Welcome back to the Doug and Thea Unplugged podcast! Today, Doug and Thea reveal the shocking reason they started their own school, Valor Global Online, seven years ago. After returning from an enriching trip to Israel, their kids' school criticized them for not completing homework and falling asleep in class. This pivotal moment led Doug and Thea to create a transformative educational experience that focuses on real-world learning and personal growth.
In this episode, they share their journey of building two successful companies, emphasizing the importance of structure, habits, and organization—even when life gets chaotic. Thea introduces her "Spark Habits" from her book, "Kick Fear in the Face," designed to help families thrive during busy seasons. Discover why hydration, making your bed, daily movement, and setting a solid sleep routine are game-changers. Plus, learn how small steps in prayer, gratitude, and getting out in nature can lead to big transformations in your life.
