Paul Compeau: Why Your Child's College Success Starts in Elementary School

Ever wonder how to set your kids up for success in college and beyond? In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Paul Compeau, founder of Bridgewise College Planning, to explore why early parental involvement isn't just important—it's essential for your child's future.

Paul shares his journey from corporate success to helping families navigate the complex world of college planning, including:

• Why asking "What problem do you want to solve?" is more powerful than "What job do you want?"
• The surprising link between early financial lessons and future success
• How to reframe your approach to college planning, starting as early as elementary school
• The unexpected benefits of exposing your children to diverse career paths

Plus, Paul reveals his foolproof strategy for ensuring your kids are prepared for college, both academically and financially.

Key takeaways:
• The 'quality time' mindset shift that can transform your parenting
• Why your child's college journey starts long before high school
• How to create a college-ready resume that stands out to admissions officers
• The power of leading with high expectations in every aspect of your child's life

Whether you're a new dad or a seasoned pro, this episode will challenge you to rethink your approach to parenting and inspire you to create a more intentional, future-focused relationship with your children.
