You’ll Learn:
Justin sits down with Craig Ballantyne – bestselling author, entrepreneur, and high-performance coach — to explore how discipline, integrity, and mentorship shape the next generation of business leaders.
Unlike our typical money tactics and strategy episodes, this episode takes a deeper dive into Craig’s entrepreneurial journey and the lessons parents can apply to raise confident, resilient kids. From growing up on a farm in Stratford, Ontario, to building multiple 7-figure businesses, Craig shares how real-world experiences, strong standards, and saying “no” to the wrong yeses shaped his path.
If you’re a parent who wants to model entrepreneurial thinking, strong character, and long-term success for your kids — this one is a must-listen.
We cover:
- Craig’s early work experience and how it sparked his entrepreneurial mindset
- Why young people should work for great mentors before starting businesses
- Why discipline is about prioritizing your biggest problem, not cold showers
- Why you need to get clear on your “Big Why” before saying yes to anything
- The importance of standards and personal operating systems
- Craig’s philosophy on parenting with consistency, structure, and purpose
