Until they’re the ones committed in driving that, the parents matter and they matter greatly.” - Matt Beaudreau “Character matters. It’s that whole concept of alternative. We’re acting more as a workspace for young people. It’s actually a microcosm of the world we actually live in. Which makes me argue that traditional, conventional schooling is radically the alternative, and not an alternative that’s turning out well” - Matt Beaudreau “Your kids will do what you do far before you do what you say.” - Matt Beaudreau Connecting with the Guest: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mattbeaudreau Twitter: https://twitter.com/MattBeaudreau LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/matt-beaudreau-071a5b99/ Connect with our growing community: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/gobundance LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/gobundancegbl/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/GoBundance Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoBundance Subscribe to our GoBundance Podcast: Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/gobundance-podcast Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/.../gobundance.../id1110145229 Sitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/show/grab-life-big-podcast Not a millionaire yet but want to be a part of our ecosystem?
