Season 3 of Doing the Opposite: Business Disruptors is coming very soon. Ahead of the launch, Jeff shares with you some of his favourite guests from previous seasons.--In this episode of Doing the Opposite: Business Disruptors, Jeff Dewing speaks to Julian Hall who is founder and CEO of ULTRA Education, an organisation which teaches entrepreneurship in schools.  Julian created a superhero persona to get kids interested in business and now teaches kids across the country. He set up his first business when he was 18 years old and believes entrepreneurs are made, not born.   Julian was always academic, but wasn't drawn to the natural opportunities for work that followed education. It was a desire to carve his own way in the world that led Julian to entrepreneurship. After starting many businesses Julian decided he wanted to teach entrepreneurship in schools – something he felt was missing from his earlier education.  Julian's passion for education and inspiring young people shines through in everything he does. Hear the challenges he faced along the way, including why the DfE were unconvinced by the idea of introducing entrepreneurship onto the curriculum.  Jeff and Julian discuss a challenge that many parents face; how to inspire and support their children in achieving their dreams whilst not being dismissive of over-ambition. We often discourage children from changing course and want them to stick at something, but actually experimenting and discovering what you love is essential to success! They also explore how stress is borne out of work you do not love, and how loving your work can lead to less stress and better overall wellbeing.  Julian is now working on an entire teachable curriculum around Entrepreneurship which he intends to offer to schools for free.  Hosted by Jeff Dewing Discover Cloudfm GroupWebsite  |  Facebook  |  Twitter  |  LinkedIn

Barbara Chandler came from a primary school educator background, and has seen first-hand, the problems that children can have in the mainstream curriculum. These problems all seem to be rooted in the “why” of educating; such as demonstrating from an early age the importance of learning mathematics, literacy and creative pursuits. Ultra offers a different route, having built a business on inspiring your people through entrepreneurial educational programmes, offering 7 - 18 year-olds exciting and challenging courses of education. Barbara joins Irene today to discuss the many benefits of the Ultra programme, as well as how you can become involved in shaping the minds of tomorrow. KEY TAKEAWAYS Ultra have successfully run pilot franchise operations and are now looking for business-minded people who have a strong empathy with children, to take Ultra education into new areas. Ultra allows the child to discover their own passions and interests, and allows them to realise the importance of certain education paths upon their own destinies. When you’re aiming for anything in life, it’s always best to plan so that you can check your progress, and see your future before you. One of Barbara’s core principles is to bring out the teacher in everyone. As she puts it, “no one is an empty vessel”. Everyone is the sum of their experiences, and is already part way through life’s journey. And so everyone has something to teach others. The costs involved in setting up your Ultra franchise include marketing and training. The training is an investment in yourself, and adds to your personal development in myriad ways. The secret to success is taking an idea and turning into reality. It means achieving your goals and dreams, and surrounding yourself with those who want you to do well. BEST MOMENTS ‘Ultra combines education and business at the same time’ ‘I see Ultra as a fantastic tool for carrying education into their business’ ‘Being a teacher is sharing what you know’ ‘It’s an investment in yourself' VALUABLE RESOURCES   Raising Successful Kids Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/raising-successful-kids-podcast/id1378597983 Ultra Education - https://ultra.education/franchise/ ABOUT THE HOST Irene Santineer is a working mum of an entrepreneurial child and shares a passion with her husband to see him succeed.

Money Box reporter Dan Whitworth investigates why a failed energy company is still sending bills to customers. Extra Energy ceased trading ten months ago. Last month former customer Diane received a letter demanding over £4,000 for supplying gas to her 2 bedroom home. Guest: Ellen Fraser, Energy Analyst at Baringa. A savings account that pays a 50p bonus for every pound you save. Just imagine that. Well actually you don't have to because it exists. It's called a Help to Save Account, is backed by the government and was launched last year to encourage people on low incomes who claim certain benefits to save. The Treasury estimates that around 3.5million people could be eligible for the scheme, recent statistics from HMRC reveal only 132,000 accounts have been opened. Guest: Kelly Sizer, Senior Technical Manager, the Low Incomes Tax Reform Group. Cara explains how she balances running her international online business with being a 14-year-old schoolgirl.

In the second part of the conversation with Julian Hall from Ultra Education, the focus is on young entrepreneurs who are combining education and running a business. Irene and Julian discuss how both parents and kids can navigate this complex area not become overwhelmed as they pursue new things,  listen in now to hear this invaluable advice.     KEY TAKEAWAYS  We see kids who have a business and are in school, they are passionate about their business and then we see others who are overwhelmed by it.  Young entrepreneurs are doing something different, something the ordinary person would not do.    If you continually remind the school that your child is also running a business they will come to a point of understanding.  If they are trying at lots of new things they need time to reflect, to internalise, to digest, to work out what to do next.  Give them the tools and capability to respond to change and to keep themselves focused on the things they enjoy most.  If they enjoy it they’ll do it better and that will have enough value to give them remuneration.  The fourth industrial revolution requires kids to have ideas and navigate new ways of thinking and feeling about things.  Our job is to give them a new set of skills that will enable them to do new things to be creative, innovate and think about the things they really want to do and believe that it's possible.  This new era is ushering in opportunity and the belief it is possible.  Entrepreneurs solve problems so when it's solved we either build on that or move to something new.  There is support for the Arts there should be support for kids wanting to learn about entrepreneurship and business.    BEST MOMENTS  ‘A business is often about doing what you love’  ‘Its ok to take a breather’  ‘There are learning opportunities that are lost’  ‘It requires that the parent doesn’t discount what is happening in the world today’    VALUABLE RESOURCES  Raising Successful Kids Podcast      ABOUT THE HOST  Irene Santineer is a working mum of an entrepreneurial child and shares a passion with her husband to see him succeed.

‘If you want to your kids to grow then you have to be there as a support system’ Julian from Ultra Education joins Irene to talk about the exam season and the challenges children face during these times. If you take an aerial view it wouldn’t be out of place to recognise that league tables drive behaviour and exams remain a key element of the education system. In this episode, you can hear about how to deal with overwhelm and the underpinning strategies and thought processes that operate in the context of exams. KEY TAKEAWAYS What can we do about overwhelm? Finding the source of overwhelm is key. If you understand where it is coming from whether it is your or your child’s overwhelm then it goes a long way to making it manageable. When exams arrive, everyone can be overwhelmed and it’s about managing this. If the child is in a stressful environment they will also become more stressed. Exams are one of the first points where children face overwhelm, we can ask whether it can be turned around to be a point of growth as for the entrepreneurial child it can become growth. What can you do when they begin to check out and disengage? You need to review why they are becoming disengaged. The ability to teach and coach becomes vital when they begin to check out. Find more engaging ways for them to learn the topic this may involve looking for learning beyond the classroom and increases the stake and involvement of the parent. Kids only understand their context at that time they have no understanding of the frameworks of life. This means they cannot understand the potential impact and pathway of a particular action and context. Kids are far more informed and know when it’s not working for them The challenge is to provide perspective and apply what you have learnt. As parents we have to be prepared to hear things we don’t want to hear in order to support them. BEST MOMENTS ‘Why should my primary child face the stress of these exams?’ ‘Entrepreneurs often don’t like school they often see it as too restrictive’ ‘They use it as a way of growing and stepping forward’ Giving them opportunities that convention doesn’t currently’ VALUABLE RESOURCES Raising Successful Kids Podcast ABOUT THE HOST Irene Santineer is a working mum of an entrepreneurial child and shares a passion with her husband to see him succeed.

What we don’t tell our kids about success is parts of it are mostly dealing with struggles and failures. In today’s episode of Raising Successful Kids Podcast, Irene chats with Latipha Hamduon from Ultra Education about the importance of entrepreneurial education. Latipha also shares her career background, how her business skills helped her in her teaching career, and the reason why she chose to teach instead of pursuing her prior plan to be an educational psychologist. She emphasises that for kids to be successful, they to be aware of who they are and what they want. Listen in to know more about Latipha and entrepreneurial education. KEY TAKEAWAYS Latipha has been teaching in the UK and abroad for over 20 years. She didn’t want to be a teacher; She wanted to be an educational psychologist. Her degree was in Design Technology and Psychology. She planned to be a teacher for a while as preparation for her career as an educational psychologist. But a time came when she realised she didn’t want to follow that anymore since she found that her calling is teaching. She’s got a couple of businesses. She owns coffee shops and bakeries in West London. She’s also a property investor. She bought her first house when she was 18. She realised that a bulk of her time goes to managing her business and her time for her real passion, which is teaching, is not enough. She wants her student to be the best by giving them what they deserve and what they need. Success has a different meaning when it comes to education. Latipha wants to incorporate the entrepreneurial mindset when learning inside the classrooms. We learn more about risks, failures, organisation, etc. This gives them the kids clearer and a more realistic view about success. Latipha teaches kids to prioritise the ‘WHAT’ and ‘WHY” rather than the ‘HOW’. Be clear on what you want to achieve. Planning and execution will be more natural if you know your target. BEST MOMENTS "I want my students to achieve the best they can.” “As an entrepreneur, you’ll know that mindset is everything.” “I went to education to make a difference. I went to education to nurture, to support, to help young people flourish and be the best they can be.” “It’s not necessarily what you teach but how you teach it.” VALUABLE RESOURCES Ultra Education ABOUT THE GUEST Latipha Hamdoun is the Education Director at Ultra Education, the #1 provider of entrepreneurial education in the world.

The skills that we need to have to excel in our lives aren’t taught in the classrooms. That is why Momota Ahmed, our guest today in the Raising Successful Kids Podcast, is very passionate about helping the young people learn the necessary skills. She happily does this particular cause while working as a Lead Creative for Ultra Education. Discover how she chose a position which entails creating mobile apps over the ideal career path of pursuing a Law career. She also gives advice for adults and parents on how to guide the children based on her personal experiences. There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing a kid be happy and successful because he loves what he is doing. KEY TAKEAWAYS Momota is involved in the creative elements (e.g. marketing and social media) of Ultra Education. Ultra Education aids schools in equipping children with the necessary skills. She’s helping Ultra promote and teach essential life skills to young people through entrepreneurship. Does school kill creativity? Everyone has creativity in them. School’s got significant roles to play. According to Momota, schools should also focus on extra skills like building confidence, team building, interpersonal skills, communication skills, resilience, or learning through failure. Momota Ahmed inspires young people by being an example of someone who has pursued what they love doing. Each will have a different meaning on how they bring to life what they love. Momota did not study creating mobile apps. She didn't know the concepts of UI and UX before. You don't have to be equipped with a degree. You just have to equip yourself with the passion, confidence, and the right skillset. What does raising successful kids mean to Momota? Anyone who has any input with children and young people is to be a guide. It's essential as adults or as parents not to cross the line and be overprotective. Guide them as best as you can. BEST MOMENTS "To think of something that you love doing, already, that takes courage. Because the hardest question is to answer the question who am I." "That's why I love what Ultra Education do. And, the team - they do it with love. because we can't inspire young people to do what they love if we don't do it with love." "Don't ever tell me you can't do it. You can learn to do it." "It's key to focus on what the skills are of that child and to guide them."

Welcome back to another episode of The Raising Successful Kids Podcast. Today, your host Irene Santineer introduces a new series of Ultra episodes lead by serial entrepreneur, CEO, and founder of ‘Ultra Education’ Julian Hall. In this introductory episode, Julian talks through the step-by-step approach to teaching entrepreneurship to kids and how you too can follow this six-step pedagogy to Raising Successful Kids. KEY TAKEAWAYS How do you teach entrepreneurship at such a young age? When we first started Ultra Education we developed a pedagogy, an educational approach to how we actually teach entrepreneurship. It’s a guide for both teachers, parents and children to understand how to identify their passion. Practically, it teaches us how our children can take the mechanics and dynamics of entrepreneurship and create a business out of it.   Ultra’s Six-Step Pedagogy Find what you’re passionate about - Once you’ve got them to think about what they want to do, ask them to write down a list of all of the things that they’re passionate about and that they love doing. From here you can get them to prioritise it and get them to tell you what’s most important to them. Do your research - The research is really important, it enables you to find a way or an angle of doing things differently and creating a revenue stream from it. Try and find the method or approach that works well with that child and find a nice within a niche. SImply by researching online, you can find a business model or revenue options to connect your child's passion and create a business from it.   Creating a product or service - Understanding whether you're going to make a product or service is important. Realise that the product or service has to fit your customer and serve a purpose. Some kids enjoy the hands-on experience of providing a service and some kids prefer creating a product and finding your audience. Have them do both and find out which they prefer and which they're interested in. Research again - Now you know what offering you're providing you can go back to your research and decide if you're providing a low, medium or high-end product or service. Ensure your kids understand the value of their time and place a value on how they are spending it. From here they can start to put into context how long it takes to provide their product or service and account for this in the profit/costing of the product. Do things in a cost-effective manner, but realise the value of the time it takes to create. Method of sale - How is the product or service going to be sold and communicated to the audience. With social media, we can start instantly and sell from social profiles. Using things like Shopify and Godaddy you can start selling product and services right away and at a low cost. Do they enjoy it? - One of the main motivating factors will be if your child enjoys it. Make sure there is enough profit in there that they find it worthwhile and that this is the business venture you want to proceed with. At this point, it is still an assumption. Selling the product or service qualifies the assumption and shows us that there is a tangible return for their time and effort. Our kids need to experience selling and earning a profit because they can relate to it and they can understand it.  After working through the pedagogy you'll be able to evaluate the process and see if your kids want to continue and really make a business out of it. BEST MOMENTS “Do what you love and aim to make money from it. There’s a business behind almost anything and it’s driven from passion.” “There’s a good chance the niche that you select, there’s isn't a young entrepreneur already doing it.” “With a service, you can only make money if you're delivering it. So it can be easier to make and monetise a product.” "We’ve not been taught to be introspective, but when we ask our children to tell us what they want to be, and what they would like to do. It’s an introspective question." ABOUT THE HOST Irene Santineer is a working mum of an entrepreneurial child and shares a passion with her husband to see him succeed.

In this inspiring episode of the Raising Successful Kids podcast your host Irene Santineer interviews award-winning Uk singer/songwriter Marcia Escoffery.

Discover the power in surrounding your kids with like-minded and successful people, of all ages. Kids will begin to mirror their actions and learn through osmosis. KEY TAKEAWAYS Irene: Tell us a little bit about your backstory? Marcia: My father introduced myself and my sisters to singing at an early age. We formed a successful gospel group (The Escoffery sisters) and won several awards. We secured a recording deal with Atlantic records and from an early age dealt with things professionally and with an entrepreneurial mindset. Irene: How have you instilled your entrepreneurial mindset in your daughter? Marcia: I believe I have done it very unconsciously, however, there has been a real nurturing of doing things the right way, being precise, being polite and having manners were all communicated at an early age. I have realised that the foundations of how I was raised were carried right through to myself raising my own daughter. Irene: What does Raising Successful Kids mean to you? Marcia: It means raising a young person to make a positive impact on the world. To think about others and to consider all opportunities available to them, you don’t simply need to follow the crowd. BEST MOMENTS “I think she’s capable of doing anything” “There was language coming through that spoke of business and not a job. She wanted to do her own thing and was aware of what she wanted to achieve.” “Her ethos is also ethical and she is now creating her own naturally made eyeshadows” “I make sure she is around people that are forward thinking, that’s my job as a mother” “The friends that she does have are a reflection of her” ABOUT THE HOST Irene Santineer is a working mum of an entrepreneurial child & shares a passion with her husband, to see children succeed.
