#070. In this episode, Justin sits down with Nejeed Kassam — entrepreneur, father, and co-founder of Snowball 72 — to dive deep into how we can equip the next generation with the financial skills they desperately need. Nejeed shares his entrepreneurial journey, from launching his first business at age 14 to building and exiting a successful fintech company, and now launching CoPi — a groundbreaking AI-powered financial assistant designed to help young people take control of their money.
We cover:
- How Nejeed’s immigrant family story shaped his drive and entrepreneurial grit
- Why most kids (and many adults) still lack basic financial literacy
- What inspired him to launch Snowball 72 and pivot from a video game to an AI-based assistant
- How CoPi empowers youth to learn, plan, and take action with their finances — judgment-free
- Real-world advice on how parents can model money habits at home
- Simple strategies Nejeed and his wife use to teach their own kids about money
Whether you're a parent, entrepreneur, or someone passionate about the future of financial education, this episode is packed with wisdom and practical inspiration.
