Kid Entrepreneurs Making a Difference

Many of you know that Mason has started an Entrepreneur Club at his school. There are kids in grades 6-8 in the club and it's been super fun hearing their ideas and watching them take action to make their own money. Mason was asked to put something together for the Kids Expo so we put together a panel of young entrepreneurs for a Q&A on Saturday at the expo. TJ who is the young founder of the expo, Layla and Mya who have a business called Suga-Babes body products and of course, Mason with Mason Made Products.

They did the media rounds leading up to the big day with Morning Blend with Mark S. Allen on ABC News 10 on Friday, and then Saturday morning they appeared on Good Day Sacramento. These kids are AMAZING!! Really, they are learning and growing at such a rapid pace, speaking more articulately and presenting themselves as polished and professional with each new appearance. The day of the expo, they answered questions and were spot on with the correct information and advice. I am so proud to be on this journey with Mason and I love seeing other kids making these impressive strides as well.

Listening to the news and hearing all the negative news, it's easy to think that this world is going to hell in a handbasket, but I'm here to tell you, we are raising young people who will make this world a better place, heck, not will, they are making this world a better place right now.

While Mason was making the media rounds I was hearing people say, "Mason is so well spoken. He really has a gift for speaking and being on camera. He's a natural." I agree with most of that, the part about being a natural reminds me of how often people will note that someone is an overnight success, someone who has been playing or performing for years! Mason is a "natural" who has been practicing being on camera since he's been 8 years old. He's 14 now, so that's six years and over 130 videos on Youtube that make him naturally experienced! LOL! I have been feeling more and more proud of Mason and I see him finding wild success in his life.

Mason Shot His First SAG Film

Okay, this is a total “Proud Mom” moment and it’s going to embarrass Mason so I won’t tag him. HE’S IN THE CREDITS!!! I love seeing my boy’s name on the screen, I think my mascara is running. Thank you Mark for giving Mason this opportunity, sincerely, thank you. 🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻     It was fun watching Mason do his TV-thing for an episode of Extra Butter earlier this week with Mark S. Allen, Alexa Renee, Kelly Savanna Deaton, and Bruce the VR Evangelist. What an awesome day it was. They were talking all things Ready Player One coming out later this week.

And since we are talking about Mason and show business, one year ago this week, he was spending his very first day on a movie set filming his first movie. #APParition I know editing is darn near done, and I can’t wait to hear when it’ll be out.

This was Mason's first film and it was a doozy! He had to wear white zombie contact lenses, he got to wear and learn how to apply Hollywood makeup, he swam in a creepy 55-degree concrete swimming pool which means he did his own stunt, and he shaved his head! Seriously, this kid is living the dream making movies, but the real question is, whose dream is he living? LOL! Yes, he's living my dream and I am living vicariously through him. With that said, he is also living his dream as well, at least as far as he's been dreaming thus far.
