Quotes:
“Every kid is unique. Each kid is literally one of a kind throughout history. And as you get to be around them, you get to see that come out.”
“Loving to learn because if they love to learn, we know, and there's plenty of scientific evidence behind this that they'll take off.”
“Our kind of big goal is we want to launch a million kid businesses. And we also, what we do is we empower kids to take on the real world, because we all know that not every kid is going to be an entrepreneur, but every kid can learn to be entrepreneurial. “
“My hope is there'll be way more confidence about their (children’s) trajectory based on their journey and way more plugged into their own wiring that they're going to make every step count.”
