This parenting-focused podcast centers on Dr. Mark Schillinger’s guidance for helping teenage boys become more responsible, resilient, and cooperative—especially when screen use fuels conflict. It’s a strong PR fit for experts tied to parenting strategy, youth development, behavioral change, and rite-of-passage/mentorship models, though the show appears to be primarily host-led.
