A:R Family, what's the good word?! I hope that you are doing well wherever you are listening to this episode. I hope the sun is shining on you and your dreams! If you've ever felt like you are being called to do more in your life, or that you want to help more people than you already are, then I encourage you to enjoy this episode. I am talking with Thomas Robb. He's the founder of Greenboost.co, an organization committed to empowering individuals and communities that, traditionally, have had little to no access to financial education and literacy. Prior to Greenboost, Thomas spent several years working on Wall Street in corporate equity research. It just so happened that one day, he noticed an otherwise common scene here in NYC - the flow of traffic in and out of a check cashing place. If you've lived in NYC for any period of time, you know that check cashing places are a staple of NYC culture - they're just there. He was curious, and started to ask questions. Once he realized that the people that were using the check cashing place were essentially throwing money away, he came up with an idea - to bridge that financial education gap. In this episode, Thomas shares with us how he was able to leverage his experiences in the capital markets to create curricula for the target audience. He discusses the challenges he faces as he tries to connect the large financial institutions with the poor and underprivileged - the haves and have nots. He shares with us a few of the mindset shifts he's experienced, as well as book recommendations that have helped him enroll himself, as the necessary stakeholders required to make this project come to life. It's a fascinating and enjoyable conversation that, really and truly, involves almost every intersect of life. You don't know what you don't know. This is the Adulthood: Revisited Podcast.
