Raising Confident Teens

On today’s episode Hudson and I chat with Doug Noll.  Doug had a rough start in life. He was born partially deaf, nearly blind, crippled and super smart. The girls were not beating down his door when he was young. However, he managed to not only get through school, but also begin a successful career as an award-winning civil trial lawyer for more than twenty years. Then he experienced a shift and found his true calling – that of a peacemaker.

Since he left his successful law practice, Doug has devoted his life to help others learn how to understand conflict. His work has helped thousands of people, some of whom society would have considered past the point of help, dramatically improve their lives.

All of this talk about cryptocurrency can be very confusing. So today we asked Keith to join us and give us some insight. In case you didn’t know he has been involved with crypto for many years and has recently started the podcast Generational Wealth with Cryptocurrency.

We feel like this is a major development in our world today that is going to change the way our teens handle money and banking. So we just wanted to give a basic beginner crash course on the subject.

Some of the things we covered:

• Why would someone want to own crypto
• Why would someone want to own crypto
• What are some of the advantages
• What are some of the disadvantages
• How do we decide which currencies to invest in

We hope that this episode gave you more insight and understanding into the world of cryptocurrency! If you want to go deeper, check out the Generational Wealth with Cryptocurrency podcast available here on Apple podcasts (and many other podcast platforms).

It’s great for our kids to see us talk about money with others and with them. The more comfortable they are handling and discussing finances the more prepared they will be as they launch out on their own. It’s a good idea to just sit down with them occasionally and see what they are thinking and learning about money. On this episode I had a little impromptu chat with Hudson and Jenna getting their perspective about what they see going on around them and what they have learned from their own experiences with money.  

Today is also Launch Day for my new book – I Am Not Your ATM: A Practical Plan for Teaching Your Teen to Manage Money.

This was such a great episode with Dr. Cam!

Cameron (Dr. Cam) Caswell, PhD, the "teen translator," is an adolescent psychologist, family success coach, host of the Parenting Teens with Dr. Cam podcast and Parenting Teens Power Hour, and is the author of Power Phrases for Parents: Teen Edition. For over a decade, she has been teaching moms how to be C.A.L.M parents in order to build strong, positive relationships with their teens.

She gave us lots of tips on how we as parents can better understand our teenagers and help them feel heard.  She didn’t let the teens off the hook though.  She also gave them some tips on things they can do to improve communication with their parents. I thoroughly enjoyed this episode with Dr. Cam! She has a gift of helping you see things through perspectives other than your own.

We are doing something a little different on this episode.  The teens have the day off, and we are taking a break from our normal content. Keith and Rachel are chatting about the trip they just took to FinCon. They talk about what FinCon is, why they went and what they noticed there that excited them about the future. They had a great time, learned lots, but apparently didn’t get enough sweet tea.

Rachel’s book I Am Not Your ATM: A Practical Plan for Teaching Your Teen to Manage Money releases October 18th.  We are looking for some people who would be interested in being a part of our launch team. If you join the team you will receive a free pdf copy of the book. In exchange we are asking you to leave an honest review of the book on online retailers and share on social media during launch week. You can sign up for the launch team here: https://forms.gle/1ewTAwjfz82ijHmv5

On this week’s podcast I interviewed Brie Jutte Waterman, one of the authors of College Ready. This book is a collaboration of thirteen different college administrators sharing great practical tips on what incoming college students and their parents need to know before college.

Often we spend so much time and effort getting our students ready academically, but then we don’t think about all the other preparations that we need to do to get them ready to fly the nest. This book walks you through all the important conversations and tasks you need to do before your young adult heads off to college.
