Talking to Our Kids About Money - Episode 817

The Scholarship GPS Podcast: Your Directions to a Debt-Free College Degree

Danny Kofke worked as a school teacher for 18 years; he has written several personal finance books, including A Bright Financial Future: Teaching Kids about Money Pre-K Through College for Lifelong Success. Danny has appeared on numerous national television shows, including Fox & Friends, CNN's Newsroom, The 700 Club, and MSNBC Live. Danny has been interviewed on over 600 radio shows and featured in publications such as The Wall Street Journal, Huff Post, and Money Magazine. Danny is one of my colleagues at Mentoro, where he serves as a Motivational Mentor.

In our conversation, Danny shares his views on:

• How to lead young people to be better money managers and achieve financial success, and how social media can make that harder.

• How to help young people understand the value of work, budgeting, and long-term goals, and how your actions as a parent speak louder than words.

• Whether teens can truly understand the impact of student loans and how to have conversations about debt.

• Whether teens and college students should have credit cards.

• And much more…

To connect with Danny, go to MyMentoro.com and check out Danny’s podcast, Run With The Bulls.

Danny mentioned that, unlike when he and I were in college, students today need to be much more clear about their major and future career plans, and at a much younger age. If your student is unsure of their path, check out the fantastic programs offered by Flourish Coaching. Having college major and career clarity will not only help with college admissions, but it’s a key part of scholarship success. Go to FlourishCoachingCo.com/NoDebtMajors to learn more.

Scholarship GPS is my new online, on-demand, video-based course where I share my insights on how to find and earn scholarships. Each lesson is designed to be short, typically between three and ten minutes. This unique ‘bite-sized’ learning model is tailored to fit into your busy schedule, empowering you to learn at your own pace.

As a Your Daily Scholarship subscriber, you can get access to the course before the general public.

It's important to note that the course is a work in progress. While there are still lessons to be added, over 30 lessons are already uploaded and ready for viewing, and new lessons will be added regularly. This allows you to hit the ground running while new lessons are being prepared and added regularly.

One of the things that makes Scholarship GPS unique is the BONUS LESSONS included in the course. I know scholarships, but I don’t know college admissions, test prep, or other things related to college prep. But I do know professionals with expertise in those things. These trusted professionals have lessons INCLUDED in the course—a kind of high-level “101” introduction to their area of expertise.
