    Live From Boston: Preparing Rural Students With Practical Personal Finance Skills (Episode 28)

    Welcome to #CreditChat Live From Boston, a special limited series within the #CreditChat Live podcast featuring conversations with educators and advocates from the Jump$tart National Educator Conference — dedicated to exploring the future of financial literacy in America's classrooms. This episode features Sahvanna Mease, a Family and Consumer Sciences teacher at Calhoun High School in Calhoun, Colorado, recorded live in Boston, Massachusetts at the 16th annual National Educator Conference (NEC). An 11-year classroom veteran and Jump$tart ambassador, Sahvanna has dedicated her career to bringing life skills and personal finance education to a small rural community — and making it stick. Christina and Rod sit down with Sahvanna to hear how she fought to bring Family and Consumer Sciences to a district that didn't have it, how she teaches credit and financial decision-making through the lens of small-town agriculture, and why applied, hands-on learning is the only way to prepare students for real financial life. She shares the story of a student who hit her savings goal in a single month — and then raised the bar for herself. Sahvanna closes with a powerful reminder that a healthy relationship with money isn't just about budgeting — it's about breaking cycles, protecting your future relationships, and refusing to let finances become a dark cloud over your life. #CreditChat Live is a podcast series hosted by Experian, featuring expert insights on a variety of financial topics, from credit scores to debt management.

    Live From Boston: Teaching Money Skills That Follow Students for Life (Episode 27)

    Welcome to #CreditChat Live From Boston, a special limited series within the #CreditChat Live podcast featuring conversations with educators and advocates from the Jump$tart National Educator Conference — dedicated to exploring the future of financial literacy in America's classrooms. This episode features Kerri Herrild, a personal finance teacher at De Pere High School in De Pere, Wisconsin, recorded live in Boston, Massachusetts at the 16th annual National Educator Conference (NEC). A 20-year classroom veteran and Jump$tart ambassador, Kerri has dedicated her career to making personal finance education accessible, relatable, and real for every student who walks through her door. Christina and Rod sit down with Kerri to hear how she went from being the only personal finance teacher in her district to helping pass Wisconsin's statewide financial literacy mandate in 2023. She shares her signature classroom strategies — from showing students her own pay stub to sending home co-created newsletters that bring money conversations into the home — and makes the case for why teacher professional development is the missing piece in America's growing financial literacy movement. Kerri closes with an honest and inspiring message for every educator who wonders whether their daily work truly matters. Spoiler: it does. #CreditChat Live is a podcast series hosted by Experian, featuring expert insights on a variety of financial topics, from credit scores to debt management.
