Ep 6: Run an Interest Out as Far as It Will Go

When a young adult is stalled at home, the big answer (a job, school, a plan) can look like a cliff. In this episode Dr. Ed Callahan shares what other families in the parent group have tried, from selling clothes and collectible cards online to 3D printing and crafts, what one online sale actually teaches, and how to scaffold a small venture without taking it over. Run an interest out as far as it will go, even if it never becomes a career.
