In this special Thanksgiving episode of The Man with No Name Podcast, we explore the transformative power of gratitude and why it’s important to practice it year-round—not just on this holiday. I’m joined by my son for a heartfelt and eye-opening conversation that brings the innocence of a child’s perspective to this universal concept.

We dive into what gratitude means, why it matters, and how shifting your mindset can help you find positivity, even during life’s challenges. My son shares a profound idea he calls “changing the channel”—a simple, relatable way to think about adjusting your mindset to focus on joy and appreciation.

Whether you’re a parent looking for inspiration to teach gratitude to your kids or someone seeking practical ways to cultivate gratitude in your own life, this episode has something for you. We’ll also touch on the science and psychology behind a gratitude practice, its benefits for mental health, and why it can be challenging for some of us to find gratitude—especially during tough times.

Tune in for an inspiring, family-centered conversation that will leave you with tools and insights to bring gratitude into your life every day, not just on Thanksgiving.

Listen now, and let’s “change the channel” together. 🎧✨
