THINGS WE DISCUSS IN THIS EPISODE

  1. The role that misinformation and disinformation plays in keeping people from creating wealth and how exposure to wealth really opened Craig’s eyes to the discrepancies of how rich kids grow up with a mindset that is tuned to wealth creation. 
  2. How intellectual curiosity and learning how to ask better questions fueled Craig's entrepreneurial mindset and helped him to recognize patterns that have helped him stay nimble in business and to strategically plan for the future.
  3. How serving in the Peace Corps prepared Craig to be the entrepreneur of his own life, why it's a great path to entrepreneurship, what parents can do to foster an entrepreneurial mindset and how technology can either be a hindrance or an effective tool in developing entrepreneurial skills and thought authority in a teen's area of interest.

 So listen in as we discuss all these topics and so much more.
