Ep.18 - Parenting with Purpose and Principles with John Papola

MTV and Nickelodeon alumnus John Papola learned to keep his conservative values quiet in New York media circles. Then fatherhood changed everything. Now he's on a mission to save American families from what he calls the "evil" of victimhood ideology.

Speaking with Dr. Johann D'Souza, John Papola doesn't mince words: modern parenting has it backwards. We wait too long to have kids, helicopter over them once they arrive, and send them to schools that teach them they're powerless victims. His nonprofit, Emergent Order Foundation, creates high-production content promoting classical virtues - including economics rap battles viewed by millions and documentaries that have literally changed where parents send their children to school.

From surviving near-bankruptcy during COVID to building Dad Saves America into a movement, John Papola's story demonstrates how principled content can compete with and defeat toxic messaging.
