So here's a question every parent should be asking: who's influencing my kid?
Their teacher? Their coach? Their friends? Their youth pastor? The music they listen to? The things they’re watching online?
Because everyone is an influencer now. And we’re all influencing—and being influenced—every single day.
Being a YouTube star isn’t even a pipe dream anymore. Arizona State University now offers a four-year degree program in Content Creation, designed to turn social media fame into a sustainable profession—teaching things like content strategy, video editing and algorithms.
I know there’s money to be made on social media, but what we should be asking is Who decides HOW they're influencing? Who is guiding their lives off-camera and teaching integrity and authenticity.

The number 1 author on leadership John C. Maxwell said “An influencer does two things: one, has integrity with people. Number two, nurtures people.”
With influence comes responsibility.
It's not just about being popular, it's about having character and making other people better... Whether you have 10 followers or 10 million.
