Sparks of Gratitude

Our guest today is the father of four children and has been happily married since 2003, Kirk Chugg. Kirk created a simple curriculum for his sons in 2013 to teach them the qualities and attributes of being a gentleman and the Gentlemen Project was born. Kirk is the cohost of “The Gentlemen Project Podcast, things my father taught me”, and is the author of the book “The Parents Guide to Eating an Elephant, Raising Kids One Principle at a Time.” Kirk counts this work as one of his life’s highest callings and most valuable blessings.
Mr. Kirk emphasizes the value of assisting you in making the most of your time with your children by teaching them the most significant life lessons.
