Matt Haycox: Bankruptcy, Parenting & Why School Doesn’t Teach Money

This week Matt is in the hot seat.Repurposed from Dan Banks Nachmias' podcast Parenting Without the Manual, this one goes deeper than business. It's about where hunger comes from, what money actually does to kids, and how to raise children who can stand on their own two feet, without quietly doing it for them.Matt gets into growing up with money without growing up entitled, the invisible safety net he didn't know he had until it was gone, and why bankruptcy doesn't break you. Staying down does.Plus the one piece of advice he'd give every new parent. You'll have to listen for that one.Timestamps:0:00 – Intro0:09 – Growing up entrepreneurial2:02 – How Matt's parents kept him hungry without entitlement6:55 – 30 years in business: how the game has changed every decade10:48 – Raising kids across three very different eras15:04 – Bankruptcy, resilience, and the safety net disappearing18:31 – Setting kids up to win without softening them25:42 – What schools don't teach, and should34:23 – Is school even worth it anymore?40:00 – Redefining success (and why finance has hijacked the word)47:26 – The school of bankruptcy49:58 – Born or made: can you teach someone to be an entrepreneur?54:19 – Who's actually to blame for financial illiteracy?58:51 – One piece of advice for every new parentFollow Matt:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thematthaycox/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matthaycox/Website: https://matt-haycox.com/ Follow Dan:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-banks-nachmias/Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/3QU2rMK3JRLIQf8wRUT8il ========================Connect with Matt Haycox, No BS Business Podcast Host & 8-Figure Entrepreneur.I’m Matt Haycox, entrepreneur, investor, and your straight-talking guide to building a business that actually works.
