The 20SomethingRoast Podcast: Career Strategy for 20Somethings


“Daddy’s Money” v.s. “I Grind Money”

August 30, 2014

Paris Hilton and Daymond John.
No one embodies what this podcast episode is all about more than Paris Hilton and Daymond John.
A New York socialite that, from the outside looking in, appears to be famous for little more than being birthed in a rich family, Paris Hilton continues to a polarizing, symbolic figure of "Daddy's Money".
What is Daddy's Money? It's the idea that people are given money from their parents (mom or dad or both) without having really worked for it it or earned it.
And whether the claims that Paris Hilton is famous for no good reason are true or not, Paris Hilton's birthing into wealth and fame can conflict with the values and way in which you grew up. The idea of working hard, being fair and never stopping your pursuit of what you want most despite all the roadblocks you are going to face.
Many of us refer to this concept as "Grinding".
It's the idea that you have to earn every dollar you get, never stepping on the backs of others as you climb the ladder and being sure to remember where you came from no matter what. The idea of grinding comes perfectly in the shape of Daymond John. Daymond John went from selling $10 hats out the trunk of his car to creating an international know clothing company, being worth $250 million.

So if you come from nothing, struggled as you were growing up and had to work tirelessly to get to where you are and want to go, I want you to know I am right there with you.

This podcast eposide is for you if:

You've ever felt like everyone around you has had a upper advantage in the game of life because their parents were rich
You understand the value of working smart and realizing that everyone can succeed in life, not just certain people
You know in your heart of hearts that you are willing to grind in your career for anything and everything you ever want most
