![]() I talk with MJ about how we can raise our kids to be aware of the biases in our educational systems, in our political systems, in our media (briefly), and how we can teach our kids that they have options. Even if you create something that is challenging or difficult to create, you do it knowing that you are creating a wealth system that will eventually lead to freedom. When you start seeing the results of your efforts, you will feel passionate about the work you are putting in to create your future. However, the amount of time to create an entrepreneurial system may take five to ten years, as opposed to the forty to fifty years required to create financial "freedom" in a corporate setting. Being an entrepreneur requires work and investing a great deal of time and energy especially at the beginning stages of development. These systems aren't necessarily going to be something that you are passionate about. ![]() These systems can be physical products, digital products, or anything that can be perpetuated or duplicated that you invent or create that brings value and impact to the world around you.

Raising our children to be, and becoming entrepreneurial-minded ourselves, begins with education, namely becoming cognizant of the biases and constructs that make up the "script" or what I like to call the "conveyor belt." When I read MJ's books, I felt like I had just seen the Matrix, and I had just taken the "red pill" and woke up! While it is a good idea to budget, and stay out of debt and be responsible, MJ goes into such detail on how to truly be financially free that it woke me up to a whole new concept of what freedom really is. I don't know if I did the topic justice, but I hope that you will take the time to listen to the whole episode because there are some gems about how to be open-minded about the way our culture at large shapes our mindsets around education, finances, and our day-to-day norms. I normally keep my discussions under forty-five minutes! I guess that just shows how important this discussion is to me. You'll notice this episode is a bit longer than the usual length of my podcast.
