Build Better Dads
My father is a great man. He raised me. He was present. He was there.
But there are 5 things about money he never taught me — and not because he didn't love me. Because nobody taught him either.
In this video, I share the 5 money lessons my 89-year-old father never taught me, and the 5 lessons I'm teaching my son and daughter so the cycle stops in our family line.
I killed $118,000 in debt without a six-figure salary. Most of that debt came from running my father's broken money playbook for 15 years before I knew it was broken.
Working dads — if your father never sat you down and taught you about money, this video is for you. We were raised by good men who didn't know. The cycle doesn't break by accident. It breaks because one man in the family line decides he's tired of running the same playbook.
Be that man.
