## Resource

Daniel and Allison Hartman are in roughly 70 schools a year through their photography business. That means they get a snapshot of about 40,000 young people. What they see is sobering, and it does not change between public, private, and homeschool. We have raised a generation of consumers who cannot do the normal things. This episode is the antidote. Daniel and Allison walk through how they build producers instead of takers, starting younger than most parents think is possible. A four-year-old who scrambles eggs for the family. A twelve-year-old who runs her own kefir business and cooks dinner for forty. Sons who frame houses, put on roofs, and build tiny homes debt free. None of it is bragging. All of it is the fruit of one decision: raise the bar and refuse to do for your children what your children can learn to do themselves. You will hear the family economy model, why "solve your problem" is the most important sentence in their home, and how letting a child be told no at a farmers market booth builds the competence that survives the real world. "The borrower is servant to the lender." (Proverbs 22:7, NKJV) They are raising children who will never live there.
