Leah Ellis on When Children Become Leaders and Problem Solvers

Children are naturally curious, creative, and willing to try things many adults hesitate to attempt. When we give them space to explore ideas, incredible things can happen.

In this conversation, I speak with Leah Ellis, founder of the Society of Child Entrepreneurs, a nonprofit helping kids ages six to seventeen build confidence, leadership, and real world business skills through hands on entrepreneurship.

Inspired by her daughter starting a business at four, Leah created a program where children learn to spot problems, create solutions, and turn their ideas into real businesses. We also talk about her work advocating for lemonade stand laws that remove barriers so kids can safely run small businesses and gain real world experience.

Her mission is simple. Kids are capable of leadership right now.

In this episode

• Why ages eight to twelve are a powerful window for entrepreneurship
 • The difference between child labor and child entrepreneurship
 • How kids learn resilience by failing forward
 • Teaching financial literacy and leadership early
 • Why problem spotting is the heart of entrepreneurship

Leah leaves us with this challenge:
“Ask your kids how in this specific way. Ask your kids something they’ve noticed that they wish they could change. Then ask them how they would change it, because I bet they already have an idea. If you ask how enough times, you can build a business. So go ask your kids how and let them start a business.”
