Young Founder ยท Founding Families

Start tonight.
The box comes later.

Three things to use while you wait. The first one is for you, not your kid, and it is the one that changes how the next ninety days go.

For you

Four short videos, for you

About fifteen minutes total, in four parts. What your job is. What to say when they stall. The week they want to quit. When to actually step in.

Watch part one tonight if you only do one thing on this page.

Part one: What your job is
Part two: What to say when they stall
Part three: The week they want to quit
Part four: When to actually step in
For your kid

The first two chapters: book + workbook

Chapter one introduces Andre and Sophie. Neither has money, a rare talent, or one useful connection, which is the point.

Chapter two lays out the four ways a kid can start, and the workbook page after it asks yours to pick one. They do not have to be right. They just have to pick.

If this is a gift

A card to hand over

If the box will not arrive before the day you are giving this, print this and wrap it instead. It tells your kid what is coming without spoiling the box.
