My Family - Raising Money-Smart Kids

The Mad Fientist
About this episode

Over the last few years, I interviewed members of my family to find out two things:


  1. How I became the Mad Fientist (i.e. where did I get my extreme ideas about money)

  2. What advice they'd give to parents hoping to raise money-smart children

This is a short but sweet holiday episode to end the year and I hope you enjoy it!
