayers for Catholic Men," brings his unique gift of making complex spiritual realities accessible to everyone. As a former trial attorney who specialized in breaking down complicated concepts for juries, he now applies that same clarity to the spiritual journey – particularly focusing on confession and the Mass as the "one-two punch" of authentic faith.The conversation tackles a profound question: Why do we accept that every other area of life requires consistent effort – from weightlifting to career advancement – yet expect our souls to flourish without similar investment?

In this encore episode of the ScreenStrong Families Podcast, Melanie Hempe revisits an important conversation with Dr. Douglas Gentile, award-winning research scientist, educator, author, and professor of developmental psychology at Iowa State University.Together, they dive into the scientific research behind the addictive nature of video games and explore why many parents struggle to accept the mounting evidence. Dr. Gentile explains how gaming impacts children's developing brains, why certain games are designed to keep kids playing, and how overuse can prevent them from building real-world skills.He also offers a preview of what’s ahead in the fields of diagnosis and screening tools for screen overuse, equipping parents with insight into how science is catching up with what many families are already experiencing.Dr. Gentile shares practical advice for parents: set limits, create balance, and stand firm even when children resist. As he wisely cautions: “Don’t feed the bears.” His message is clear—it’s worth the effort to protect your child’s development. “Trust that parenting matters.”If you missed this episode the first time, or need a fresh reminder of why boundaries around gaming are so critical, this is a must-listen encore.Support the showDon't forget to subscribe, rate, and leave a review if you enjoy the episode.
