The Prodigy Kid Podcast

I've been jumping up and down for awhile about this Prodigy Kid book and the idea of self-learning about how to be successful and entrepreneurship but I've had zero luck of getting Nate and his friends TRULY EXCITED about it yet until now! Once I disguised it as, "The Ultimate Lemonade Stand", they've been freaking out!!!!

I've decided to change direction and simplify what I am doing. What is the ONE THING I can do that can bring me my goal the fastest? The Ultimate Lemonade Stand is one of the modules in our coaching that I think will help parents teach their kids how to have their first BIG win in entrepreneurship if done properly. Instead of trying to finish up the Prodigy Kid Blueprint, I'm going to ju...

Compound interest is a very powerful force when applied to money and investing. What about the "compound interest of LIFE" and it's effects on your success. Why it's important to choose BIG goals that benefit the world at as young an age as possible to gain the most benefit.

"What is Success?" is the intro title to the 1st book in The Prodigy Kid Blueprint. In this chapter I go over this and actually get a little carried away into the 1st chapter of that book but stopped myself before I went too far with that chapter.  SUCCESS IS UP TO YOU!!!!

On this episode I talk about THE BIGGEST most IMPORTANT thing that I've taught Nate, and have broken a family "curse" when it comes to money.

I learned from Alex Charfen about Momentum. I went over 40 years until I UNDERSTOOD how my "entrepreneurial mind" works and is wired differently than everybody else. He calls it the "Entrepreneurial Spectrum" and I clearly am on it!! Entrepreneurs need MOMENTUM. We need to be moving towards our goals and making daily progress. If not you get lack of momentum, and that is not a...

My top mentor Russell Brunson sent me a friend request the other day! The EXACT person I would love to share Prodigy Kid with! It was 6am when I saw the request, and within 10 minutes I had already talked to my dad and woke Nate up, only to have him say, "IT'S PROBABLY A FAKE PROFILE!", and roll back over to sleep. YUP, FAKE PROFILE! I'm not even mad. For that 10 minutes the vi...

Short and sweet description: Do little things daily toward your goals and dreams and they will COMPOUND and add up to BIG things! We need to teach our kids do find their, "North Star", and daily do the basics of "The Successful 4" to keep momentum!

Today's interview was with Evans Putnam. He actually rents his lighting for his podcast from his daughter! Podcasting and coaching are his niche, and to help others. The two biggest takeaways are that he is an EXAMPLE to his daughter, and to not only be an entrepreneur to make money, but to serve others. You can find more information about Evans at servepreneur.com.

This teaching episode covers a chapter from, "The Prodigy Kid", book called, "Help others succeed when you can". Something cool happened today that lines up perfectly with this principle so I though I would share it. 

I cam across Rodney on Facebook somehow. As a previous, "lawn kid", and lawn service owner, his story hit me good. He has created a movement + non-profit organization, "Raising Men Lawn Care". As of today he has enlisted roughly 4000 kids to take part in his, "50 yards challenge", where they provide free lawn care to our elders, those who are disabled, single mothers...

I think I've had enough practice and consistency to take this podcast to the next level.  Need to polish the video version a little, have not only "documenting the journey episodes",  but shorter teaching episodes and we need to interview guests. Parent entrepreneurs with kids and some Prodigy Kids out there doing awesome stuff!

Here's an update of some launch ideas that I'm going to do with The Prodigy Kid book that focuses a lot on a "local launch" on my way to becoming an "Amazon Bestseller" with our upcoming book launch. I also get into some of the details of the upcoming "Prodigy Kid Entrepreneurship Incubator". The way I'm approaching all of this is with AN EXTREME BELIEF...

I've come a long way this year! While I didn't hit my podcast goal by the end of the year, I still managed to knock it out of the park considering I am like a triathlete with no arms or legs with all I've overcome this year! This next year is going to change everything as we begin to work with others who hear our calling with Prodigy Kid.  Nobody was there to come to my rescue this...

Today Nate revealed to me indirectly that all this firehose of information I always give him is actually landing somewhere and he's getting it! He has talked about the BIG thing that he wants that is going to take some work for him to get. A DIRT BIKE! My brother called him today about maybe getting him a helmet for Christmas. I told Nate that he shouldn't get a dirt bike helmet without...

I can thank one of my coaches, JoshForti, for helping me figure out The Prodigy Kid Blueprint. If it wasn't for the training I took Nate to, and the subsequent coaching with him it would have never come about. The beauty of hiring coaches is that it puts you on the RIGHT PATH faster than if you tried to figure it out yourself. The Prodigy Kid Blueprint is the essence of what Prodigy Kid is al...

When I wrote The Prodigy Kid book after my near death experience I committed to waking up every morning at 530am and starting writing ASAP thereafter. 40 days straight of doing that I had a really good rough draft. One of the chapters in TPK book talks about the importance of your morning routine. In my case, I normally wake up at 830am every day. Starting tomorrow, I'm waking up at 530 every...

If you ignore your health, IT WILL GO AWAY! Hands down, the most important thing for entrepreneurs AND EVERYONE is your health, without it you have nothing. I am a prime example of how your life can be disrupted because of chronic illness, and now Nate is an example with his broken leg and surgery of how quick an injury can change EVERYTHING!

This Thanksgiving episode has me thankful for a lot. Nate was cut off by a truck the other day and broke his leg pretty bad. The bottom part of his leg snapped in half. A ride in an ambulance, a few nights in the hospital and a major surgery and I can tell you I'm VERY thankful for all of those things IT WAS NOT! It could have been much worse. In this episode I talk about how I'm going t...

I was sharing with Nate how Elon Musk is taking a lot of criticism right now about how he is reducing Twitter's workforce, but in reality it is brilliant because it brings the Principle of 80/20 into it. The rule which I personally think should be a "LAW" would show that 20% of Twitter's workforce before the takeover are probably responsible for 80% of the results. Removing the...

One of the most important books out there, "Think and Grow Rich", by Napoleon Hill, has been a VERY important part of my life and success!  In this episode I share what I think is the most important gift given by Mr. Hill, "The Self Confidence Formula".   If you don't know what "The Self Confidence Formula" is, YOU NEED TO!

As Nate is approaching his mid-teens I'm so thankful for the partnership we have with our business. My dad jokes that, "he's going away for 4 or 5 years and you'll get him back when he's 19 or 20." Meaning the teen years can be rough. We'll see, but I'm hoping that our business will keep our mutual respect and relationship strong. I had 2 calls from school t...

One of the biggest misconceptions about success is to, "Never Give UP!" Sometimes you have to use your best judgement and know to give up. Not all goals are meant to be. "Unanswered prayers", can be HUGE blessings in disguise! The best thing to do is to create GIANT level 10 goals, like Elon Musk wanting to colonize Mars, and never give up on the BIG goals. You have to be ready...

I ran into my homeroom/anatomy + physiology teacher from high school today and we talked about Prodigy Kid. He definitely agreed that some of the kids that came through his class had no business being in there and should have been doing something different. As he went through The Prodigy Kid book he was making it clear that while entrepreneurship is not for everyone, the wisdom and success oriente...

There was one day specifically that Nate said, "Why would anybody want a job?" In that moment it, "CLICKED", for him. He has front row seats to the trail I'm riding, and now it is going to become more apparent to him as I take the next 5 months off to try and heal my body while getting Prodigy Kid off the ground. A normal job doesn't just let you take off a few months...
