JD walks us through his journey from garden-side sales to launching a national nonprofit teaching kids how to turn ideas into real money. He and host Mike Mannino explore topics like:

  • Why rejection builds resilience

  • How dyslexia and ADHD helped JD think differently

  • The power of mentorship—and why most kids don’t get it

  • Why entrepreneurship is a mindset, not just a job

  • The failures that made him stronger

Plus, hear about Biz Kids Expos, a Shark Tank-style experience where young entrepreneurs pitch their ideas, sell their products, and walk away with real cash.
