They Learn What They Live: Money, Parenting, and Breaking the Cycle

n this conversation, Monica Kaufman joins me to unpack the intersection of money, parenting, and legacy.

We explore how children absorb our financial habits—spoken and unspoken—and why it’s not enough to just teach money principles. We have to model them. This episode covers the importance of financial literacy, estate planning, emergency funds, and building intentional relationships that support long-term security.

If you’ve ever wondered how to set your children up for more than survival—this is the episode to hear. Because wealth isn’t just about numbers. It’s about mindset, systems, and what you normalize in your home.
