Financial education isn’t a one-time talk. It’s a lifelong practice shaped by family, values, curiosity, and resilience.

In this episode, Joline Godfrey welcomes Kirby Rosplock, CEO and founder of Tamarind Learning, for a conversation about financial fluency across every age and stage. They explore why families need ongoing learning, how values and money conversations belong together, and why curiosity matters in a fast-changing financial environment. 

Kirby also shares how AI can support learning without replacing judgment, effort, and human connection.

Kirby discusses:

  • Why families need repeated financial learning instead of one-time education events
  • How curiosity, values, and moral judgment shape better financial conversations at home
  • Why schools and programs fall short when learning isn’t reinforced over time
  • How AI can support learning while still requiring human thought, judgment, and privacy care
  • Why children and adults build resilience when education includes effort and hard things
  • And more!
