Written by Tony Steuer | Oct 12, 2025 1:02:51 PM

 On this episode of The Get Ready Money Podcast, I spoke with Mohsen Siddiqui, co-founder of GenMo, about how we can better equip the next generation with the tools, mindset, and confidence to navigate their financial future.

We explored the power of early money conversations, the role of families and institutions, and why financial literacy must be inclusive and culturally responsive, especially in communities where access is limited.

๐Ÿ’ก Key Takeaways:

๐Ÿ”น Start early: learning about money as a teen lays the foundation for lifelong success.

๐Ÿ”น No amount of money matters if you donโ€™t know how to manage it

๐Ÿ”น When money conversations happen at home, everyone benefits

๐Ÿ”น In countries with low financial inclusion levels, you need to focus on the larger picture.

๐Ÿ”น Make money conversations a routine event.

๐Ÿ”น Financial institutions must step up, unbiased, accessible education should be part of their mission
