Episode Description from the Publisher

What if the skills your child needs most… aren’t being taught in school? In this episode, we sit down with Leah Ellis, founder of The Society of Child Entrepreneurs, to explore how entrepreneurship can become one of the most powerful tools for raising confident, resilient, and capable kids. We dive into: What “child entrepreneurship” really looks like in everyday life Why traditional learning methods often miss the mark for real-world readiness Simple ways parents can introduce business thinking and money skills at home How family culture shapes a child’s confidence, risk-taking, and resilience The deeper transformation kids experience when they’re trusted to lead You’ll also hear about Leah’s Ignite. Empower. Lead. curriculum and her Astra & Zeke book series—resources designed to help kids grow into thoughtful leaders, especially in communities navigating real-world challenges. If you want to raise a child who thinks creatively, leads confidently, and isn’t afraid to try (and try again), this conversation is for you.
