Caden Harris: A Young Pioneer of Financial Literacy and Entrepreneurship

Can you imagine being the CEO of your own company at 13 years old? That's the reality Caden Harris is crafting with his innovative 'Caden Teaches' initiative, a project captivating youngsters with the allure of financial wisdom through flashcards, books, and a mobile classroom experience. Caden has been featured on Good Morning America and spoken at institutions such as Rutgers University.

During our heartfelt conversation, Caden tells us about his financial literacy bus—a classroom on wheels that ignites children's imaginations and encourages them to reach for entrepreneurial stars. His stories underscore the significant roles that schools, parents, and mentors play in shaping financially savvy citizens.

We are joined by Nyla Lawrence, a local high school student who recently completed a similar financial BootCamp experience. Nyla and Kim take this opportunity to pick the brain of this 13-year-old high school graduate phenom and learn what drives Caden to teach other young people about financial literacy. 

Join us for an inspiring episode that's bursting with the triumphs and aspirations of this remarkable young man, as he navigates and redefines the landscape of financial literacy and entrepreneurship.
