How Are Gen Z and Others Navigating Financial Decisions?
/
With the upcoming Financial Literacy Month in April and the current economy conversations weighing on the current and future workforce, it’s a crucial time to support individuals on their journey to financial literacy. Outspoken speakers and award-winning documentary filmmakers Chris Temple and Zach Ingrasci (known for the film Living on a Dollar) are going on a college campus tour this spring and throughout 2024-2025 in an effort to create a meaningful financial educational experience for students that will help them better understand their own personal relationship to money and feel more knowledgeable and empowered as investors (56% of Gen Zs invest after all).
As students graduate and learn to navigate complex financial decisions that include saving for retirement and managing debt, providing financial education and support programs is crucial in this ever-evolving modern world. With financial stress seemingly always on the rise, it's crucial to provide students and employees alike with coaching and insights to ensure they do not make the wrong decisions for their financial wellbeing—this includes crypto and financial apps/online investing. Whether you’re on a college campus or hoping to up your internal support for your organization’s employees, programming like this will benefit all. Chris and Zach will also be booking speaking opportunities at organizations hoping to share this content with employees.
In addition to a screening of their award-winning documentary (which premiered at Tribeca Film Festival), THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE, Chris and Zach will speak and answer questions on a range of financial topics including: risks of following the crowd, investing based on FOMO, identifying credible financial resources/how to vet sources you’re getting info from, investment fraud and the role of social media in investor fraud, investing vs speculation vs gambling, and how to know when an investment is right for you.
Keynote Topic:
THIS IS NOT FINANCIAL ADVICE: CRYPTO, FOMO & WHEN TO SAY NO
Money is vitally important to our day to day lives, yet only 22% of high school graduates have ever taken a personal finance class. And 79% of young people are turning to TikTok and YouTube as their primary source of information. These statistics become even scarier in today’s financial markets that seem to defy logic—whether that’s Meme Stocks, cryptocurrencies or Elon Musk. Chris & Zach have interviewed hundreds of investors from all walks of life, including some of the world's leading financial experts. They’ve packaged their learnings into a powerful keynote presentation that incorporates evocative and cinematic stories from the film. This talk will be the most entertaining conversation about money that you’ve ever seen, providing a breath of fresh air. Everyone is guaranteed to walk away with practical tools for their own personal relationship with money and a deeper understanding of the systemic and cultural factors driving behavior in today’s financial markets.
