In this episode of "Little Give," we meet Aaliyah Kissick, a former pageant queen from a small town in central Illinois, who is now transitioning into the digital media and financial literacy space. Aaliyah shares her journey from winning national titles and being Miss Junior Teen Illinois United States 2015 to focusing on financial literacy during her pageant years.
She explains how her passion for financial literacy grew from her academic background in agricultural and consumer economics with a focus on financial planning and how this inspired her to create a digital media company, the Financial Literacy Diaries. Aaliyah discusses the challenges and importance of financial education in schools, advocating for better financial literacy mandates, and her efforts in policy advocacy and classroom visits.
Aaliyah delves into the emotional aspects of money, the importance of media literacy, and the concept of money as a tool. She introduces her upcoming book, "Money Doesn't Have to Suck," aimed at helping people navigate the emotional and informational overload related to personal finance. Aaliyah emphasizes the significance of understanding one's money story and how it can shape financial behaviors and decisions.
Throughout the episode, she provides practical advice on spending wisely and shares her personal experiences with financial literacy, offering insights and tools to help others take control of their financial future.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
