Teen Wealth: Recent Episodes
Brandi England with Guest Co-Host
Teen Wealth inspires teens through sharing of stories and ideas, while tackling the tough subjects that our teens are confronted with. Each week we focus on different themes such as Eating Disorders, Mental Health, Entrepreneurship, Physical Health, Bullying, Self Esteem, LGBT, Money, Sex and Parenting. Within each theme, our different hosts share stories, tips and advice from their own personal experiences and we also invite parents, teachers and teens to share their own stories. Each week we choose a book and movie of the week, as well as issue a weekly challenge to teens so they can then share their results on our private Teen Wealth Radio Show Facebook Group. Our favorite section of the show is our Everyday Heroes section, where we highlight young people that are positively making a difference in our world.

David Simpsons essential message is that who we are, how we communicate and a variety of other elements of our everyday life are determined by our personality. Understanding our personality gives us insights into ourselves and why we do the things we do. Understanding the personality of others makes it easier to get along with others, to have more people want to hang around with you, and to reduce the amount of conflict in your life. Finally, our personalities are not cast in stone, and are not predetermined by our DNA – they are strongly influenced by the messages we receive from the world around us at an early age. These messages help form our values. Our values determine our personality. Change your values, and you can be any personality that you want, completely changing the path of your life. The method for changing personality is simple, but can take time. David has also been kind enough to offer a discount for all of our listeners - contact him at davidsimpson360.com
