A bi-weekly podcast that examines how working with teenagers can make us better versions of ourselves: better teachers, better counselors, better parents…better people. Join two of Whetstone Boys Ranch's co-founders, Axel Liimatta and Brandon Maxwell, as they discuss what twenty years of serving struggling teenagers and their families has taught them about how to address the most challenging of behaviors. You'll find answers without dogma, encouragement without false hope, and sharpening without shame.

    FAQ’s: Part Two will address some of the questions that come out around the kitchen table at 11:30 at night: Is this place actually professional… or just a ranch with a nice logo? What kind of boys are there? And is my kid going to get better—or learn a few new tricks I don’t want him learning?

    In this episode we get into the nuts and bolts: who runs the program day to day, how boys are grouped, how conflict is handled, how we communicate with parents, and what people really mean when they say a program is “therapeutic.”

    Join us this week on A Time to Sharpen as we provide some straight answers to help you decide whether Whetstone Boys Ranch is the right fit for your son and your family.
