We believe that education is the cornerstone to correcting the challenges in our
society: racism, poverty, substance abuse to name a few. Through our books and
workshops we have dedicated our time to educating teens and parents to taking the
simple steps necessary to ensure a stress-free and prosperous future.
Let’s consider for a moment the war on drugs. Billions of dollars have been spent to
keep drugs out of the U.S. market, resulting in a seizure/elimination rate estimated
at 10% or less. With such a dismal success rate, any other program would be
eliminated immediately. But, what are the alternatives? There is an argument to be
made for legalization, which is the preferred path for the countries of Latin America.
We have a different view.
Let’s apply the laws of supply and demand instead. If you eliminate the demand,
then the supply becomes irrelevant. Instead of eliminating after-school programs
and sports leagues in budget cuts, we need to pour money into them. We need to
invest in entrepreneurial training and support for students and adults. Most people
have at least one good to great idea that could be developed into a moneymaking
stream doing something they love and in which they believe. When people are doing
something in which they’re engaged, they have no time for drugs.
