Author: Lianne Castelino November 23, 2024 Duration: 30:21
This week on the Where Parents Talk podcast, host Lianne Castelino interviews Margo Machol Bisnow, an author and speaker with a background in the US government and nonprofit sector. Bisnow discusses her book, 'Raising an Entrepreneur,' which features 99 stories from diverse families whose children have achieved entrepreneurial success. She emphasizes the importance of parents supporting their children's passions, embracing failure as a learning opportunity, and creating conditions that foster entrepreneurial thinking. The conversation touches on Bisnow's personal experiences with her own entrepreneur children, the changing job market, and specific parenting methods that encourage independence and self-discovery. Bisnow's key message is for parents to believe in and support their children unconditionally, fostering a mindset of curiosity, resilience, and confidence.
