In this fun, family-focused episode of The Wisdom, Lifestyle, Money Show, host Scott Dillingham interviews his children, Isaiah (age 6) and Aubrey (age 9), sharing laughs about hobbies, summer adventures, and future dreams. Isaiah obsesses over Pokémon cards (recently scoring a rare Charizard), reveals his bike-riding trick (remove pedals/training wheels for balance), and plans to transform LendCity into a Pokémon store with card challenges. He dislikes online school for missing friends and recounts Niagara Falls highlights like arcades and buffets. Aubrey loves karate (learning self-defense), Harry Potter (redecorating her room with 9¾ wallpaper/brick theme), and aspires to acting—finding school "boring" overall but excited for new teachers. She shares Niagara tales (Dracula haunt, dizzy tunnel) and cottage/beach fun.
Scott ties in life lessons like negotiation (Isaiah's daily card pleas) and perseverance (Aubrey mastering Harry Potter game). Amid 2025's back-to-school shifts (post-COVID hybrid trends per Ontario reports, emphasizing social reconnection), this light-hearted chat highlights kids' perspectives on growth, family support, and simple joys—reminding listeners to embrace passions early. Perfect for parents/investors balancing work/family in 2025's evolving education landscape (e.g., digital fatigue noted in CMHC wellness studies), it inspires teaching entrepreneurship young while enjoying downtime.
