This episode of Reading With Your Kids featured discussions about entrepreneurship and business with teenagers Finley Scurlock and Jason Liaw, authors of the book "Down to Business." The authors shared their experiences interviewing over 50 entrepreneurs for the book and encouraged other teens to pursue their passions. They credited their success to taking risks at a young age.
The speakers discussed how Gen Z and Gen Alpha are entrepreneurial generations who want to solve problems through business. However, entrepreneurship education is lacking in schools. They argued it should be a fundamental part of learning.
Jason found inspiration from the story of Mei Chu, who scaled her candle business from soup cans into a multimillion dollar company. Other entrepreneurs like Danielle Vincent and Jenny Bauer provided guidance through challenges like failure and differentiation.
The host emphasized that entrepreneurship is about making a positive impact regardless of business size. Representation in books was highlighted through stories celebrating Muslim holidays Ramadan and Eid. Author Sahtina Abaza discussed the importance of books providing a window into other cultures.
