What if your child could say “investment” before they could spell it?

In this heartfelt and deeply practical episode, Iván Watanabe and Evan Wohl welcome Dr. Michele Cho Dorado, a pediatric gastroenterologist turned financial literacy advocate for kids. Michele shares how her own lack of financial education, despite years of medical training, led her to write a series of children’s books that teach money concepts through stories and play.

Together, they explore how families can normalize money conversations, build values-driven wealth legacies, and raise empowered, financially confident children. It’s not about raising rich kids, it’s about raising capable ones.
