In this episode of The 10 Talent Life, Alan Irving (Irving Financial Group) sits down with his son Nicholas to talk about the three seasons of life: Strongman, Spotter, and Sage.

Most people spend their whole life building strength, then one day step back and start only giving advice. Alan and Nicholas make the case that skipping the season in between, the Spotter, is quietly costing families the growth that could come from staying engaged.

The conversation gets practical. What does it actually look like to spot an adult child instead of a small one? How do you know if you're still a spotter or if you've drifted into being a distant sage? And why does letting someone struggle, whether it's learning to swim or starting a business, matter more than protecting them from failure?
