Driven Young
Byron Dempsey
I started the Driven Young Podcast as a way to help educate and inspire the younger generation. There are plenty of amazing podcasts out there but I find very few tailors their content to those in high-school and uni. Even the ones that claim they do seem to go off track and fail to keep their message clear and simple for the younger generation to understand.I believe our world is changing so fast, the current education system can’t keep up and is left teaching us old and outdated skills no longer relevant in the workplace.This podcast explores what I believe should have been taught in school and aims to help people realise the world is different from when their parents grew up and we must make relevant decisions based on the world we live in currently not the world people used to live in

5. 13 Year Old Entrepreneur Shares His Advice To The Younger Generation
Today's episode is going to be a little different; this week, I decided to interview a guest overseas. He is based in Sweden…. and is only 13 years old.Next to him in this interview is his incredible father, and together they run a podcast called "Invest in you" focusing on helping people get control of their finances among many other things.Charlie is still a Jnr at high-school but has already started his entrepreneurial journey. Fredrick, his father, has multiple companies throughout the UK and mainly around finance and property.We explore entrepreneurship from a young age and talk about how social is affecting us and how it can be used to create money. Charlie gives his point of view as a 13-year-old on some exciting topics, and I get to see how his father has created a world of opportunity for him to follow his passion.This is an interesting episode, Charlie is by far my youngest guest, and I imagine he will be for a long time, but both of them have a lot of value to bring to the table.As usual, I will be putting up my favourite clips of this episode on Instagram and Facebook, feel free to go check them out and if you want to get in contact with me shoot me a dm.Charlie: https://www.instagram.com/charliesandvall/Frederick: https://www.instagram.com/entrepreneur4good/My Links:https://www.instagram.com/byron__dempsey/https://www.instagram.com/drivenyoungpodcast/https://www.facebook.com/ByronjDempseySupport the show Hosted on Acast.
