Chris Lautenslager—How to Teach Your Employees to Make You More Money Oct 23, 2023

You have to be profitable to keep your business running. But instead of hustling after the money, what if there was an even higher priority that you might be missing? And what if it determined the future of your business?

Ditching College for Cash Flow: How My 20-Year-Old Son Bet on Himself and Made His First Deal Sep 25, 2023

Show notes

As a parent, I know you'd love for your kids to own a business so they can control their financial future. But you're not sure how to guide them towards financial independence—especially if no one ever taught you money, business, and success skills.

Today is a special bonus episode of the Good Money podcast with my son Conner. He chose not to go to college and start real estate investing instead. I told him when he bought his first property that I'd bring him on the show to share with you how he did it. And at 20 years old, he just did his first deal and bought a duplex!

Today, Conner reveals the big decision he made that seemed crazy and how he went from not knowing much about real estate to creating his first deal. Plus, how he's responded when people question him and how he's built relationships with some of the biggest investors in south Texas. And what it's like to run a business while your friends are still in college.

Conner shares some practical insights that might be really helpful to hear as a parent. If you're eager to see your kids flourish financially and grow into independent, successful entrepreneurs, then this episode is for you.
