#71: Farhad Azizi on "Are We Destroying Our Children's Work Ethic?"

Ever tried doing a podcast after being 18,000ft in the air?!!

Farhad Azizi, CEO of Azizi Group challenged me, and our podcast conversation got deep...

I come from a working-class family - my dad went bankrupt when I was just 7 years old. So I remember working very hard in my childhood, saving up, and the excitement I felt when I bought my first pair of Nike Air Max sneakers! This taught me VALUE.

But we see a lot of children these days getting what they want WITHOUT working for it. What will this mean for our children’s futures if we DON’T teach them how to work for what they want?! Farhad Azizi and I share our thoughts on The Spencer Lodge Podcast.
