Dr. Forbes Riley

My mom was an only child of a butcher, and I think my grandmother ran dogs in numbers or whatever she did in the lower part of Brooklyn in New York.

And my mom wanted to be my friend and my sister's friend.

She never wanted us to get along.

She didn't do it purposely because she was a very sad person.

And so I said when I had kids, and I had mine at 42, that I was going to raise my kids by design, and I did.

And I would love to write the book on that.

I have a way to get kids to share that nobody does.

I have a way to get kids to clean their room.

Okay, here's a great example of why pitching is so important.

How do you get your kids to clean their room?

You know what you did?

Pitched her.

Pitching is getting a yes.

If I said to you, you want to see something cool, what are you going to say to me?

Absolutely.

That's a yes.

That's a pitch.

Well, then it's another conversation, but I'm not for today.

Might be a little hesitant.

So most people, my mother yelled, if you don't clean your room, you're not going to give up.
