I interview Luke Hohmann, CEO & Founder of First Root. Participatory Budgeting (PB) is a democratic process in which a group of students determines how to invest a shared budget to improve a school. PB authentically motivates students to learn and practice the “Four Cs” of the 21st Century curriculum: creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration — all while teaching design thinking, civics, and jump-starting their journey to increasing financial literacy. Students experience actual agency and stewardship over their futures, learning through their own experiences how money works. Participatory Budgeting creates several benefits for students, schools, and their communities: Gives students a chance to experience democracy in action by providing students with concrete evidence of the benefits of getting involved   Helps students engage in all aspects of design thinking as they create, refine, vote, and fund proposals   Strengthens the school community by creating alignment and positive interactions among all stakeholders: students, teachers, parents, and administrators   Creates self-confidence and civic pride as student-generated proposals are implemented   Develops financial literacy skills, including budgeting and financial planning   Luke is one of the world's leading experts on applying Participatory Budgeting at scale in communities and business settings. Before founding FirstRoot, Luke started Conteneo, an enterprise software platform based on game theory for collaborative decision-making. The author of four books, Luke has been cited as an inventor in more than a dozen patents and is an internationally recognized expert in Agile Software Development.     Feedback Leave an anonymous voicemail on SpeakPipe.com/FTapon Or go to Wanderlearn.com, click on this episode, and write a comment.

Luke Hohmann is a serial entrepreneur who's done and been through several phases of business in his career! Luke is the Founder and CEO of FirstRoot, a benefit corporation devoted to creating economic equality. His last company, Conteneo, was an enterprise collaboration software company that helped large enterprises administer more than $3B using Participatory Budgeting techniques. If you're looking for an internationally recognized entrepreneur in Agile Software Development, whose mission is to create financially literate children capable of transforming their communities as they become financially independent adults through creativity, communication, critical thinking, collaboration, and civics. Luke is definitely your man! Deal Techniques Entrepreneurs use different approaches in deal-making. These approaches pass through different processes, and they all have different outcomes. In this episode, we'll be talking about one of the techniques used by entrepreneurs, called Participatory Budgeting. This is an episode you don't want to miss! What Is Participatory Budgeting And How Does It Affect Deals?! Participatory budgeting is the process through which corporations and investors use collaborative techniques to establish budgets. In this process, the members of the group involved are the decision-makers. It helps create better motivation, boost morale, and create better work environments that end in job satisfaction. Processes Involved In Participatory Budgeting Participatory budgeting involves money and how it's spent. Like many other deal techniques, it has specific guidelines and processes that needs to be followed to enjoy sufficient success. Investors are mandated to provide and guide the members through the processes. They are also expected to provide a curriculum on personal finance and civics. It doesn't matter if you're starting or already have a multimillion business; everyone has a budget. The budget is never enough because human imagination is unbounded and human resources are limited. Learning how to navigate those choices is the most central activity. The following are the five Ds involved! Discovery Phase This is the first phase. The members involved go out and talk to other people to identify the problem. Results must be compiled and recorded. Dreaming Phase This particular phase is for the members involved. It's a phase for them to DREAM! Investors ask them questions like, “what would you do if you had this money?” Design Phase Members are taught how to develop their ideas into actual proposals. It involves teaching them design techniques and answering questions of feasibility, viability, cost, approval, etc. Decision Phase This is the phase where the members decide - they vote on what to do with the available resources, and when the vote is concluded, they DO! The members actually see their ideas put into action using The Five Ds! Are You An Entrepreneur Or An Aspiring Entrepreneur? Understand These Facts Before Jumping On That Deal! If you're trying to sell, hiring an external firm or investment banker doesn't guarantee sale. You should negotiate deals in comfortable settings and conditions. Understand the transaction can be structured so that the total amount to be paid is available to enable both parties to succeed, but that doesn't necessarily mean the money is changing hands in the deal process. Be clear on where you are and what you're bringing to the table. Don't skimp on your legal team- make sure your contracts are well intact. Get a good lawyer - someone you trust and has experience in corporate law. Don't be difficult to work with.

Today you get to meet Luke Hohmann - one of the most energetic, thoughtful people I know on the planet. We first met and also worked together during my days in the software industry as an Agile coach. I also had the privilege to help facilitate one of his Budget Games for the city of San Jose - citizens engaged in prioritizing the multi-million dollar city budget by playing a game to spend limited funds on a range of budgetary options. He's now the Founder and CEO of FirstRoot, Inc., a Benefit Corporation devoted to creating greater economic equality. That's a very complex problem, and Luke recognizes that it can't be solved individually - we have to work together to come up with ideas and solutions, and then work together to make them happen. FirstRoot's approach is to give youth financial literacy in a unique, fun way, through something called Participatory Budgeting. His audacious goal: student groups in 1M schools globally to each budget $1k and watch what happens when youth control $1B in capital. And by the time this episode launches, Luke and his team will have a version of Participatory Budgeting for families so together they can work out plans for money decisions like vacations and charitable giving. Today we're going to explore how your family and school can tap into the power of Participatory Budgeting to build financial literacy skills and get youth involved in solving problems that matter.

Have you heard of Participatory Budgeting? It is a global movement, endorsed by the UN, in which communities decide how to invest real money. I've been producing PB events around the world, in both the public and private sector, for more than a decade. At my last company, Conteneo, I invented Weave, the software platform businesses use for PB. My clients made over $3 billion in investment decisions using Weave before I sold the company two years ago. I've now founded FirstRoot, a startup devoted to teaching financial literacy and civics through Participatory Budgeting in schools. Our BHAG is to get $1K into 1M schools globally and watch what happens when kids are in control of $1B. We are offering a family version of our app for free so that parents can work directly with kids doing such things as planning a vacation, choosing charitable donations, or planning a home remodeling project. #RickJordan #Podcast #Trust

In this episode, Hall welcomes Luke Hohmann, CEO & Founder of FirstRoot. Headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, FirstRoot teaches financial literacy and budgeting - through a process known as Participatory Budgeting - and civics, as kids decide how to invest real money in their school.  Participatory Budgeting (PB) is a democratic process in which a group of students determines how to invest a shared budget to improve a school. PB authentically motivates students to learn and practice the “Four Cs” of the 21st Century curriculum: creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration — all while teaching design thinking, civics and jump-starting their journey to increasing financial literacy. Students experience true agency and stewardship over their futures, learning through their own experiences how money really works. A serial entrepreneur, Luke's last company, Conteneo, was an enterprise software company that helped global companies manage investment portfolios using Participatory Budgeting. Luke is now leveraging the experience he gained working with some of the world's largest companies to help prepare our children for their future by bringing Participatory Budgeting into schools to teach financial literacy, civics, and design thinking. The author of four books, Luke has been cited as an inventor in more than a dozen patents and is an internationally recognized expert in Agile Software Development. Luke discusses what led him to start working in the personal finance and personal literacy space, some of the challenges he has faced, and the evolution of the industry.

#029 Although Silicon Valley in California has a lot of tech companies, a study by Chamberlain University ranks California an "F" in teaching kids about financial literacy. Luke encourages his children to read books about financial literacy and also applies his business knowledge at home.  He also created a company, "Conteneo" that helped enterprises manage their investment portfolios which ultimately helped in participatory budgeting to create better budgeting decisions. This was used in schools involving a process where kids were given money on the condition that they had to manage it themselves. They were guided through a 5-step process including a "theme"; how to spend the money, "ideation"; creation of rough proposals for how to spend the money, "refinement"; creation of details behind the proposals, "Voting"; an opportunity to ensure most students are involved, and lastly "implementation" of the ideas from students. This process gives the opportunity to teach important concepts in financial literacy. The app is free for families.

"Calm down, take a deep breath and just talk to me“   Luke Hohmann's new mission: Participatory Budgeting in Schools Luke Hohmann founded FirstRoot to advance participatory budgeting in schools. Let me get straight to the point: You can invest in this company in this early stage. You can also support the cause by talking about or by simply using the free software and talking about it in your kids' school.  Luke Hohmann and me go back a long time. I met him ca. 12 years ago in one of his trainings and was fortunate enough to co-train and facilitate with him. He wrote an early book „Beyond Software Architecture“ which to me is one of the best books on software Architecture (sic!) and was ahead of its time. He then got deep into Serious Games with his Innovation Games trainings and a great book on it. Also ahead of its time. From there he was on a constant path towards which had to end in what he does now. Through his Innovation Games, he made it to participatory budgeting in communities, in the Enterprise and other important places. Also, he built an enterprise SaaS company to further bring his ideas deeper into Companies and also enable distributed Serious Games. Now, he founded FirstRoot, bringing participatory budgeting to schools. (You will realize over the course of the pod, that we couldn't constrain ourselves - we wouldn't be Luke and Markus, then - from drawing all kinds of parallels to Quality of Software, agile, Portfolio Planning, Architecture, Comics for Story Mapping and what have you.) The underlying problem that Luke is tackling with FirstRoot is inequality of chances by social background, financial illiteracy (lack of education on that topic in school in general) and economic disparity. First Root is having its part in solving that problem by offering a five step process in facilitating Participatory Budgeting to pupils around the globe, based on a software solution. Steps are: Planning Gather Ideas Refine Ideas to proposals Voting (there will always be more ideas than we can afford - „a truism in life“ Projects in implematation In the pod Luke thoroughly leads us through an example to show us how it works and which impact it has. I put the core of the idea at the beginning of the cast. Again: If you believe in this story, you can also invest for as little as a couple of hundred dollars alongside of people like Alex Osterwalder, Lysa Adkins and many more. You also help by just using the software and bring it into schools. Just follow the „Invest“ link on firstroot.co
