My Son Made $200,000 in 5 Months | Running the Family Business

Описание: In this episode of Legacy Launchpad, Leah sits down with her eldest son, Ryder, to unpack one of the most unexpected and powerful case studies to ever come out of the family business.

What started as a “slow season experiment” — launching a second candle brand in just 30 days — quickly turned into a full-scale apprenticeship in entrepreneurship, responsibility, and growth. Within six months, Ryder stepped into the driver’s seat of the brand’s marketing and helped scale it past multiple six figures, including nearly $50,000 in December alone.

This conversation will inspire you about what happens when a young entrepreneur goes all in, takes ownership, and stops treating business like a side hobby. Leah and Ryder break down how homeschooling, character training, and real responsibility created the foundation for fast growth — and why the real limiting factor in business is almost never the business itself.

From quitting a job and joining the family venture, to running ads, writing copy, launching campaigns, and making executive decisions, Ryder shares what it’s actually like to be thrown into the deep end — with guidance, accountability, and real stakes.

This episode is especially powerful for:
Parents raising entrepreneurial kids
Young adults unsure if they’re “ready” for business
Entrepreneurs stuck at the same income ceiling
Anyone caught in tire-kicker mode instead of ownership mode
It’s honest, practical, and deeply encouraging — without sugarcoating the work it takes to grow.
