Bob Sutton of Broward County & Robert Kiyosaki Talk Money, Mindset, and Freedom
In a room filled with history, gold accents, and old-world craftsmanship at Mar-a-Lago, two financial education teachers stood side by side—each carrying a shared mission: teach everyday Americans how money really works.
On one side, Chairman Bob Sutton of Broward County—a high school Financial Literacy and Entrepreneurship teacher, business strategist, and advocate for economic empowerment.
On the other, Robert Kiyosaki—entrepreneur, investor, and author of the bestselling book Rich Dad Poor Dad.
Two men. Two journeys. One message: Financial education is the path to freedom.
From the Classroom to the Marketplace
Bob Sutton has spent years teaching students at Piper High School and throughout Broward County that financial literacy is not optional—it is essential.
He teaches:
Compound interest
ROI (Return on Investment)
Cash flow vs. earned income
Business ownership
The power of paying yourself first
His philosophy is simple: “I hear you. I believe what you say. But I can only measure your results.” Results matter. In business. In investing. In life.
Robert Kiyosaki’s teachings echo that same theme. Through Rich Dad Poor Dad, he challenged millions to rethink the traditional path of:
Go to school
Get good grades
Get a safe job
Save money
Instead, he teaches:
Acquire assets
Build businesses
Use debt wisely
Understand cash flow
Make money work for you
Why This Meeting Matters. Mar-a-Lago has hosted world leaders, business titans, and influential voices. But what makes this moment powerful is not politics or prestige. It is purpose. When two financial educators meet, the conversation isn’t about headlines—it’s about:
How do we prepare the next generation?
Why are so many Americans drowning in debt?
Why do schools teach algebra but not asset allocation?
How do we build financially free families?
Both men understand that:
Consumer debt is rising.
Financial illiteracy is widespread.
Many Americans work hard—but lack strategic financial direction.
And both believe that knowledge changes that.
Financial Literacy: The Great Equalizer
Financial education does not discriminate.
It works for:
The single parent
The high school student
The entrepreneur
The retiree
Understanding:
Assets vs. liabilities
Inflation
Tax strategies
Business ownership
Cash flow systems
…can change the trajectory of a family for generations.
Bob Sutton teaches students preparing for ESB certification that business ownership builds independence.
Kiyosaki teaches adults that financial freedom comes when passive income exceeds expenses. Different audiences. Same foundation.
A Shared Message: Freedom Through Knowledge
Mar-a-Lago is often described as a symbol of success and achievement. But success leaves clues.
Behind every estate, every business, every legacy is:
Financial discipline
Strategic planning
Risk management
Asset acquisition
Financial freedom is not luck. It is learned. And that is what these two teachers represent.
For the Students.
If you are a student reading this, understand something powerful:
You do not have to wait until you are 40 to learn how money works.
Start now:
Track expenses
Learn ROI
Study cash flow
Read Rich Dad Poor Dad
Build a side business
Invest in knowledge
Because the sooner you understand money, the sooner you control your future.
Final Thought
Two financial education teachers meeting at Mar-a-Lago is more than a photo.
It is a reminder that:
Financial literacy is patriotic.
Ownership matters.
Knowledge builds independence.
Freedom begins with understanding how money works.
And whether in a high school classroom in Broward County or on a global stage like Mar A LAGO, the mission remains the same:
Teach people how money works—so they can live free.
