Episode Description

In this episode, we sit down with Caden, the 15 year old CEO of Caden Teaches, who graduated high school at just 13 years old and is proving that age is not a limitation when it comes to building something meaningful. On a mission to empower and educate young minds, Caden is inspiring a new generation to take control of their financial future and pursue their dreams regardless of where they start. His message is simple and powerful: "If Caden Can, You Can Too."

We dive into Caden's journey as a young entrepreneur, from finishing high school years ahead of his peers to becoming a CEO before most teens get their driver's license. He shares how his father took him along to business meetings at a young age, which sparked his passion for money, and how he went on to write books, create financial flashcards, and become a sought after speaker. Caden also opens up about handling the word no and the challenge of raising the money to bring his biggest dream to life.

That dream is his Financial Learning Bus. At just 11 years old, Caden bought a school bus and, with the help of his father, transformed it into a mobile classroom on wheels that brings financial education directly to schools and communities. Inside, kids experience a mock bank, a mock grocery store, and tablet stations where they learn about earning, budgeting, saving, and investing through hands on experience. Caden has already taught around 50,000 kids, and his mission is to reach 500,000.

We also break down "The Cash Code," Caden's comprehensive program designed to give middle school students real financial literacy skills, from budgeting and saving to investing, while connecting real world scenarios to math and economics. His financial learning center features a mock banking station, a mock grocery store, and a mock stock exchange, giving kids a firsthand look at deposits, withdrawals, budgeting, and stocks. Whether you are a parent looking to raise money smart kids or a young person ready to start your own journey, this episode will leave you inspired to start now.
