Contact@PrettyandPunk.com In this episode of the Entrepreneur Parents Pretty and Punk Podcast, Ildiko and Dan open up about the launch of their children’s brand-new show, The Entrepreneur Kids Podcast. But this conversation goes far beyond podcasting, it’s about parenting with intention, building legacy, and raising children to become leaders, not just followers. They share the deeper reason behind giving their kids the responsibility of running their own podcast, how it’s helping them learn the value of hard work, creativity, discipline, and contribution. This isn’t about chasing fame or likes, it’s about planting seeds of ownership and resilience early on. Dan and Ildiko also break down why they believe entrepreneurial thinking should start at home and how it equips kids to handle life with confidence and purpose. They discuss the power of letting children lead, the lessons kids absorb when they watch their parents build, and why it’s so important to allow them to take risks and solve problems while they’re still young. Listeners will hear about the behind-the-scenes of how Daniel David and Destiny have been involved in podcasting, why they were inspired to start their own show, and how this new adventure is helping them not only grow, but also inspire other kids around the world.
