About this episode
As a parent, you’re constantly nervous about raising spoiled, entitled and elitist kids. And if you're from a modest upbringing and have found success as an adult — it’s hard to recreate an environment of grit and resilience for your kids. We discuss exposing children to folks living in poverty, why “traveling” doesn’t give perspective and how to think about an inheritance. [Episode 24]
Wil is the founder of the digital marketing agency Seer Interactive and a father of two young boys.
