In this episode of the Inflection Podcast, I chat with the Co-Founders of My First Nest Egg, Nicolle Hood and Annie Shoen.

Nicole and Annie share their journey of creating My First Nest Egg, a financial education app for kids. Inspired by their own children's lack of understanding about money, they embarked on a camping trip where the idea for the app was born.

After extensive research, they realized the need for an app that focused on habit formation and mindset development rather than just teaching about dollars and cents. With the help of a behavioral psychologist, they created an app for young children to cultivate healthy financial habits and a growth mindset.
