Today, we’re joined by powerhouse financial executive and author Mellody Hobson for an eye-opening conversation about how we teach — and often don’t teach — our kids about money. As co-CEO of Ariel Investments and author of Priceless Facts About Money, Mellody believes that the path to financial literacy starts with our youngest learners.
Together, Jean and Mellody explore:
💸 Why the biggest money lessons often come from outside the classroom
🧠 How early exposure to financial realities can build confidence, not fear
📊 Practical ways to talk to kids about investing (hint: start with what they know and love!)
🛠️ Whether giving an allowance actually works
🔁 And why bartering is the perfect way to teach kids the difference between price and value.
