EP 65: Mindset Over Money: From Hustling to Building Generational Wealth

In this candid Fatherhood Voices sit-down, Edward and Alyssa crack open the taboo topic of family finances and the bigger dream of generational wealth. Edward retraces his grind-it-out roots—selling pencils in first grade, coupon-stacking, and yes, those cheeseless burgers at Tom’s—to show how a scarcity mindset can both help and hurt. Together they unpack the two real game-changers: mindset and systems. Expect stories of leveraging a 9-to-5 to fund a side hustle, why motivational content is the cheapest coach you’ll ever hire, and how teens (or anyone) can reverse-engineer their income goals down to the minute. This is Part 1 of a two-parter that moves from personal money myths to the nuts and bolts of legacy building. Hit play, grab a notebook, and get ready to level up.
