About this episode

Fred Miller is a university professor and author of Earlier Than You Think: How Money, Time, and Simple Decisions Shape Your Future, a student-friendly personal finance book born from his two decades of teaching wellness courses. Drawing from his own experience of never having taken a personal finance course in high school, Fred explores how early financial knowledge—or its absence—quietly shapes our futures in ways we often don't recognize until much later.
