Debt can either become a powerful tool for growth or one of the biggest mistakes a child care business owner makes. In this episode of the Child Care Genius Podcast, Brian sits down with Child Care Genius CFO Thomas Fernandez for a practical and eye-opening conversation about borrowing money, building wealth, and making smart financial decisions in business. Tune in as they discuss the difference between smart debt and dangerous debt, why leveraging other people’s money can help accelerate growth, and how to avoid common financial traps that hold owners back.
Listen in as Brian and Thomas break down the importance of building strong banking relationships, preparing yourself financially before applying for a loan, and understanding what lenders are really looking for when evaluating your business. They also talk about personal financial statements, business credit, down payments, credit scores, and why understanding your numbers is one of the most important leadership skills you can develop as an owner.
Join us for a real-world conversation filled with practical advice, relatable stories, and encouragement for both new and experienced child care entrepreneurs. Whether you’re hoping to buy your first center, invest in real estate, expand your business, or simply improve your financial confidence, this episode offers valuable insight to help you think differently about money, lending, and long-term growth.
