In this episode of The Innovator’s Mindset Podcast, George Couros sits down with financial literacy advocate and author Dale Alexander to explore how we can better teach students and young adults about managing money. Dale shares his powerful 70-20-10 principle—spend 70%, invest 20%, and give 10%—and explains how starting financial education early can lead to lifelong financial success.

They discuss practical investing tips, including mutual funds, the power of consistent savings, and why most adults say, “I wish I learned this when I was 18.” Whether you're an educator, parent, or young adult, this conversation provides actionable strategies to help anyone build a strong financial foundation.
