💡 Your teen can open a Roth IRA with earned income (babysitting, part-time jobs, etc.) Money grows tax-free for 50+ years. A small contribution today = potentially $100k+ at retirement. Start early. Time is the real investment. 📈

@actionxander incredible photo. Thanks for sharing.

It's been an insane 24 hours. I am still processing the fact I gained close to 27K new followers since yesterday. Things look like they're finally slowing down and it's time to hit the hay so I can wake up early and maybe photograph more otters and owls for you guys!

@feifei_qiu Building Teen Financial Roadmap.

Hi Founders & Builders 👋 Looking to connect with people interested in: • Building • Marketing • Education • Parenting • Tennis • Coffee • Music • Learning and failing in public Say hi and share what you're building !!

@AviationHistGal Beautiful plane!

I almost never post here any more but this past Monday I flew the first flight of the RV-8 I built.

Money conversations in families often don't happen because parents don't care. They don't happen because nobody handed parents a roadmap.

Launching soon!

Parents: turn "I hope they'll be fine" into an actual plan and teach your children financial literacy. The Teen Financial Roadmap shows which accounts your teen needs + runs real projections on what small monthly contributions grow into. Comment below for early access 👇

@CoachBroker You should be proud Coach!

As of tonight all my kids will be graduated from high school and over 18. As a father to kids ages 26, 23, 20, and 18, I understand that parenting doesn’t end when they become legal adults. But I feel like I have reached a significant milestone as a father and in my life, and at a relatively young age (46). I’m extremely proud of my family and looking forward to the next stage of life. A wedding in less than 2 months… 🙌🏼

@RobinSharma I agree. I’d also add purpose, family dinners, quiet mornings, and the ability to help others through your experiences.

Today, I want to share my simple thoughts on what makes a TRULY successful life. What would you add to my list here? Love, Robin

@blakeaburge Your actions eventually silence opinions without unnecessary arguments.

Underrated life advice: Let people be wrong about you. You don't need to correct every opinion. You don't need to win every argument. You don't need everyone to understand your choices. The people who matter will figure it out. The rest were never your real friends anyway.

@KevinSzabo14 Lifelong learning builds lifelong strength daily.

You don't stop learning after school ends. You continue learning until the day you are 6 feet under. If you stop learning, you stop living in my option. So keep on doing it, big or small honestly.

@TheJacobTurner consistency is king. being available and accessible. Great post! Thank you.

I know nothing about dance, yet my girls love it. A few things I have learned being a girl dad... 1) Your presence is everything. I know nothing, can offer no insight, or help them get better with things like dance. ....and they know it. Yet just being there is everything (make sure you bring the flowers). 2) Confidence can be shown My girls are all confident, but it takes reminding. They are probably sick of hearing me say we don't use terms like: "I can't" or "I hope" in our house. Put your best foot forward and don't be afraid to fail. 3) Your team is everything Yes, my girls will fight with each other (usually over a stuffed animal...big stuff you know). Yet one thing they know (because I always say it), "you girls are on the same team." That means you stick up for each other, you look out for each other, and no matter what, you have each other's back. Needless to say, I love being a girl dad. For my girl dads out there, what is one lesson you have learned raising yours?

@kushika_twt Cost of building in that environment could be a consideration. Also, you trade cooling for heating costs...but interesting thought!

@jasoncook55 Lots of food needed. Maybe a farm or cattle ranch?😆

We just had our 4th boy!! 4 boys is going to be a total riot. We'll need 2 fridges. 2 ovens. 2 pantries..

@MarioNawfal Elon continues to produce for the good of humanity.

Neuralink is prepping to test its first Blindsight implant later this year. A lot of people hear "vision restoration" and assume it's about fixing damaged eyes. That's not the plan. The plan is to send visual information directly to the visual cortex of the brain. Even if the eyes are gone. Even if the optic nerve is gone. That's a very different and very interesting conversation. @neuralink

@steven_montoya well said.

I believe it’s good that parents “force” their kids to do things they’d rather not do. It could be 6 AM summer XC runs with the team. It could be ordering their own food at a restaurant. It could be communicating with teachers. Parenting, teaching and coaching should not always be comfortable for the person in charge or the child/student/athlete. Practice doing uncomfortable things now so that growth happens and more can be handled later.

Launching soon! Teen Financial Roadmap. Increasing teen financial literacy and providing a framework for financial independence.

@benbarkerfit Love this!

I fail as a dad on the regular. But my kids will grow up watching a dad who: Loves their mom well Trains hard for his goals Puts down his phone to play with them Prioritizes his faith Perfection isn't the goal. Setting the example is.

@PeacefulFathers Insightful, thanks for sharing

Imagine if children could review their parents before birth. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Patient. Emotionally regulated. Listens well. Safe under pressure. Strong boundaries. Would live with them again." ⭐ "Uses fear as communication. Takes disagreement personally. Confuses obedience with respect. Random emotional reactivity. Do not recommend." The funny thing is that most parents spend years trying to control their children's behavior instead of becoming the kind of person their children naturally want to trust, respect, and stay connected to. The goal is becoming the kind of father your children would freely choose if they had the option.
