Pediatric gastroenterologist Michele Cho-Dorado discusses her article, "Empowering our children with financial literacy: Raising bold thought leaders and compassionate changemakers." In this episode, Michele draws from her experience as a physician to highlight the financial struggles many doctors face—student debt, lifestyle inflation, and a lack of money management skills—despite years of sacrifice. She argues that teaching children financial literacy can break this cycle, equipping them with the tools to earn, save, invest, and give wisely. Beyond personal finance, Michele emphasizes integrating value creation, empathy, and leadership into financial education. She encourages parents to teach kids to solve problems and serve others, fostering entrepreneurial thinking and social responsibility. Listeners will discover actionable strategies to raise confident, compassionate children who use money as a tool for positive impact, preparing them to be the innovative leaders of tomorrow.
