Assemble Your Board of Advisors
Inspired by Gibson Biddle episode
Gibson Biddle's board of advisors—people who actually know you—is what you need, not random Instagram parenting gurus.
Gibson Biddle says find people who've already done what you're trying to do. Learn from their mistakes. Assemble a board of advisors.
In parenting, this means finding parents exactly two years ahead of you and asking them everything. Not five years ahead—they've forgotten the trench warfare details. Not one year ahead—they're still shell-shocked. Two years. That's the sweet spot where they remember which specific brand of crackers prevents meltdowns but have enough distance to laugh about it.
Your toddler won't eat vegetables? They know which pediatrician said it's fine and which one made them feel like a monster. Your kid won't sleep? They've got three theories, two of which contradict each other, and they'll share all of them at 11 PM via text.
You need a board of advisors for your chaos. People who've survived what you're currently failing at. The only difference between you and them is they Googled it first.
