045 - Jeff Hyles on Building Growth Mindsets for Kids That Last a Lifetime

In this episode, I’m joined by Jeff Hyles—educator, entrepreneur, founder of JCs: The Power of Mindset, father, and husband. Jeff has lived and taught in top schools all over the world, from Toronto to Turkey, with chapters in Panama and Colombia, and unforgettable years in Vietnam,  gathering lessons that shaped his mission to help kids develop confidence, resilience, and a true growth mindset.

We dive into the role parents play as the first blueprint in their children’s development, why respecting your child’s generation is key, and how to balance showing strength with modeling vulnerability. Jeff also shares how environment and friendships shape kids’ futures, why schools must shift from system-centered to student-centered models, and how his two-year program builds lifelong skills in mindset, habits, reframing, leadership, and entrepreneurship.

If you’ve ever wondered how to better prepare your kids for both the challenges and opportunities of life, this conversation will leave you inspired and equipped with actionable insights.
