Transcript

Do you think your kids will follow in your footsteps? This is one that I have pretty mixed feelings on. Obviously, this career has treated me extremely well and I'm very pro- entrepreneurship. I believe that a business owner is likely to pay themselves more than any boss is ever likely to pay them. On the other hand, I wouldn't want them to go through some of the less glamorous sides of my job, especially cuz they don't really have to. I've talked before about how my kids could go to veterinary school and we'd be able to cover that for them. So, I would love it if they found something else to do. But I also can't deny that I'd be proud to see them carry on mine and Ivon's legacy. Firm answer, no, but it is an honest one. Mexico sponsors this Q&A series.
