Leadership in Parenting (Part 2) | Episode 135
In Part Two of Leadership & Parenting, Ron and Kristin welcome Troy Robison, a faith-centered leader, husband, and father who serves as Head of Sales at AI Vector, the parent company of today’s sponsor, Kovo Home. Together, they explore how leadership and technology intersect in modern parenting.
From setting healthy digital boundaries to navigating online influences, Troy offers an inside look at how innovative tools can help parents guide, protect, and empower their children. The discussion blends science, psychology, and practical leadership wisdom — focusing on how connection, consistency, and courage build resilient families in a digital world.
Key Takeaways:
- Technology can be a powerful ally in protecting and preparing children when paired with intentional parenting.
- Leadership at home mirrors leadership at work — clarity, boundaries, and empathy matter most.
- Digital safety isn’t fear-based; it’s value-based — teach kids why, not just what.
- Modeling online integrity builds digital citizenship and character.
- Parents who stay curious stay connected.
Closing Thought:
Parenting remains the most important leadership role you’ll ever have. It’s not about perfection — it’s about presence. Whether leading a team or a family, remember: be the leader you’re meant to be.
