Let's Be Better

Mothers and Fathers Truly Matter

Welcome to Let’s Be Better! I’m Bobby Brandzen, father of five great kids. I believe that one of our greatest responsibilities as a society is to provide children with the nurturing guidance they deserve. Moms—dads—everybody, our children flourish when we give them our best, because their future is shaped by our presence. We’re all far from perfect. Let’s give ourselves grace. Let’s have faith. Let’s pay attention to our daily habits. Let’s be better.Let’s live inspired.Let’s break cycles, build bridges, and raise the next generation with love, intentionality, and purpose. Growth starts inside—in what we think, what we say, and what we do.Our habits form our character, and our character shapes our destiny. Becoming better means choosing grace over guilt, discipline over comfort, and purpose over distraction. Let’s live with a commitment to self-improvement. Family is sacred. It’s where attitudes are born, habits are formed, character is shaped, and values are passed on.Our children don’t need perfection; they need our presence, our patience, and our example. How we live today becomes the legacy they carry tomorrow. Let’s live with a commitment to being the best parents we can be for our children. Faith isn’t just a Sunday thing; it’s a daily walk—trusting when we don’t understand, obeying when it’s hard, and loving when it’s inconvenient. When we anchor ourselves in our faith, everything aligns. Let’s open our hearts, listen for His voice, and let Him shape us from the inside out.Let’s live with a commitment to God.

    E5 - Chris Papin - 168 Hours & Behaving Like a Business Owner

    In this episode of Let’s Be Better, we sit down with Chris Papin, CPA and licensed attorney, to discuss his new book “168 Hours: A Startup Business Guide That Respects Your Time: A Smarter Way to Start, Structure, and Scale a Small Business.” Chris shares insights from his experience as both an attorney and CPA, explaining how entrepreneurs can approach business ownership with structure, discipline, and a smarter use of their time. The conversation centers around a simple idea: everyone has the same 168 hours each week, and how those hours are used determines whether a business becomes sustainable or overwhelming. Chris breaks down how new and aspiring entrepreneurs can start and scale a business while respecting their time, avoiding common structural mistakes, and building a foundation that supports long-term growth. We also discuss the mindset shift required to truly behave like a business owner, from financial organization to strategic planning. Chris is also the host of the BLABO – Behave Like A Business Owner Podcast, where he helps entrepreneurs develop the habits and systems needed to run successful businesses.

    Pilot: Let's Be Better - Jimmy Murray

    Welcome to Let’s Be Better. Our greatest responsibility as a society is to give every child the nurturing guidance they deserve. Children thrive when moms, dads—all of us—show up with our best. This space was born from a hard truth: too often, systems meant to protect families end up dividing them. But this podcast isn’t just about what’s broken. It’s about who we can become. It’s about grace—for ourselves and for each other. It’s about reclaiming what truly matters. It’s about faith—the belief that even in a complicated world, ordinary people can create extraordinary change. Let’s be better. Let’s live inspired. Let’s break cycles, build bridges, and raise the next generation with love, intentionality, and purpose. Today, we’re kicking off our very first episode with someone who embodies what this movement is all about. We’re sitting down with Jimmy Murray— entrepreneur, real estate investor, and proud Rhode Island native whose story is a testament to betting on yourself. Jimmy walked away from a secure career at Fidelity Investments to build Lyon Property Group, and he never looked back. He stepped out in faith, embraced the unknown, and turned vision into impact, not just in business, but in the lives of the people around him. What makes Jimmy’s voice especially important today is his heart for families. He serves as a director on the board of Mothers and Fathers Truly Matter. Jimmy believes, as we do, that strong families are the foundation of a strong society and that every child deserves two parents who show up. Jimmy is not just here to talk success. He’s here to talk about the responsibility we all share to become better for the next generation.
