In Episode 3 we share our experience pitching our startup, Little Tusk, at a Shark Tank-style event—taking home $50,000 in prize money. We give you some insight on our company mission to teach financial literacy to kids and reflect on the challenges and joys of starting a business. Later, we're joined by comedian and former teacher Devin Siebold, who brings his signature humor and heartfelt stories about making an impact in and out of the classroom and talking about using song lyrics as lessons to help shape students.
