In this episode of The Wealthy Way, I sit down with Scott Donnell, CEO of Hapbee Technologies and creator of the GravyStack™ banking app for kids and families. Scott’s background is impressive—he’s taught leadership, fitness, and financial literacy to over 6 million kids across the nation. We dive into his approach to raising financially savvy children and the key values he believes every parent should pass on.
Scott talks about embracing healthy struggle and why it’s so important for a child’s development. We discuss the balance between stepping in to solve your kids' problems and letting them figure things out on their own. If your kids are unmotivated or seem uninterested, Scott shares how to get them back on track using effective strategies like value creation thinking and his family economy system.
We also get into brain development through "brain gigs," and why storytelling is a vital skill for both parents and kids. Scott explains the difference between heritage and inheritance, and how it’s the former that truly shapes a child’s future. He also gives practical tips on deciding how many kids to have, and why some people delay marriage.
We wrap up by talking about balancing wealth with strong parenting, valuing experiences over money, and the powerful role moms play in a family. Scott also emphasizes the importance of having the right people in your inner circle, and the value of simple traditions like family dinner time.
