Key Takeaways  Allowances should be a starting point for kids; enough to buy small things, but leaving the big wants as motivation for kids to discover ways to make their own money  Creativity in kids tend to start to wane as they enter the teenage years Collect and Connect - encouraging creativity by listing problems that bother us and brainstorming solutions that we could charge to provide The Mini-Experiment Instead of waiting for the one perfect business idea, picks an idea and try it for 1-2 months Establish a hard deadline for re-evaluation of the idea Teaching kids that an unsuccessful business idea is not a “failure” but simply a part of the process of discovering a successful business idea is a valuable life lesson  The Imposter Syndrome The feeling of “who am I to start a business?” To start a business you only have to be marginally better than (one step ahead of) those who you're teaching   No idea is a bad idea when it comes to a kids business. They should be extremely low-cost and education should be more important than outcome.   Resources The Simple Startup The Rebel Entrepreneur Ways to connect/follow FIeducator - Twitter The Simple Startup - Instagram The Simple Startup - FaceBook Contact the Host - vince@thecfoathome.com

• I got into personal finance about six years ago. My school asked me to teach this class, it was like a Math personal since hybrid, my wife at the time we were dating, we just moved in together, she was the one who was the money person in our house, and through our conversations, it became clear that I needed to learn more about money as well to become more co-partner in our decision-making, and like we talk about with couples all the time, we wanna make sure that everyone is a knowledgeable participant in the finances of the house (10:56)•  It's not something that you have to be born into a wealthy family to be able to do all these things so I became very passionate about teaching others what I was... I started with my own classroom, and then the ChooseFI Foundation, developed a pre-K through 12 Personal Finance curriculum that's free to use, and then the next step was my son was born. (12:13)• I think there's so much learned from kids' books, particularly when you go back a sec with an adult or a teenage mind and look at them like some examples that come to mind, or like the goose that laid the golden egg, talking about the fishermen and the businessman, Jack In The being stock. Those are ones that if you approach that with an adult line, now you're like, What are the morals in here and how does it apply to finances, and there are some really cool conversations that can actually come from those (16:14)• I first heard about it from a friend who took her probably two-year-old son at the time to a local bank, they opened a checking account for him, a junior saber checking account, whatever it was. And they got a little goody bag from the bank for the custodial account holder, and I was like, Oh, that's really cool. So I started approaching my local banks and credit unions, and three of them have signed up already to pick up copies of the book and give it out to the kids as they sign up for accounts  (18:37)CONNECT WITH ROB PHELAN•Email: misformoneybook@gmail.com • Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/robephelan• Twitter:  https://twitter.com/FIeducator• Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/misformoneybook/• Choose FI curriculum: https://www.choosefifoundation.org/prek12•Teachers Pay Teachers: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Fi-Educator•M is for Money on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/M-Money-Rob-Phelan/dp/1737149028•The Simple Startup: https://thesimplestartup.com/CONNECT WITH BARBARA:• FCS Podcast: https://fcspodcast.com• FCS Tips: https://www.fcstips.com• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ConnectFCSed• Twitter: https://twitter.com/ConnectFCSed• Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/connectfcsed• Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/connectfcsed • Tik Tok:  https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPdhKwFKc/

COGSA, Carmack, Allisons, and Himalaya Clause. These terms may not mean much for a traditional property subrogation professional, but if you are going to diversify into the world of ocean marine and inland marine subro, then these are a few of the many terms you will need to become familiar with. In this episode of Cozen O'Connor's Subro on the Go podcast, hosts Joe Rich and David Brisco are joined by attorney Rob Phelan to talk about a new trending kids toy and the various losses (and subrogation issues) that can occur during the shipment of this product from overseas to the port and on to the final destination.

Welcome to episode 191 of Profit Boss® Radio! In this episode, we're talking about how to teach your kids about the value of money and entrepreneurship.  Schools rarely teach financial responsibility, encourage entrepreneurship, or equip kids with the skills they need to understand our money systems. It's why so many of us learned these lessons the hard way–and it's why it's so important to make sure our own children get a better financial education than we did. With that in mind, I'm thrilled to be talking to Rob Phelan. Rob's a high school math and personal finance teacher by day, but by night, he's the author of M is for Money, a book of financial lessons for kids, as well as the founder of Simple Startup, where he provides online coaching for 10-18 year old entrepreneurs.  In today's episode, we're talking about how to teach your kids about money and finance in ways that they'll care about. We'll also hear about some incredible companies founded by amazing kids, and help find ways to make sure that children have a better understanding about the value of money that you wish you had when you were young. Here's what you'll find out in this week's episode of Profit Boss® Radio: The hard financial lessons that helped Rob learn about money in his 20s. Why kids don't need good math skills anymore to have great money skills. The value of teaching kids financial independence over financial literacy. The importance of leaving a legacy for our children, and the value in teaching our children at an early age. The wonderful success story from a young girl who took Rob's course and is still demonstrating a tremendous amount of entrepreneurial spirit. Why you don't need to be all knowing–and how to encourage your kids to develop their own healthy relationship with money.

F is for Fun. And we have a ton of fun today talking to Rob Phelan about his new children's book M is for Money. He was inspired by reading with his own son and realizing there weren't any books on the market that teach basic personal finance to kids. Even if you don't have kids yourself, this book might be a great gift for a kid in your family. We also dive into financial literacy in general and why so few programs are successful. If you have any interest in improving the money habits of the people around you, we've got you covered. During our headline segment, IRA and tax expert Ed Slott joins us to talk about a five billion dollar Roth IRA! That's right, Peter Thiel's Roth IRA balance is over a cool five b's at this point. Ed helps explain how it happened and what changes Congress might make to prevent this in the future. For many who dream about crypto riches, can you replicate Thiel's feat (or score a measly 2-3 million) in YOUR Roth IRA? We'll ask Ed about that as well. We'll also throw out the Haven Life line to Justin who wrote in to our basement Facebook group to ask about how much to gift his niece for graduation (we have some great ideas and alternatives to monetary gifts!). And of course we'll leave time for Doug's amazing trivia. Enjoy! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
