In this podcast conversation, Richard Milroy discusses financial education and its importance with Kendall Flutey, the founder of Banqer, a financial education platform aimed at teaching kids about money. The goal of Banqer is to equip the next generation with the skills and knowledge they need to make informed financial decisions. They believe in starting early with financial education to build positive behaviors and patterns. Banqer provides software for schools, both primary and secondary, in New Zealand and Australia. Their platform creates a gamified and experiential environment for students to learn about money management, budgeting, investing, and other financial skills. They focus on improving financial literacy, building financial capability, and boosting financial confidence among students. By preparing young people for their financial future, Banqer aims to bridge the gap in financial knowledge and empower them to make better financial decisions as adults. Kendall Flutey, the founder of Banqer, shares her background and insights about financial education. She discusses the challenges of navigating financial conversations and behaviors, particularly among marginalized communities, women, and indigenous populations. The conversation touches on the psychology of money, societal expectations, and the impact of colonization on financial knowledge. Kendall also emphasizes the importance of discussing money openly, teaching children about financial concepts, and encouraging them to develop healthy financial habits from an early age. The discussion concludes with Richard expressing his interest in bringing Kendall to speak at a conference and acknowledging the significance of Banqer's mission in preparing the next generation for their financial future.

You probably already know how critical financial literacy is, but do you know why it isn't part of every school curriculum? This episode is all about that, and trust me, you need to hear it. Kendall Flutey, CEO and co-founder of financial literacy platform Banqer, joins me to help make sense of it all. The digital age has made money less tangible, and this changes the way our children perceive it. Kendall shares her experiences and visions about how we can shape our children's understanding of money for a cashless future. We also look at how parents can play a vital role in this. And this weeks guest 'Duncan' is a real character.

Today, we're talking about how private enterprises are working together to ensure the next generation has a deep, default, and durable attitude towards building wealth long term.Let me ask you a question here though: In the absence of a default financial education program reaching your kids, would you be happy for them to receive guidance from sources in the business community? Would you trust a bank in delivering some education to your kids, a financial adviser, and insurance company, a KiwiSaver provider or other fund manager? Of course, we'd potentially prefer a source where there was no other incentives at play – BUT, I think having the 'right' incentive structures alone, isn't enough to create good outcomes. I'm a believer that even in situations where the incentive structures behind some initiatives are skewed towards growing a private enterprise, or even just virtue signalling, good outcomes will still be created. That has to be a good thing right? The purest of motivation is not a replacement for a lack of action. I can think of a few great examples recently where the government is reluctant, or even incapable, of allowing private initiatives to fill gaps they clearly have. This is evident at the moment in areas of housing, alternative forms of money, and mental health especially. Either they accept they need a strong [gum]boot up the rear-end, or they step aside with some degree of humility and the let the experts have a go. Yes we do need Government, but the community can indeed solve some problems thank you very much!In the area of financial education, I'm super encouraged to see the likes of the FMA, and the Commission for Financial Capability, really starting to infuse themselves in the market place. Still, there's a place for for more participants who work in the finance space to organise themselves in a way that solves the problem also.To learn more about how Banqer and Partners Life is working together, check out https://high.banqer.co/partners-life____________________________________________________________The NZ Everyday Investor is brought to you in partnership with Hatch.

She has been widely recognised for her efforts, winning the 2018 Young Māori Business Leader and 2019 Young New Zealander of the Year. "I think there's a bit of misconception around tech. People often think that you have to be the math or science geek and be really switched on in terms of numbers. But to me, tech's really just more creative. I like the possibilities of what you can build, how you can improve lives, how you can solve problems all through tech and you can do it in a pretty cost-effective, quick way."

This is a short reflection on the power of "no" to free us up to say "yes" to what really matters. It is transcribed in full below and here: https://theseeds.nz/say-no-to-say-yes/ You are walking along with a dog in a field and a rabbit springs out of nowhere – the dog immediately chases after it. The dog is fast and is about to catch it when a second rabbit jumps up. The dog stops chasing the first rabbit to run after the second. As a result it doesn’t catch either. This is Steven Moe – welcome to Seeds Podcast. How we use our days The story I told at the start is based on a Chinese proverb which says, “The man who chases two rabbits catches none”. This episode is as much a form of self talk as anything – you see, sometimes I feel like I am that dog in the story and I confess to being distracted by chasing too many rabbits, otherwise known as opportunities. Each of us have 24 hours today, tomorrow, the next day. Until we don’t have any days left. What do we want to do with that time? What do we say “yes” to, and what do we say “no” to. You see by saying “yes” to one thing – and chasing it like a rabbit – you are also saying “no” to something else. So what is the bigger ‘Yes’ Too often I am given opportunities – attending an event, a dinner, taking up a position. My natural reaction is to say “yes” but I actually think the wisdom is to learn when it is the right thing to say “no”. What I mean is that every time we say “yes” to some new commitment or event of some kind we are in effect saying “no” to something else, because our time is valuable and how we use it matters. Sometimes it is important to say “no” to one thing so that you can say “yes” to something that is even more strategic or important. If we know what the bigger “yes” is, then saying “no” can make sense. As an example, if you know that your family is the bigger “yes” then that will justify saying “no” to an opportunity that would take you away from them. For example, I’m on a board of directors which meets in Auckland – dinner was planned for after a day long meeting – it would have been easy to say “Yes” to that opportunity – and there would have been real benefits in doing so too. But being home overnight was more important – the bigger “Yes” – so, I said “No”. Of course, I find it easiest to say yes to requests. I like to say ‘yes’ if I can help someone. It’s a delicate line. But the reality is that people will ask you to focus on their top priority, not on your top priority. And that’s when you end up running after too many rabbits. By saying "no" to one thing, you are able to say "yes" to that bigger picture. This principle is an echo of something else that is worth highlighting: focusing on the urgent instead of the important. How often does an email or a message come in that distracts you from doing something that is really important – inviting you to say "yes" to that distraction. The urgent – particularly in our instant age – often takes precedence over the truly important. You can’t be everything Kendall Flutey from Banqerhad some great advice at the Impact Summitrecently which is part of a 5 hour episode on seeds. It kind of sparked my own thinking on this topic. What she said was this: "You can be anything you want - you are poised perfectly right now to achieve absolutely anything. But I don’t believe we can be everything. You can’t be everything at once. So I just want to be something, and do that really well." For Seeds Podcastthere is now a great community and I put out the question to get input from some of you on the Linked In page, Facebook page and Twitter and got a few responses: Leigh Kennedy wrote the following: “What an interesting subject. Certainly not an earth shattering example, but I said no to several teaching opportunities when I was transitioning into my business. Turning down the familiar / known and its guaranteed income was pretty scary at the time. I was working with a client this week who had just gone through a similar experience. Quite empowering to recognise the 'no thanks' moments and realise how committed you are to the new direction.” Zoë Hector (whose a former guest) with the start-up Talk Town, noted: Yup - very easy to get caught up in the ‘hype’ of being a startup… and forget to actually start up… Banqer are some of my role models for focusing on their mission. So, how do we say no? Steve Jobs once said the following and you can see where it would apply to really becoming great at what you do: “People think focus means saying yes to the thing you’ve got to focus on. But that’s not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I’m actually as proud of the things we haven’t done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying ‘no’ to 1,000 things.” It's one thing to decide you will say ‘no’ but how do you do so with grace and in a way that does not hurt another person? Probably practice will help, but "I can't take that on right now", is one gracious way to acknowledge the honour of being asked but admit that it cannot fit in. Who is asking? Of course, the request may not come from someone else. It might come from yourself. The key question is, does what you think needs to be done actually need to be done? Peter Drucker put this really well: “There is surely nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency what should not be done at all.” Some final thoughts So to round this out, a few things to think about: • Focus on what you want to achieve and don’t try to do everything. • Give yourself permission to say no to things that will drain you. • Look to say yes to the activities and people who will fill your cup. • Realise that in saying no you are looking to answer yes to something even bigger and more important. Say ‘no’ to feel empowered, and say ‘yes’ to what is really important. Don’t try to chase down every opportunity that may present itself. Instead, let’s let some of those rabbits get away.
Our seventh episode features 2019 Young New Zealander of the Year, Kendall Flutey.Kendall is the co-founder and CEO of Banqer, which is an interactive financial education platform which helps teach young students about concepts such as debt, saving, taxation, investment and insurance.However her journey has not been as straight forward as you would imagine.

She walked away from her career and everything she had studied for. Kendall is passionate, intelligent and honest. Please enjoy this remarkable young entrepreneur and her story of discovery.
Co-founder of the EdTech start-up Banqer, kiwi Kendall Flutey always had the entrepreneurial spark. At 7, she created a 20-cent newsletter subscription for kids at school and sold toys from a stall in her front yard.
