In this value-packed episode, I'm joined by financial coach and author Scott Yamamura, who’s on a mission to make money talk feel less like “talking about your underwear” (his words!) and more like an everyday skill we all need to pass down. We explore why financial literacy starts at home—and how to talk about money with your kids, even if you never learned it yourself.
From simple investment principles to building a custodial account with your teen, Scott breaks down his signature Three Financial Epiphanies that every parent and teen should know. This episode will change how you think about saving, spending, and investing—and it might just double your teen’s financial confidence (and their savings!).
You’ll learn:
- Why teens actually care about money when it’s connected to their goals
- The 3 financial epiphanies that simplify investing and saving
- How to model good money habits, even if you’re still learning
- Ways to start money convos with kids as young as 7
- What it means to “fund your purpose” and raise money-wise humans
Whether your teen is dreaming of college, a first job, or financial freedom, this episode is your blueprint to help them get there—with clarity and confidence.
