We’re joined by Shannon Lee Simmons — award-winning Certified Financial Planner, speaker, bestselling author, Chartered Investment Manager, founder of the New School of Finance, and personal finance writer for The Globe and Mail and CBC Radio’s Metro Morning money columnist. Her new book, Making Bank, is written specifically for teens and covers everything from managing money earned through part-time jobs and allowances to saving, spending, and even investing. Shannon also dives into the topics today’s teens are genuinely curious about — like crypto, stock memes, online sports betting, and how to afford their Sephora hauls. Whether you’re a parent of a teen or just want to better understand how this next generation is thinking about money, this conversation is full of practical insight and useful takeaways.
