FinCap Friday: Let's Talk Money

We're kicking off this new season of FinCap Friday with a topic that's often swept under the rug: money conversations. Ever wonder why money continues to be one of those hush-hush topics we're told to avoid, just like politics or religion? Well, we can all challenge the norm by talking about money more openly! We encourage you to empower your students to break the silence by sharing their thoughts and exploring how we can all become more financially resilient. Tune in to this week's FinCap Friday episode below, and let’s get talking!
