Tony Bradshaw joins host Sam Sells to share a bold vision for building wealth with purpose, starting with everyday families and kids. Tony explains why he prioritizes “millionaire plans” for employees and children over traditional business growth, and lays out his idea of a $10,000 trust fund for every child in America to create real, compounding wealth instead of symbolic gestures.

Drawing from his personal finance journey, Tony talks about shifting from a scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset, and why that mental change is the foundation of financial success. He and Sam explore the power of financial literacy, including Tony’s concept for a 12-year money curriculum for kids, and how better education could reduce entrepreneurial failure and transform communities long-term.

The conversation also touches on mixed-income housing, reversing the flow of money from banks back to individuals, and practical ways to protect against corruption through decentralized financial structures. Throughout, Tony and Sam emphasize community, purpose, and surrounding yourself with people who push you toward growth, financially and personally.
