AOA 064: Empowering Financially Independent Teens: A Parent's Journey - With Guest Samantha Paxson (And Guest Co-host Robin Taub)
As your tweens start to get curious about money, are you wondering how to have conversations about what it means, what it’s worth, and what it can do for them? In this special episode, I speak with Samantha Paxson. Sam is trying to raise her 11yo son, Finn, to be money-smart. I heard Sam talk about her son's burgeoning interest in investing (yes, at age 11!) when she was on stage at the CU Relevant conference, at which we were both speaking. I immediately thought you'd enjoy it if we turned the tables and let my guest ask me questions. Like we did in episode 59 with Kelly Mindell, Sam Paxson comes today with bunch of questions that will be relevant to parents of tweens and teens who are on their own money-smart journeys. And once again, I've invited my former guest and fellow money-smart movement co-conspirator Robin Taub, a youth money-expert in her own right, to join me as a co-host. Samantha Paxson is Chief Experience Officer for Co-op Solutions. She is the architect of the company’s enterprise change management, go-to-market and experience strategy. An accomplished speaker and thought leader, Paxson founded Co-op THINK, an innovation content platform empowering the evolution of mission-driven financial services. Over her 20-year career, Paxson’s focus has been on the intersection of technology, purpose and experience. Paxson is a graduate of the University of Southern California with a degree in Journalism and Social Sciences, and holds an MBA from USC’s Marshall School of Business. She is also a board leader at USC Credit Union. In short, Sam knows the financial industry. My co-host today is Robin Taub, a CPA, keynote speaker and bestselling author. Her latest award-winning book, The Wisest Investment: Teaching Your Kids to Be Responsible, Independent and Money-Smart for Life, gives parents the information, strategies and inspiration they need to teach their kids about money. She holds a Bachelor of Commerce (with High Distinction) from the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto. Robin puts her money where her mouth is and has two (mostly) money-smart young adults, a son and a daughter.
