E400: Life, Laughs, and LEGOS: Oliver Posner's Take on Success
In this very special episode of #thePOZcast, I’m joined by my 6½-year-old son, Oliver. What happens when a seasoned podcaster hands the mic to a first-grader? You get curiosity, honesty, belly laughs, and a refreshing reminder of what really matters.
Together, we talk about school, Legos, Jujitsu, what makes a good friend, and what Oliver thinks grown-ups sometimes get wrong. It’s an unscripted, unfiltered conversation full of heart—and proof that wisdom can come from the most unexpected places. This one’s for parents, dreamers, and anyone who wants to see the world through a more playful lens.Thanks for hanging with Dad & Ollie!
