One enrollment includes parent + teen · Join from home · Replays included
Your teenager is about to make real money decisions.
A paycheck. A bank account. A credit card offer in the mail. A car. An apartment. A hundred decisions nobody ever sat them down and explained.
Most of us figured it out the hard way — and paid for the lesson. You don’t have to let them.
Here’s the thing though: you already know you should be having these conversations. That’s not the problem. The problem is that nobody hands you a way to start one.
So we start one for you.
Here’s what a session actually looks like. I put a real decision in front of everybody:
You earned $1,000 this summer.
What should you do with it?
You and your teenager talk it over. You make a choice.
Then I change something. What if you also had $800 of credit card debt? You reconsider. What if that $1,000 could buy equipment that lets you start earning? You reconsider again.
Only then do we talk about the principle underneath it.
That’s the whole design. The concepts get taught because they help answer a real question — not the other way around. And the conversation that matters doesn’t happen in a room full of strangers. It happens between the two of you.
Nobody has to be on camera. Ever.
The four weeks
Every Tuesday at 5:00pm Pacific / 8:00pm Eastern. Sixty minutes. Can’t make one live? The replay is yours.
What is money actually for?
Why two people who earn exactly the same amount end up living completely different lives.
I got paid. Now what?
A first real paycheck, start to finish. What happens to it, what it actually says, and what to do with it.
Which money decisions follow you for years?
Credit, debt, interest — and the one enormous advantage a teenager has that no adult can buy back.
What kind of life do you want money to help you build?
Careers, investing, owning things, and what the life they actually want might cost.
By the last session, your teen will have written their own Money Choices Plan — in their words, not fill-in-the-blanks — and read it out loud to you.
We don’t just want young people to know more about money.
We want them to know how to think when a money decision shows up.
And we want you beside them while they’re learning to do it. This isn’t new — school districts have paid up to $5,000 to run it for their students. This is the first time I’m offering it to families.

If it isn’t right for your family, tell me.
Come to all four weeks and do the work together. If your family doesn’t have at least one conversation worth having, I’ll refund every dollar — not a trial period, the whole thing. Just email me. No form, no argument. I’d rather earn your trust than keep your money.
One more thing — for your teen.
When I ran this in schools, some of the students came back the next term to co-teach it with me. That was the best part of the whole thing.
So after this cohort, I’ll invite one or two teens to help shape what comes next — a future session, a money club, maybe something at their own school. If your teenager leans in, there’s somewhere for that to go.
“Those workshops and that program helped so much back then — and made me much smarter with my money.”

Want to learn to teach this yourself?
Some of you reading this aren’t here for your own teenager. You’re a teacher, a homeschool parent, a coach, a youth leader — and you’ve been thinking you’d like to run something like this for the young people already in your life.
If you were about to ask whether you could bring your whole group to this — you can, but I don’t think you should. Six students watching me is worth far less than you learning to run it for six students, and then sixty.
So I’m opening a handful of Founding Facilitator seats in this first cohort.
You come to all four Tuesday sessions and watch the whole program run. Then we meet for 45 minutes after each one, just the facilitators, and I walk you through what I was actually doing — why I opened that way, which question fell flat, what I’d change. In week three, you lead a piece of it yourself.
By September 29 you’ll have seen this program start to finish, with the reasoning underneath it. In October, you run your own group and I’ll join one of your sessions.
There’s no charge for these seats. I’m asking for something better: tell me everything that doesn’t work. What you learn in that first room of your own is what the certification gets built from.
Five seats, and I want to have a conversation with each person first — not because it’s exclusive, but because I want to know about your room before you say yes.

I wrote a guide called 10 Money Questions That Get Teens Thinking. No lecture, no worksheet — just good questions you can ask in the car, over dinner, or on a walk. Pick one tonight.
Each one comes with follow-ups, reframes, and what to listen for. It’s the same approach I use in the program, small enough to try tonight. If a question opens something up, you’ll know whether the four weeks are for your family. If not, you still keep the questions.
On its way.
Check your inbox in a minute — the questions are in there. Ask one this week, then hit reply and tell me how it went. I read every one.

Who I am
I’ve spent nearly 20 years in financial education and retirement planning, and I’ve written four books on money — including two novels for teenagers that schools now use in the classroom.
I’ve run this program for school districts, and something happened that I didn’t expect. Kids told me afterward that they felt more confident about money — and that they wanted to talk to their parents about it more.
Some of them came back the next term to co-teach it with me, as paid interns.
That’s why this version exists. The parent is in the room this time.
Questions
Does my teen have to be on camera?
No. Nobody is on camera — not even other families. You watch together on one screen.
How old should my teen be?
It’s built for parents and their teens. Most families tell us they wish they’d done it sooner.
What if we miss a week?
Every session is recorded and sent to you. Watch it together whenever it works.
I have two teenagers. Do I pay twice?
No. One price covers your family — bring both.
I’m a teacher or youth leader. Can I bring a group of students?
You’re welcome to bring one or two — just register as their responsible adult and come with them. But if you’re thinking about a whole group, I’d rather teach you to run it than have you all watch me do it. That’s what the Founding Facilitator seats are for, and there’s no charge for them.
Is this financial advice?
No. It’s financial education — how money works and how to think about your choices. For decisions specific to your situation, talk to a qualified professional who knows the whole picture.
Is this about paying for college?
No — that’s a different specialty and I won’t pretend otherwise. This is about how money actually works and what your teen wants to build with it.
Do we need to read the books first?
Not at all. You get all four of my books digitally the moment you enroll, and they support the conversations rather than drive them.
Four Tuesdays. One conversation you’ll be glad you had.
