What if your home was your most powerful business?

In this episode, we sit down with Mark Timm—serial entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and co-author of the bestselling book Mentor to Millions—to explore what it really means to lead at home. Mark has launched and scaled multiple companies, but his greatest legacy is the one he’s building around his dinner table.

In a world that tells kids what to consume, Mark is teaching them how to create.

Get ready for a conversation that will challenge everything you thought you knew about success, parenting, and purpose. This isn’t about raising high achievers. It’s about raising high-impact humans.

How do we teach kids the true value of money, responsibility, and decision-making in a world that’s constantly evolving? Raising Value Creators is the podcast that transforms the way we approach financial education for children. We move beyond outdated systems like allowances and chores and dive into real-world principles that make kids bulletproof—resilient, confident, and equipped to handle money and life.

Through expert insights, real-life stories, and actionable strategies, we explore:

• How to have the money talk in a way that empowers, not overwhelms.
• The foundations of value creation—so kids understand earning, spending, and investing with purpose.
• Setting expectations around money to eliminate entitlement and anxiety.
• Why traditional allowance systems fail—and what to do instead.
• How to make kids financially confident and adaptable in an unpredictable world.

This isn’t just about raising financially literate kids. It’s about raising future-proof, opportunity-creating leaders who think critically, create value, and take ownership of their financial future. Because when kids grow up understanding value creation, they become bulletproof adults.

Tune in and start shaping the next generation of value creation kids.
