This condensed episode dives into Rich Christiansen's proven blueprint for raising resilient, values-driven kids—featuring age-based rites of passage and entrepreneurship as a tool. You'll hear: • The Legado Family Framework (values → symbols → traditions → rites → finances) • The 8/12/14/16/18 rites of passage (and why they work) • Why his teens built businesses—and why they later shut them down • Practical ways to kill entitlement and build family identity Resources: Rich's site → https://legadofamily.com/ _____________________________________________________________ Books that don't just inform— They transform.
