Marc and Chris have a discussion about the changing dynamics around empowerment are impacting both children and their parents. This conversation is part of a series that is being facilitated by Planet Pilots in support of Marc’s upcoming book on the topic. This discussion diverts from the typical conversation on this podcast, however in a way we are seeing that parents and children alike are needing to challenge their beliefs and values in entrepreneurial ways.
