This week Mykail is joined by Tanya Van Court founder of Goalsetter. Tanya went from being an Executive at Nickelodeon to helping kids and families learn how to save money. Because, more than anything, she wants every kid to have a shot at a great life - not just those whose parents are Financial Whizzes or Wall Street Bigwigs.

Major Take-Aways:

Start teaching children about money as early as possible
Goalsetter is how families learn money together
