We all want to set our kids up for success, but that doesn't just mean tossing them a pile of money.


In this episode, Dr. Randy Lehman shares how he talks to his kids about money, work, value, and responsibility—and why teaching them to earn and invest is more important than handing them a big inheritance. 


From selling eggs to reading Laura Ingalls Wilder, he shares stories and ideas that shape how he's raising capable, kind, financially wise adults.


It's part money, part parenting, and all about what it really means to pass something on.
