199 - Taryn and Shawn Watts: How To Grow A Family of Mindful Entrepreneurs
Show Notes

Nick Hughes is joined by Taryn Watts founder The Mind Rebel Academy and Shawn Watts  founder and CEO of Corfix from Ottawa, CAN. Taryn Watts and Shawn Watts truly want their kids to see the hard days where they're sad or when they have negative emotions. They don't want their children to think life is easy, so that whenever they become adults, they'll be able to move through fears in a healthy way because they've seen their entrepreneur parents do it while crafting their dreams.  

The episode starts with Nick asking the couple about their background and journey into entrepreneurship. We learn why they started down this path and their frustrating thoughts of mediocrity and just a stable paycheck. They also talk about both being entrepreneurs within the couple and the pros and cons of that experience. They then shift to parenting in today’s world, and Encouraging entrepreneurship? How do they raise mindful children and show them the realities of the ups and downs of entrepreneurial life. They talk about how it's normal to feel like an imposter sometimes, but also showing them now to move past that and into truth will set them up for success in the future. We then hear a bit about each other's businesses and then they end the conversation with their Advice to early stage entrepreneurs. This is a fun inspiring interview with a hard charging family of entrepreneurs, we hope it helps you today.
