Keep It Movin'...
This episode discusses the ways a family evolves from generation to generation. If you wonder why your younger siblings seem to have better clothes, more resources and generally a better standard of living after you’ve grown up and moved out, you will relate to this episode. Andre and Anitra explore the complexity of family evolution and the impact of improved wealth and status that often comes with family progression. The tradition of passing down your best to your children is fleshed out and the pros and cons when materialism, envy and lost traditions emerge through family transformation.

Many younger siblings take advantage of not experiencing the mistakes of their parents by virtue of parents evolving and figuring it out. This episode will help you move beyond the parental/familial limitations using the growth mindset foundation as a springboard to personal and family evolution. If you want to take the leap to progression, this is the episode for you. You can be the trailblazer of your family. Enjoy this episode that paints a clear picture of how two siblings “Keep It Movin...”
