For most of my adult years, I spent the first week of July working with youth entrepreneurs-to-be. Teens, generally derided by older generations as slackers, willingly and enthusiastically participate in summer programs to challenge themselves.

There are 365 days per year. In the United States, students attend on average, 180 school days per year. Approximately 125 days are comprised of either weekends or holidays.

In today’s world, our children clearly have too much access to media and technology.  While we don’t know the full impact, we can say that ubiquitous access has created unrealistically high expectations on our children and an insatiable drive by many parents for their children to excel at everything!

Young people love socialism. Can a summer of indoctrination teach little Hermione and Khaleesi to love capitalism?

We’ve heard it time and again—growing up is never easy. It can be filled with great joys as well as difficult experiences that shape a young persons’ life at a very early age.

According to a recent Gallup Poll, 4 out of 5 college students believe it is very important to have a job that aligns directly with their purpose.

As parents and educators, we work hard to shape and guide our young people to live happy and fulfilling lives. We live in a very competitive world where the pressures of school, peers and adults can have a very negative and lasting impact. According to the 2018 NAMI Report, 1 in 5 teenagers, ages 13-18 live with a mental health condition.

As we frequently discuss at BIZNOVATOR, the technology landscape and global economy are being transformed faster than at any point in our history. While this massive change can be very unsettling for many, we believe it represents massive opportunity.

At BIZNOVATOR we empower the next generation of young entrepreneurs, social innovators and global leaders. The secret to our success is the consistent coaching and valuable insight we seek to provide to parents of aspiring children from as young as eight years old, through teen years.

As parents we all see the massive changes taking place around us. Technology innovations from social networks to advanced mobile platforms and changing the ways we consume content and view the world around us.
