Raising Financially Fit Families with Joline Godfrey
In this podcast, we help parents and grandparents meet the challenge of preparing children for the future. We do this by offering an expanded idea of wealth, embracing the family’s intellectual, social, and human capital as well as their financial capital, or FISH assets as we think of them. Join us to explore financial education as Joline and her guests introduce ideas and strategies to empower, provoke, and support families preparing kids—from early childhood to young adulthood- for futures we can barely imagine.
