Jason Brown – Farming With His Kids

Jason Brown and his wife, Tay, live with their children in North Carolina. Brown, who used to play in the NFL, walked away from a big NFL contract. He and his family bought a farm. Jason learned how to farm and then taught his kids those skills. Now they are growing and harvesting over 100,000 pounds of vegetables and fruits. They donate a lot of food to people in need. What a great way to pay it forward and to be an role model for his kids. 

Kenneth Womack – Teaching Kids About Money At Chuck E Cheese 

Kenneth Womack took his kids to Chuck E. Cheese. Besides having pizza and fun, he taught them a lesson about life and finances. When they walked in they were ready to play but as we passed the prize desk. Kenneth told them to pick out what they wanted. What they chose was 3500 tickets combined. He told them if you want that you’re gonna have to get enough tickets to buy it. He got them 100 minutes of free play. Womack was teaching his kids to work smarter not harder. He did this when he showed them the games that will maximize their “income” aka tickets for the rest of the time they had left. 

Yes those games were less fun, but they understood that they had to do it to get what they wanted. So they hustled and by time it was over they had 4138 tickets. They achieved their goal with a little to spare for some candy. He told them in life it’s gone be things you can’t afford starting out but with hard work, determination, discipline, and studying you will be able to get what you want.
