What does it take to build an unshakable family culture in today’s fragmented world? Jeremy B Hill, Founder of JB Capital and father of three, has mastered what he playfully calls the “Hill Mafia” – a family dynamic where loyalty to each other trumps all else.
Jeremy shares his journey from unconventional beginnings to creating a tight-knit family unit. Raised primarily by his grandparents after his parents divorced when he was two, Jeremy absorbed the old-school values of his grandfather – a suit-wearing, Tony Bennett-listening gentleman who taught him the importance of manners, integrity, and showing up properly for those you love.
The conversation takes a fascinating turn as Jeremy reveals his innovative “Questions Game” – a no-holds-barred, completely honest exchange of questions that transformed his relationships with his children from merely parent-child to deeply knowing each other as individuals. “My daughter got to know me as more than just her dad. She got to know me as Jeremy,” he explains, highlighting how this vulnerability created unprecedented bonds.
Jeremy makes a powerful distinction between the easy part of fatherhood (loving your kids) and the challenging part (leading them). He believes most fathers need to “up their dad game” by setting standards and helping children navigate decisions rather than just being their buddies. His practical advice includes prioritizing your spouse relationship, being mindful of your habits since “your kids are paying attention more than you realize,” and giving yourself grace while maintaining high expectations.
