From drop shipping dynamos to social media moguls, from affiliate marketing champions to e-commerce emperors, from SEO wizards to sales funnel design and strategy artisans, from AI innovators to Ad masters, from course creating kings to coaches with the most, we extract the actionable insights that can accelerate any teen's journey to getting started on their path to financial independence using the internet to make money!

Each episode ends with a challenge to our guests: How can YOU use your unique skills, passions, and knowledge to lift up the next generation with the skills and resources you have. This isn't another "motivational" podcast. This is your wake-up call to parents wanting to guide their teens to building real wealth while they’re young enough to compound it into generational wealth and use it to make a difference.

    Nate and I had the opportunity to have Preston Anderson on the podcast!  He is an expert accountant who works mainly with business owners and internet entrepreneurs. As a W2 employee, taxes are pretty straight forward, but a business owner/entrepreneur has a maze of ways to save on your taxes, and Preston is a genius when it comes to saving business owners thousands of dollars! Whether it's making sure you have the right business structure, focusing on long term investments, maximizing your credit and how you apply for loans, Preston has got you! He can even look at past returns to see if you can receive any "retroactive savings!!" He and his wife are raising 3 awesome kids and teaching them how to invest and make it a habit! I saw some of the stuff they are doing with the kids and it's super cool! Preston made it really clear on this episode what a "Time Billionaire" is. He also covered what the best way to invest as a teen. Do you know how much a teen can make before needing to file taxes on earnings? He covers it! Do you know when a teen should create an LLC if they are thinking of starting a business? He covers it! Do you know the BEST THING you can do for your teen to help them build their credit?

    Introducing Nate for the first time on The Prodigy Kid Podcast! - Episode 68

    The Prodigy Kid Podcast has just taken a turn for the better!  In 2016 I was down 75lbs battling a SEVERE health issue, and almost died one morning when I was trapped on the bathroom floor for 4 hours. A "miracle healing" with a frequency machine (FSM - Frequency Specific Micro-current) I got a second chance to be a dad because my time was literally running out! Since then I've been OBSESSED with giving my son a HIGH LEVEL entrepreneurship education. Between me teaching him 1 on 1, going to CRAZY business events, him reading, going through courses, and listening to Russell Brunson's podcast everyday, he has gotten a "Bonus Education."  In our "The Ultimate Lemonade Stand" program that Nate is working through and helping me develop, he has passed level 1 and has a good grasp at level 2.  This means he did the most basic form of making money enough times to get good at it, flipping water to a thirsty crowd, and has enough insight and training in the level 2, professional lawn service to start a lawn business at 18 and be at $100K+ per year by his 20th birthday if he chose to do that. Now he is ready for level 3 which is the online world. This is where it starts to get CRAZY, and he is joining me as a co-host to document what he is up to, and become a REALLY GOOD podcast host/interviewer! Nate, WELCOME TO THE SHOW!!!

    The Teen Mastermind with Malcolm and Olga Keith - Episode 67

    This was one of my favorite episodes so far! Olga and her husband Larry have raised their son Malcom and daughter Vera in the family business and at one point made the decision to go to business events as a family.  Being homeschooled allowed them to take their kids to many events exposing their kids to some of the top business minds in the world at a young age! In the beginning they were the only kids at these events. As more and more entrepreneur parents brought their kids to these events, Malcom, a true entrepreneur at heart, would meet other kids at these events but would be bummed out that they would have to wait until the next event to see his entrepreneur friends again. That's when he had the idea to create, "The Teen Mastermind!" Nate and I got to experience this first hand at "Funnel Hacking Live" where he had multiple masterminds and brought together DOZENS of teens at the event to get to know each other and mastermind together! Malcolm and "The Teen Mastermind" even hosted a ROUND TABLE at the event along side a bunch of BIG NAMES in the Clickfunnels world! The Teen Mastermind has since evolved into something much bigger! There are now 2 weekly mastermind meetups, and he is bringing in some HIGHLY successful people to meet with them and do Q & A's. Russell Brunson, Myron Golden, Eileen Wilder, Kristine Mirelle and MANY others have all been guests to The Teen Mastermind! Malcom is a "Certified Funnel Builder", an AVID student of entrepreneurship, is involved in several high level coaching programs and is on to SOMETHING BIG! If you have an entrepreneur teen and would like to get them around other teens, to be exposed to high level entrepreneurs, The Teen Mastermind could be just what you are looking for! Check it out at, TheTeenMastermind.com Also, The Teen Mastermind is holding an IN PERSON live event in Roseburg, Oregon, October 9-11. Get your tickets at TheTeenMasterMindLive.com!!!

    Personality Profiles with Mandy Keene! - Episode 66

    I learned a long time ago that I "beat to a different drum."  Early on I had to almost FIGHT to become an entrepreneur. I didn't even know it was possible to be one until I was in my late teens thanks to guidance from my mentor neighbor. It clearly was a, "Rich Dad, Poor Dad", education I got from him. Leading me to being in business at 20 and purchase my first home at 23. One thing I noticed with my friends at first was that even though I was clearing $10K+ per month in the early 90's with my lawn service, (which is easy to start), none of my friends had any interest in going into business.  It kind of drove me CRAZY! But I figured out that it takes a "special breed" to be an entrepreneur. Same with everything else, doctors, engineers, sales people, military people thrive in their craft. Someone like me would be MISERABLE having a job like being an engineer.  My dad was the first person to introduce me to the DISC test. I had to answer a bunch of random questions and it told me "what I was." The thing about it was that it didn't make much sense! One of the podcasts I've "worn out" is Russell Brunson's "Marketing Secrets Podcast." There were several episodes where he was geeking out over personality profiles. He was getting guidance from a PERSONALITY PROFILE EXPERT named Mandy Keene. The more I listened, the more fascinated I was with how someone like Mandy could take Personality Profile results, and have a really good idea of what makes somebody "tick." Allowing companies the ability to hire JUST THE RIGHT PERSON for the job! But what about parents and their kids? How valuable for your relationship with your children do you think it would be to KNOW "what makes them tick?" In this episode we discuss the opportunities of using personality profile tests to gain more understanding of your kids. While discussing that, Mandy reviewed my personality profile! Very HONORED to have her do this with me and it made for a cool episode because she was RIGHT ON THE MONEY!! If you like what you hear and want to seek out Mandy, go to understandingpersonality.com to find out more!! She has a group that meets every Thursday to get guidance and ask questions! Go check it out!

    The WIZARD behind the curtain, Alyssa Alviles!!!! - Episode 65

    This one is good if you have a "CREATIVE TYPE" teen and you are worried they won't be successful being an artist. Alyssa Aviles turned her early "artist years" into a successful career that has seen her being behind the scenes designing the branding, sales funnels, challenges, etc., of some HUGE internet marketing brands!  One thing that strikes me about Alyssa is she is willing to give without anything in return, not because she is looking for something, but because she can't help it!! Give this one a listen if you want to hear an ABSOLUTE ROCK STAR designer talk about what YOUR teen can do to get started in design! Find Alyssa at: TheLovelyLyss.com, @thelovelylyss, Facebook.com/thelovelylyss444, and highercallingfreedomclub.com

    Danny Walsh to the rescue! - Episode 64

    I first met Danny at an event in Boise, Idaho called, "Dramatic Demonstrations." The first thing I noticed is I barely knew him and was asking what he could do to help. When I figured out who he was I realized he was probably THE most active person in the Clickfunnels group, using his expertise to guide people through their problems. Come to find out, EVEN GETTING ON CALLS WITH THEM! It is no wonder he's "The Sheriff" in Russell Brunson's Clickfunnels Facebook group and "Secrets of Success" Facebook group! Danny is a husband, dad, Clickfunnels expert, speaker, author and business owner (Walsh Marketing), and video AI WIZARD (checkout: https://start.videopromptbuilder.com) He sent me a digital copy of his "Promptasaurus Prompting Guide for AI" book, but I'm still waiting to get my hands on a copy of his new book, "Get Your Ask Right - My Secret Way Of Getting A YES!: When 99% of people don't ask for anything, you can get a YES 99% of the time...." I'm thankful for the support and guidance he has given me and my son Nate!! I'm also thankful to call Danny a friend and a mentor, and you can follow him at, facebook.com/dannywalshmarketing

    Successful Skool groups and AI wizardry with Ron Medlin - Episode 63

    I first met Ron Medlin online when he was in a transition. He had gotten rid of his agency to go all in with Skool.  Along the way he won the Skool games getting a ton of affiliates to Skool, grew his FREE Skool group to almost 6000 members, and dropped TONS of value when we got on a call so he could show me what he was doing! What hit me the most honestly was his TECH WIZARDRY with AI. He showed me his setup and it boggled my mind!  If you are interested in creating a Skool group, check out https://www.skool.com/group-profits for some AWESOME modules and DEFINITELY check out his AI tool, CommunityAI in the "Free Resources Module" in the Classroom in his "Community Builders - Free" group on Skool (link above)!
