Kevin pulls back the curtain on the grooming process, shares how predators infiltrate games like Roblox and Fortnite, and explains why a strong, present father figure is the #1 deterrent to child predators. This episode delivers vital tools, real-world stories, and a framework for men who want to embody the protector archetype in a rapidly evolving digital world. It's not just about fear—it's about informed, masculine leadership that protects the most vulnerable. If you're a father or aspire to be one, this episode is a must-listen.
