Hi everybody!
Ok! So we have had RECORD temps here in Canada all across the country!
It's beeeeen cooking let me tell yah! 🥵
I mean we are talking about soooaring temperatures of above 40 C (104 F) in some places.
Whew!
Us Canadian's just aren't used to baking in the sun like this...
Soooooo! That's when we got to thinking... ABOUT LEMONADE!
And we were helped along with that zesty idea when out of the blue the Exodus T.E.A.M. contacted me in the DM's on Twitter!
Previously I had Tweeted out a picture of my two girls @littleM @tinyM (#Lemonpreneurs officially!) cheering behind the lemonade stand we had built together!
The people at Exodus were startingUP a Twitter conversation around the question of why our Schools (everywhere right?!) don’t teach financial education. (??!)
So I commented back, included the picture, and mentioned that I had been wondering about that (for quite some time now) as well… and had decided to do something about it!
Here's the Tweet if you wanna take a look! 👇

Before my oldest daughter, @littleM, enrolled in Kindergarten I decided that I would build a Lemonade Stand with her… I consider myself (and her mom) to be her first teachers and so I wanted something that would remind (us both!) of that AND be a practical focus point THAT WAS ALSO A FUN WAY TO LEARN, EARN, AND BOND!
Organization doesn’t come naturally… All you gotta do is watch a kid pull their books off bookshelves and dump toys on the fool realize that! Putting things back into place doesn’t come naturally and must be learned!
Same thing goes with Financial Education!
Kids need to learn how to think like business SHE-EO’s (and HE-EO’s) AND Savvy Little Investors!
They have to learn how to operate AND build an entrepreneurial venture:
- save
- spend
- treat their customers right
- pay their Tiny helpers (In lollypops lol!)
- sell their services or products
- think up new products!
- think and plan ahead
- do inventory
- count their money
...not to mention clean up after themselves! etc! etc! You name it!
Best thing about a Lemonade Stand is it can do all that AND MORE!
As it turns out my two #Lemonpreneurs, once they started accepting Bitcoin, also started gaining all sorts of world wide attention!
Elizabeth, from exodus.com, told me that my two girls had raving fans over there and that, ever since I had Tweeted out the picture and comment, that people in the company were talking about the girls little lemonade business! Everybody LOVED what they were doing and that they were accepting BTC for Lemonade!
Sweet! Sweet! (with a bit of Smart!) Success for my girls! You should have seen those SILLY GRINS when I told them that Exodus wanted to send them $100 in Bitcoin!!!
SERIOUSLY! At first their mouths drop wide open and you could almost see what dreams are made of! 🤩 (Well! You’ll get to see that in the video! HAHAHA!)
So, we decided to put together a little video (This is it!!!) as a way to thank Exodus for their super sweet generosity! I mean those people over there have stand up class! So much so that I am actually thinking of investing in the company! (There’s a way to do that if you download their wallet and look around! I didn’t know this until today but what an opportunity!)
Trust and real genuine connection are so hard to come by… And man-oh-man have I got a good lemon shot of that this week! THEY ARE JUST SO DARN NICE OVER THERE! And the level of authentic connection has been nothing short of AMAZING! VERY PROFESIONAL & VERY PERSONAL!
In my opinion, they are one of the premier Bitcoin Wallets & Exchanges out there! Wouldn’t you agree? Everyone in the crypto space has heard or used the Exodus wallet, right? And if you haven’t yet… You gotta give it a go! I have been using the Exodus Wallet for over 4 years now and THAT experience was what showed me WHAT EXACTLY transacting in Bitcoin could and would be like in the future… ONLY IT WAS RIGHT NOW!
I just LOVE the KA-CHING sound (and my girls do too!) the wallet makes every time some crypto lands in my wallet!
So YES!
This little video is a little THANK YOU to the wonderful people at Exodus!
You guys are GREAT and I want you all to know that you have 4 RAVING FANS over here in Canada!
So!
If you like Lemonade…
If you like Bitcoin…
And you have wee ones…
I just want to encourage YOU ALL!
Start a Lemonade Stand with your kids! Accept Bitcoin while your busy making Lemon zEsT! Annnnnd consider checking out the Exodus Wallet!
Kids + Lemons + Bitcoin = The #Lemonpreneurs of the Future! 🍋
Thank you EXODUS!!!
