#837 What if we taught teens to build businesses before they ever needed a job? In this inspiring episode hosted by Kirsten Tyrrel, personal finance teacher Rob Phelan shares how he's helping the next generation launch real, revenue-generating businesses — right from the classroom. Rob dives into his own entrepreneurial journey, why time-based income has a ceiling, and how Teachers Pay Teachers became his favorite passive income stream.

Whether you're raising a young entrepreneur or looking to spark one in yourself, this episode is packed with real strategies, relatable stories, and resources to help you turn ideas into income!
