Julie Charlestein is part of the fourth-generation of Premier Dental, where she currently serves as CEO.

Listen in to hear Julie's family business story—a story that began in 1913 by her great-grandfather, Julius Charlestein, who worked as a dental instrument sharpener. Julius saw an opportunity to pivot into sales, first as an agent for manufacturers looking for representation, and eventually shifting to the product development and manufacturing company that Premier is today.

Julie also shares lessons learned from her experience joining the family business and becoming CEO.

John Lanza and his wife recognized early on that they had very different money personalities. When they became parents 16 years ago, they agreed they wanted to raise money-smart kids and they wanted to find a way to make it fun. From there, they created The Money Mammals where John serves as Chief Mammal.

The Money Mammals is a cast of animal characters who sing, dance and talk about financial literacy. Their mantra is "Share & Save & Spend Smart Too!" The Money Mammals has been licensed to credit unions across the country and has also been adopted by many schools.
