Better Parenting & Better Business: Parallels Between the Lives of Young and Older Adults

Time to Level Up

Jan 30 2024 • 46 mins

Do you see a big difference in yourself, your life, and your circumstances now than you did 20 or 30 years ago?

You might think that college-aged kids can’t yet contemplate worries and challenges on the same level as a 40+ year-old. But you might be surprised...

For the first time on the show, I’m interviewing one of my kids, along with two of her friends. And while nothing they said surprised me, I was intrigued to see the similarities between their struggles and those of older adults like my clients... and myself.

In this episode of Time to Level Up, you’ll learn how their lives and some of their challenges as 19-year-olds are similar to older adults. You’ll also hear how their experiences as college students and their perspective on being a better parent are similar to running a successful business.
