EP14 - Pop That!
Occasionally the viral game show “Pop The Balloon” shows up in my feed.
I’ll admit… it’s entertaining.
But at the same time I can’t help but wonder:
Who on earth would willingly subject themselves to humiliation just to be seen?
Clearly… thousands.
As the father of four beautiful daughters, these things hit differently. As they get older and conversations about dating start to happen, the discussions around character, respect, and social media become more important than ever.
Today’s world is loud.
Everyone is performing.
Everyone is comparing.
Everyone is trying to be chosen.
But one of the things I always tell my daughters is this:
Pay attention to what people are showing you from the beginning.
Not just how they approach you.
Not just what they say.
But also:
What does their social media presence say about them?
How do they talk about other women or men?
What kind of energy do they celebrate publicly?
Because if someone constantly promotes degrading women, chances are…
one day that disrespect will land on you too.
And the same goes the other way around for them.
Another thing I tell them is simple but powerful:
People will often adjust their behavior to get you.
But eventually, their true colors always show up.
Good or bad.
So when someone tells you who they are early on…
believe them.
Sometimes the loudest message isn’t what people say after the balloon pops…
It’s what they told you before you ever picked it up.
