Michael Rosenbaum

He basically uses the life lessons from his own father the poor dad.

And his best friend's father the rich dad.

To show how like different ways of thinking about money can lead to really different financial outcomes.

Yeah, it's all about mindset.

He says that how we think about money, the beliefs that we have about money, a lot of times come from how we grew up, you know, like our families and stuff.

And those beliefs can really make a big difference in whether or not we're successful with money.

So Kiyosaki's real dad, the poor dad, was super educated.

He had a PhD.

Yeah.

And he had a really good secure job with the government.

But even with all of that, he struggled with money his whole life.

Then you have the rich dad who was his best friend's father.

He never even finished the eighth grade.

Wow.

But he built this huge successful business and ended up being one of the richest guys in Hawaii.

Yeah, totally.

He uses these two guys to show us that, like, just because you have a good education or a steady job doesn't automatically mean you're going to be good with money.

Right.

There's definitely more to it.

He says that you need to understand how money works, like financial literacy.
