Wouldn’t it be incredible to learn about the economics in life through an outdoor experience that allows you to immerse yourself in a curriculum that helps young adults fully become responsible with their money in life?

In this episode, Jeff Brimhall, Ph.D., CFP®, CFA, and Benjamin Cummings, Ph.D., CFP® are joined by BYU Professor Mark Widmer who teaches an integrated course on the economy of life. He is focused on leading the youth in a positive direction through performance management at the Marriott School of Business.

  • How he offers his students a new perspective on relationships in their lives that can help build their identity
  • How the outdoor experience and break from technology that occurs in the curriculum provides his students with psychological and physical benefits
  • And more
