Welcome to the Pretty and Punk Podcast, hosted by entrepreneurial power couple Ildiko Ferenczi and Dan Caldwell. In this episode, we're diving into a revolutionary approach to modern parenting and entrepreneurship, integrating the two to create stronger family bonds, resilient children, and lasting legacies.

Did you know that families who worked together in the days of family businesses not only had stronger relationships but also raised more successful children? By sharing goals and responsibilities, they built empires and passed down values that stood the test of time.

We'll explore why integrating parenthood and entrepreneurship is transformative, from teaching kids responsibility and leadership to fostering a legacy mindset that prepares them for life's challenges. We'll also dive into the historical context of family businesses, discuss the benefits of blending work and family in today's world, and share actionable strategies to make it work for your family—like setting shared goals, involving your kids in meaningful ways, and creating boundaries to balance work and home life.

If you're a parent entrepreneur or dreaming of building something bigger with your family, this episode is packed with inspiration, practical tips, and therapist-backed insights to help you raise thriving children while building your empire.

Tune in and discover how you can transform your family dynamic into a new model for success. Because it's not about perfection, it's about connection.

[00:00:00] But I feel that's why you're working so hard to give your family freedom, but you don't really have freedom. So why not create something with your family? Uh, no. Ooh, that's better, right babe?

[00:00:28] She founded an architectural concrete company. He founded a hundred million dollar clothing company. She took the world by storm as a social media star. He took the world by storm as a famous serial entrepreneur. Together we started a business. And had babies. Now we're figuring out the best ways to do both. Join us as we learn from other entrepreneurs going through the same life struggles. As they share their life hacks about success, love, kids. And everything in between.

[00:00:57] If you don't build your business, someone else will hire you to build theirs. Imagine what that would feel like. I didn't get there by wishing for it or hoping for it. I got there by working for it. Welcome to this week's Pretty and Punk Entrepreneur Parents Podcast. I'm Dan Caldwell and I'm here with my beautiful wife and my daughter.

[00:01:24] Il di conferenzi and beautiful little destiny. We're in the house and we got another great podcast for you. It's something that's near and dear to our heart. And why are we talking about it this week? Because we have a, we have, we have this great series going on that, but we decided to take a short break from that series. Divorce proofing your marriage. Within our community and we've been having a lot of people talking about it. I just thought it might be fun to switch it up.

[00:01:53] Not talk about divorce so much because we're all working really hard and applying all those steps that we've been talking about week to week. And we just wanted to take a special little break and talk about what's the, what's the title of this one? Well, it's about, it's just about building empires with your children and your family, because that's what this podcast is all about. And it's just near and dear to our hearts. Yeah, it is. Because we believe that it is possible.

[00:02:22] And there's so many people out there that I don't feel like are living the life that they are meant to live and the life that they want to live. I feel like a lot of people are just treading through the job, but they haven't fulfilled their God given destiny. And I feel like when you have that destiny within your heart, because when a husband and a wife come together, they become one.

[00:02:50] And there's so much in this world of today that is pulling everyone apart. Even the way that the schools are set up, the sports are set up, you know, everybody's pulled in different directions. And I just wanted to, to state this fact. Did you know that in the days of family businesses, divorce rates were lower or even unheard of and children were more successful.

[00:03:19] Families that worked together, shared goals and built legacies. That's, that's, that's where it was. And I feel like, yes, there's a lot of things pulling you apart, but the people that understand this, it's a whole different thing. For example, and there's a lot of controversy behind, you know, this, this new type of life. A lot of people are going off grid.

[00:03:49] They're starting. They just, they want, because you're working so hard, right? You're working hard. You have your job, you're growing apart. And then what you're supposed to enjoy it all at 65. No. Why don't you find something, for example, like the ballerina farm? I was just going to say there's a lot of controversy. People don't. But before we jump into that. Hey guys, we hope you're enjoying today's episode of the Pretty and Punk podcast.

[00:04:18] And if you are, and you haven't already hit that liked and subscribe button, it just takes a second. It means so much to us because it really helps the podcast get out there to more listeners like you guys. And if you know anybody, it might help and you can send it to them. We really appreciate that too. We also love and appreciate your reviews. Even the babies look forward to them every day. If you share this episode on social media today, don't forget to tag us.

[00:04:44] We want to celebrate you because we know it's not easy being a parent in business and the way that you juggle things makes you a superhero. That's worth a shout out. Together, we have a community of our personal followers as well. And we just want to put it out there. We want to show everybody that this juggle is possible and you are our family. And we're so proud and grateful to have you a part of this family.

[00:05:11] So don't forget the, all the links are below in the show notes. And thank you again. And let's get back to the show. So for example, the ballerina farms like us and several other examples, they've decided to create something with their family. But it's interesting that there is some pushback.

[00:05:34] Some people don't like the idea, but I feel that's why you're working so hard to give your family freedom, but you don't really have freedom. So why not create something with your family? Why wouldn't other people like the idea? Who's saying they don't like the idea? I think it's the best idea. I mean, I'm just saying that there's that. That's what everybody's working towards. Anyway, I agree.

[00:06:02] Not everybody can do it, but you can implement those things in your life. So like I've seen people, well, like Grant Cardone's a good example. He's got a business that isn't based around his kids or I mean, it's a real estate business, but he can introduce his kids to what he's doing. Well, I haven't gotten to that part yet. They're getting a lot of pushback.

[00:06:26] For the ballerina farms, they didn't have their kids are actually milking cows and you know, so they can actually be a part of it. There's nothing unique. So what are people not, what are they hating on? They're hating that she's doing this. They're saying she's overworked. And I, this is what I wanted to get to is a lot of the comments that are coming in are from people that aren't there yet.

[00:06:54] I feel like things change just like it changed for us. When we were single, life was different. And maybe it, looking at someone else's kids misbehaving or, you know, seeing that those parents don't have freedom or they have to watch, I don't know, baby shows and stuff all the time. They may get this bad taste in their mouth saying, I don't want to have a family.

[00:07:21] I don't want kids and I don't want to be cooking in the kitchen all day. And, you know, so you have these negative comments coming back. That's where the negative pushback is coming. But once you have the marriage and you get married to someone that you actually love, because let's, let's be honest, you need to work really hard to find someone that is going to be a good match for you. Once you have the children.

[00:07:49] I keep thinking people are looking at them, they think it's going to be easy or something. No, it's not. It's not going to be easy, but it's going to be worth it. I mean, life isn't easy. And just remember how much you love them because you will go head to head and toe to toe.

[00:08:15] But once you find the love of your life and you have babies with that person, I'm telling you that things are going to change. I make everything from scratch. I've never fed my kids microwave food. They've never had a goldfish. They've never had a Dorito. They've never like, I am so deep in it. I will do everything and anything. And maybe people want to hate on me.

[00:08:42] Oh, she's working extra hard and her house is spotless. And I just, this, there's something that's come over me that is just different. Like I want to give everything to my family and, um, and I enjoy it. I love cooking for everybody. I love seeing their beautiful, shiny faces and shiny hair. It's not always easy. I think, yeah. But there's this energy that as mothers. Because it can be hard and somebody looking from the outside, looking in.

[00:09:12] Right, right. They're like, I'd rather just get doored out. She's cooking and she's doing this. She's a slave. And it's gotta be so hard. Yeah, she looks like a slave. Like a slave. And because the bell, right. They're going to think I'm a slave her. Driver. Driver because I'm, cause you're working like this, but you want to do this. I do want to. And you enjoy the outcome. I do. Because my kids are never sick. Um, for me, my life is very different since what, what we've gone through.

[00:09:39] And we did have a family business before this. We had the collectibles business, but then it changed again when we got the worst news of our lives. And we decided, listen, it can't be perfect for everybody. People are going through, and this is, this is our business. Well, and COVID happened also too. Right, right. And we can't, somehow God gave us the idea to do the podcast and start talking to other.

[00:10:06] It was so foreign and people didn't really want to talk about their wives or their children. And then we'd find the occasional couple or family that is working together and we'd give them a voice. This is when we were still doing, um, interviews and we are going to do them again this year. The producers promised us that we're going to be allowed to do it, but, um, it's okay. Everything's a blessing and everything works out.

[00:10:34] They really wanted to focus on Dan and I, and it's been really, really growing the podcast. And now we have an even better, uh, what is it called? Like a, a spotlight to put people that you may not have ever heard of them and they get to share their story of their journey and what they're doing because what we're doing is totally different. Everyone in their story. I mean, I love this story. Everybody does things different. How did they fall into this?

[00:11:01] I know how we fell in through and it was through tragedy and it became the biggest blessing. And people were reaching out saying, I want to include my family. I don't want to spend time and travel with my family when I'm 65. My kids will have their own kids. They're doing their own thing. I'm not going to be able to spend time with them. Like I could have, if I could have just gone back and created that family business with them.

[00:11:28] And all the valuable lessons that you can teach them along the way. I mean, I can remember being like seven years old in my, in my grandparents, uh, machine shop and just like being so interested in how they ran the shop and all the things that they were doing. And my dad who was, uh, ran it with my grandfather and my uncle.

[00:11:54] And I would just, I wanted to know everything about the shop and how it worked and what they did and who they were making parts for. And it was just so exciting to me and understanding that I know planted a seed for what I was going to do it, you know, later down the road. Yeah. And I think that so many people, they get caught up having to make a living and they go get

[00:12:19] a job and it leads to their, to, to being secluded and their family being at home, you know, their wife being at home with the kids and they're at, at the office doing what they're doing. And there is, it's never been a better time to figure out how to do something, whether you incorporate your family into what you're doing or building a family business together.

[00:12:45] It's never been a better time to do something like that. And so many people are not taking advantage of it and it's possible. It's something that you guys can actually do. There's people building a, uh, a family by, uh, by running a farm and just documenting everything. There's people. And that's not unique because my grandparents did that. They had. Yeah. It's not unique. It's filling it is the part that's actually making them the money.

[00:13:13] So you could not only now you have multiple streams of income. I know this is diversifying a little bit because you actually have the farm that makes money by selling milk or dairy products or whatever you're making or, or, or, or, or meat. And now you can also film it and make money from YouTube next week. And you're making money from YouTube and all the other places that you're, you're producing this stuff. And you have a podcast and you're making

[00:13:41] money off your podcast. There's so many different ways to make money now doing these types of things that if you, if you have something on your heart and you believe that you have a bigger purpose, a purpose that's, that you're meant for more, not only you, but your family too, you need to figure out how to start moving in that direction. You don't have to quit your job tomorrow to start it. We, we firmly believe that

[00:14:08] it doesn't always mean quitting your job. It means starting to move in that direction, figuring out how you're going to start to, to build what you're trying to build and have a plan and start. You just got to start. It's important. And when we first started this podcast, we didn't know where to start. We thought we were, it was COVID. And so we really couldn't have anybody come into our office and we

[00:14:36] had to look at it was before, it was before, but we were looking at podcast studios. And when we actually started, we couldn't go to the podcast studio because COVID was just starting. So we didn't, we didn't know how we were going to deal with COVID and having a podcast too. So we just decided to start from home. Let's do our podcast from home. Yeah. And, and it worked out and things will work out.

[00:15:00] You may not know how at first, but you'll figure it out. Yes, exactly. So, I mean, historically, it's always been successful. It's built legacies and it's built wealth. The wealth stayed within your family and that, I feel like that's exactly where we are again. It's like, it's coming full circle again. And the modern benefits of this is, I feel there's a lot of mothers and fathers feeling

[00:15:30] that guilt of working. Well, now if you include your children, they can, you don't have to miss out the time with them. You are spending time with them every day, teaching them the ropes of the business. And perhaps, perhaps they may start their own thing later on, or they may take the reins. I know I wanted to take the reins of my mother's jewelry store and we had several different businesses.

[00:16:00] We were, we were flipping homes, renting homes before it was even popular. I think I was telling you about it. We had a home right on the lake that we bought for an incredible price and we just cleaned up the inside. And because it was literally a five, five minute walk. And we just did this five minute

[00:16:24] walk to the lake. It was a freshwater, warm lake to swim in. It was unique. God's not making any more waterfront properties. So she was making, she was just such a smart woman. She had her fingers in everything and always had these great business ideas. So for me growing up, that was really, really important to taste all these different... It's how you come up with all these great ideas

[00:16:48] because you, you, you were, you were, you were exposed to this and now you, you know, that you have the same type of concepts that you're always working through and always coming up with. Don't talk about it yet, but we all, we have another, we have another idea. No, but it's, it's a good one and it's a fun one. And it's, it's a little, like you just get ahead of the curve

[00:17:13] and all of a sudden opportunities, ideas will come. And this is the thing I have, when you have, when you have something, you can do something with it. I'm telling you, you have things in your garage that you can sell. For example, my mom had a lot of antiques after her, sadly, you know, my mom and dad got divorced and they needed a podcast like this. So please encourage people to

[00:17:41] listen to this and others like it, but she had a lot of antiques. So that was her first business, the antique business. And it was very successful. That's how she met the mayor and her attorneys and because they liked special things. They would come into her store and she was rubbing shoulders with the right people. And then it turned into the jewelry store and just all these different ideas.

[00:18:06] And I was there, my brother was there. We were there every step of the way, learning all these different ideas. I saw this thing online. I only caught it for a second because I was jumping on, on the plane. But they, it was, you might've caught it too. It was a, it was, remember some of those coffee shops where they have little playgrounds for the kids at the coffee shop? Yeah. Kids can

[00:18:31] playground, but it was, it looked like it was a, like a, a school, like a preschool. Didn't I share it? Didn't I share it? Maybe you shared it. Is that what it was? I shared it in our story. Oh, okay. I knew I saw it somewhere. Yes. And it was like a school, like a preschool or something. It was what we were talking about. But you could work there too. So you got to be close to your kids because you're working, you're doing what you're, what you know, whatever you're working on. Where we live in Vancouver, British Columbia, they have a lot of these, but it wasn't as big

[00:18:58] as the one that I found in Texas. So what I loved, um, or what I love in Vancouver, British Columbia, we have a lot of different places where it's a coffee shop or you can have tea if you don't drink coffee. I don't drink coffee. I like matcha and I like teas and they have foods and snacks and healthy things. But they have a playground there for the kids. But they have a playground and you can literally

[00:19:23] do your work and the little ones can play and it's, it's open concept. It is the smartest business idea. I think if Daniel always says, you need to open, you need to open a coffee shop. You need to open a restaurant. Mom, he loves my cooking, which I'm feeling very blessed about that. Cause I know not

[00:19:46] everybody would like, I mean, you know, when we were in Utah, we were like, how does, how does people, how do people not, how are these not everywhere in Utah? Yeah. Like there's so many kids in Utah. I expected to see, I know, but, but I'm more, I mean, I totally expected it to be in Utah. Like how does Utah not have, well, they don't drink so much coffee in Utah, but right. But you,

[00:20:14] you know, there are coffee shops. So how are they not coffee shop with these kids playgrounds incorporated? You know what it needs to be? It's funny. Cause we were just there. Now we're back. But when we were there, I always see these soda places. So maybe it has to be a soda. I think it's called Fizz or something like that. Soda with a playground, something like that. Maybe that would be. No, we need a coffee shop. Well, I can't drink soda, but yeah. Yeah. It's like,

[00:20:43] we want to sit down and get some work done when the kids were little, you know, have them playing. I love it. We're getting a lot of work done. We're enjoying our time. We can still look over there, play a little bit, get on there ourselves and, you know, enjoy some time together. And they get to see what we're doing and the value of hard work. You know, that could be a good family business. Oh, it's a great family business. Because you have your own kids there. Yeah. That would be so fun. Oh my gosh. If you guys started. Don't get no ideas. We already have

[00:21:11] enough business ideas. Don't get no more ideas. We don't have no more room for ideas. Oh my gosh. I have so many ideas. If you want ideas, you can even start a business right on your front lawn. Literally there, everywhere, all over Vancouver, BC, um, all everywhere. There's a sourdough bread. They have these little shacks that they, well, shacks, that doesn't sound very attractive,

[00:21:36] does it? But they have these where it's called front door pickup, front door pickup, and you just sell it right from your front step. I remember when I was a little girl, my mom's like, we have to buy another lot and we have to have a little ice cream stand. And she had these ideas and now they're popular. Now this is what's happening. I just told a family to start this because their

[00:22:03] little girl, she was baking sourdough. And a lot of people don't want to waste the time. You can get junk food and sugary, you know, garbage anytime. But I mean, if my neighbor was baking the, the sourdough, I would get it. I mean, as, as long as they didn't, you know, it was a clean environment. You should really check the environment, make sure, check the environment and they're doing

[00:22:27] everything right. But they had this little, they build these little houses. It's like a tiny home. It's like a tiny home, but it, it displays your bread so beautifully. And it's like a front door pickup. But that's what my mom wanted for ice cream when I was little. There's never a shortage of ideas. There's only people who don't want to start. And there, I mean,

[00:22:54] even if I was watching this video of these, this guy who was doing, have you seen these people like go, they garage sale hop and they like buy stuff and resell it. They resell it on eBay. They buy it at a garage sale for a dollar and sell it on eBay for like 12. Um, so they were doing this, but he was doing it with his kids. His whole family was there. Did he go door to door and just collect stuff to sell for people? No, no, no. He was going, he was going to yard sales and buying stuff at the yard sale. To resell it. To resell it on eBay.

[00:23:23] Yes. Oh my gosh. Because on eBay he can get a premium dollar for it because people were actually looking for those things. That's hilarious. So he has his whole family with them. They're over there. We did that. You know, the kids are like interested in the toy stuff. They're like, oh dad, do you think we can resell this for this? And mom's looking at, so mom was looking at like, um, uh, some

[00:23:45] like, uh, uh, uh, Disneyland figurines and dad's looking at, uh, video games and you know, because they resell video games for a good price and baseball cards and the kids are looking at these toys. So they all had, so they're all there together, garage sale, hopping in on the weekend and you know, I don't know if it's an extra business or if it's actually what they do, but they were filming it for their YouTube channel too.

[00:24:10] So smart because that's what brings back memories is my mom had her initial antiques that she had in the house. But what we would do on the weekends is when we didn't, we weren't making a lot of money yet. We were going to the garage sales and my brother was reading books. David, the one that passed the amazing one that was just the spine of our family, the father figure,

[00:24:35] he would be reading these books about pocket watches. Um, what else? Uh, of course my mom knew her Royal Dalton and stuff. So we were always looking for the Royal Dalton and the different, uh, Chinas, fine Chinas and the different things that we would study that we knew was worth a fortune. And they were literally selling stuff for 25 cents a dollar for the whole set. Like they were just

[00:25:03] trying to clear it out because grandma or grandpa passed away and they were just trying to get everything out of the house because it was old clutter, but it was treasure. We would treasure hunt every weekend, but that's what she would say. Let's go treasure hunting guys. And then when we had a little bit more money, we would go to the auctions and then we would get really great pieces of antiques.

[00:25:28] So that still stimulates my brain. I just love it all. And I just think that wouldn't it be great to include your kids in whatever you're doing? Do you have a farm? Include them. We have the podcast. We include them. When we had the collectible business, we included that we include them in everything. Even if it's a business that doesn't feel like you could include your, you know, it doesn't have to be that garage sale business where it feels a little bit like kids could be involved.

[00:25:55] It could be a business that literally doesn't feel like you can involve your kids, but you teach them about it. Real estate. Real estate. Real estate's a great example of where most people would think, oh, my kid's not going to want to know about real estate because... But you make it fun for them. Yes, you make it fun and you show them, you go, you bring them to go look at a house. That's treasure hunting too. What did you love about it? It is because you're looking for a great house deal.

[00:26:21] Yes. And then also if you're building just sometimes the little eyes and ears, they bring a blessing to your business. For example, I know that the, or actually I don't know, but the Gottmans, I just have to bring this example up because they still use this example from a little four-year-old

[00:26:48] when their daughter was four years old. I think she is sounded like she was complaining about why are you guys always at the love lab? Why are you helping all these couples? Why are you doing that? And then I can't, I can't remember the story exactly word for word, but the gist of it is that they were helping mommies and daddies to not fight anymore. And how do you think it would feel if mommy and

[00:27:18] daddies were fighting and they didn't know how to fight properly or resolve the problems? Well, she said, well, that would mean there's no rainbows in the house. And they just thought that that was just so powerful from a little four-year-old to say that because you're going to have the storms, but if you can't get through the storms, how are you to get to the rainbows? So sometimes the things

[00:27:47] that our little babies tell us, it's an example that you're going to use for the rest of your life, just a tiny little opinion from a fresh, beautiful, innocent mind, it can spark something within you. I know my mom would say that she got a lot of her best ideas from us. And I almost found that hard to believe because I'm like, well, you're the adult, you're the one that makes everything happen.

[00:28:13] But she would literally sit us down and we would collaborate and we would talk and she would make us feel important. And I will never forget that because when they're gone, that legacy lives on and it gets passed on because the way that they made or the way she made me and my brother feel, my brother, sadly, he can't take it on, but I know how he felt. And I know the things that he encouraged me with.

[00:28:40] I encourage my children with those same things. And I know that it's going to keep moving forward. Yeah. I mean, it's already working that way. You, your mom passed it on to you. You're passing it on to our children. And they're so excited about it. Yeah. And we, and, and you know what, we can't tell our kids and we, we've said this on the show before. We can't tell our kids to chase their dreams.

[00:29:04] If we're not chasing our dreams and tracing our, our purpose. And we want them to find their God given purpose. And so we have to show them by example. And if we're not doing something, if you're not doing something to, to whether that might be just a side hustle, it might not be the one thing that you can do that you can do right now, because maybe you are feeling some pressure

[00:29:32] because you have bills and, and you got to keep a roof over your family's head and you got to put food on the table, but that you can start working in that direction. Yes. And it gives them a sense of purpose. I feel in belonging, you're spending the time with them. That's all they want. That's all they want. They want your time to be together. It's the most important thing. They're not going to feel isolated or disconnected. And they're learning something.

[00:29:57] They're learning, you know, they're learning how to problem solve and they can apply that problem solving and, um, those ideas to different things in their life, to their family, to how to resolve conflict, how to treat. I am so lucky that I learned my mom would teach me how when, when a steamy customer,

[00:30:20] let's just call them a steamy customer would come in all angry. She was so wonderful at turning them into her best friend. Like that was her mission. She's, you never, the customer is always right. Yeah. Always right. You're much better at that than me. And I would like, there's people that get, I don't know. I've seen it even at Target and I'm like, you're not doing it right. Why are you yelling at them? You make them your best friend and they'll be

[00:30:50] your customer for life. And that was a beautiful thing in the jewelry store because she was going against all these big jewelry, like these chains of jewelry stores. And the girls would come in these cute 18, 19 year olds. Oh, our boss made us come down to see what Etty's doing because

[00:31:12] somehow you keep taking our clients. So they'd come and spy on our business. But my mom would make homemade pastries. She would offer them coffee. She would make friends with everybody and they would come back. They'd buy the engagement ring. Don't worry about it. It's okay. If she loves you, you guys can build, she would give them life advice about how they could build something great

[00:31:39] together. Don't worry about the size of the diamond. You guys have each other come back in five years and you could buy a bigger one. They'd come back in two and they'd tell them to, they tell my mom the success story and they'd buy a bigger rock and then a bigger rock. And then the, the anniversary gifts, and then they'd buy the baby gifts, the little baby rings and the baby

[00:32:01] anklets. And she was so good at it. And I was serving customers at seven and a half years old, weighing the jewelry because she did things a little bit differently. So that was interesting for the clients too, to come in and see a little girl helping customers. And it's funny because I didn't feel like I was young and I could kind of see that doubt where they didn't really want to

[00:32:27] deal with me because I was so young. And then as soon as they'd see me use the calculator, come up with the weight of the gold and the price of the gold, they're like, oh, they'd feel comfortable and they'd get warmed up and then they would feel obligated to buy. So it's another thing is that's great enough of having your children in your business. Nobody's going to say no to a child.

[00:32:53] Well, usually not. Yeah. We love having our kids in here. I mean, I think if you guys heard the top of the podcast, you hear their, their quotes and they always love to be a part of the podcast. And I really, I mean, without, I think it would be a different podcast if they weren't a part of it and they weren't doing that. I, I'm, I hope you guys think it's cute. We love, we love hearing it. And I think that having them a part of the podcast makes us different than some, a lot of the other

[00:33:19] podcasts out there. So it separates us and, and I'm sure whatever business you're doing or whatever you're doing in life, your children will make your business different and better in different ways. So it's, it's always, it always happens organically and it kind of just finds its way, but it's always great for your kids when they're learning these life lessons. You, it's, it's always a good thing

[00:33:45] for your kids. I was just talking to a friend the other day and she was saying that her, her good friend, her mom was an attorney, but she would hire her daughter to do modeling. They didn't really use the photos. They use the photos for, um, I don't know, private their, their own thing, but she would hire her daughter to model for the business and she would pay her $26,000 a year. And I mean, I think

[00:34:15] Grant Cardo, I can't remember the number, but you can, you can write this stuff off. They're your employees, your business partners. These are all things that you can do to really have success in your children. Yeah. It's, it's, there's so many great things and we're going to get more into depth in on another episode because we have to make this one quick. We have a business meeting. Well, if we're raving about this guys, it's because it's near and dear to our hearts.

[00:34:41] It's near and dear. And we encourage you, however you can, maybe it's just the modeling section, whatever it is. If you're an influencer, you can include them. You can even give them a salary. Of course, you know, they're your little business partners. We're not giving bookkeeper advice on this show, but. Well, no, no, but it's legit. You look into it. I know. I don't know where you are located. So you have to look into the laws to see exactly how much, because if your business is

[00:35:10] doing really well, you can, you can afford to give them a larger, um, salary and you put it right into the, that way the whole family's employed. That's right. And it just, if anything, it's just going to create an incredible legacy and there's nothing better than that. Yeah. So work on building

[00:35:35] this legacy with your family. It's important and it's, uh, it's life changing and it's life changing for your whole family. And I promise you, your kids will get so much out of it. And I hope you enjoyed today's podcast. Yes. Proverbs 22, six train up a child in the way he should go. And when he is old, he will not depart from it. And I just wanted to remind you guys that it is our responsibility.

[00:36:05] We, that we have as parents to equip our children for the future, not just spiritually, but in every aspect of life. And this is one of the best ways to do it, include them in the business. And if you're in that pivot, include them in the pivot. I'm telling you, you just dip their feet into it a little bit and see what happens. If they hate it, obviously there's not much you can do, but I can't

[00:36:34] imagine that being the case. God bless you all. And thank you for joining us. Don't forget, don't forget to listen next week.
