Fourteen-year-old boys face a tricky gap every June—too old for camp, too young for a job, and just bored enough to default to hours of gaming. Evan Hempe knows the feeling firsthand: he grew up without video games or a smartphone, and in this episode he shares the real list of what filled his summers instead. Funny, candid, and packed with stories from his own backyard, Evan makes the case that a great summer isn't about avoiding screens, it's about going toward something better.
In this episode, Evan covers:
Why a skill you can never "finish" (music, woodworking, cooking) beats a game that never ends
How starting a small business at 14 builds confidence adults can't teach
The difference between consuming and creating and why people respect both
Why his most vivid memories are from creeks, ballfields, and rained-out camping trips, not screens
Whether you're a parent looking for ideas or a teen wondering what to do with three open months, this episode is the blueprint for a summer worth remembering.
