How to Become ”Famous at Home” with Joshua Straub

This week Josh Straub, co-founder of Famous at Home, joins us on the podcast. In this episode w/ Josh we’re talking all about what it means to be "famous at home" as he shares more from the latest book he and his wife, Christi, co-authored. We talk about the chase we’re all on, what gets in the way of what matters most, and how our chase often leaves us empty-handed and wanting more. You’ll be encouraged and challenged to shift your perspective on how you view “parenting” as Josh unpacks the research findings on how to get the outcomes we most desire out of our kids.  

“The greatest red carpet  you’ll ever walk is through your front door.” 

Josh is an author/co-author of multiple books, including children’s books, marriage and leadership coach, and podcast cohost w/ his wife, Christi. They both lead Famous at Home, a company that equips leaders, corporations, and families in emotional intelligence and relational connections.
