BOLD Conversations

The BOLD Conversations is a series of interviews with thought-provoking individuals in various creative careers. 

Many of us bring our children up telling them things like, “Do something else; you won’t make money doing that.” “This field is where the money is; become a _____ and you will make more money.” With these words, we restrict them and often they are coerced into thinking that these things that may make them the most money were really their calling, when in reality, it sets them up to be miserable, and worst of all, they don’t get the chance to explore any other options. With proper guidance and the exposure to alternatives, youth can decide for themselves. Having celebrities, and high-profile individuals who are positive influences speak to our youth, a difference can be made and it may even change their lives. If they are not exposed to information or even certain life experiences, how will they know their options? How will they maximize their potential? And how will they become a Noble, Driven and Successful individual in this world, and not be another statistic? This is why we call it the BOLD experience; it goes beyond the four walls of the classroom. It’s mentors like those of BOLD MYNDS that will lead and inspire youth to challenge themselves to take that extra step and walk into their destiny, boldly owning every part of their dignity.
Financial Literacy: Money MYNDfulness

BOLD  MYNDS presents the Financial Literacy: Money MYNDfulness Series. These sessions are part of our unconventional and progressive approach to helping establish economic empowerment, entrepreneurship, and generational wealth in our local communities. Financial Literacy is an integral component of BOLD MYNDS’ mission of empowering today’s young people and their concept of money and wealth. As we expose them to non-traditional career paths and opportunities, we weave together important financial themes encompassing, but not limited to, building healthy financial habits, SMART money goal setting, character building, and much more. We aim to develop a broad spectrum of foundational money MYNDfulness instilling common “cents” that cover topics from financial vocabulary/terms to understanding structural economic systems. In these sessions, we bring family and finances together to dispel myths, stereotypes, and build a wholesome perception surrounding earning, spending, and giving money in the lives of our local communities today.
