Are we raising kids who wait… or kids who create?

In this episode, Scott and Angie dive into what it really means to raise a child with an entrepreneurial mindset — not by pushing business ideas, but by developing ownership, initiative, and problem-solving from an early age. They explore how kids naturally start out curious and driven, and ask the tough question: are we unintentionally training that out of them?

Drawing from real-life parenting experiences, leadership lessons, and research-backed insights on growth mindset and independence, they unpack the difference between raising problem-solvers and raising followers.

Angie also shares 6 practical ways to teach entrepreneurial thinking at home, giving parents simple, actionable strategies to build confidence, resilience, and responsibility — without turning childhood into pressure or performance.

This episode is for parents who want to raise kids who take initiative, think for themselves, and create value in the world — whether they start a business or not.
