“Our children didn’t become founders by chance or just because they had us as their parents. It happened because of the intentional choices we made each and every day while raising them as well as the choices they made through the perspective they developed around the achievability of dreams. These are choices that parents and children can make if they simply know how.”

“A founder is anyone who sees a problem, recognizes his or her potential to do something about it, and takes the necessary steps to create a solution. A founder’s mindset, then, is a way of consistently approaching the world in this way.”

“Founders aspire to create meaningful, strategic solutions that will make some corner of the world, no matter how small, a better place.”

“To raise a founder, you must be conscious of your choices. You must know how to identify and solve the right problems. You must be clear with your values so that you can live with authenticity in front of your children and teach them to do the same. Above all, you must be willing to involve your kids in the tough conversations, and you must share your work and your life with them.”
