As we face these new obstacles, today’s inspiring Finding Brave guest is continuing to help women leaders innovate and grow their businesses and not only survive, but thrive.

To virtually celebrate and acknowledge Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day on April 23rd, Carey Shuffman, Head, Women's Strategic Client Segment and Sarah Salomon, Senior Strategist, Family Advisory & Philanthropy Services, discuss teaching children about finances in a newly launched Own Your Worth series podcast. With a majority of children in the US at home right now given the evolving coronavirus pandemic, this podcast covers ways to engage with children on key financial lessons and the virtual resources UBS has available on the topic.

Mike is joined by a special guest to talk about how Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day began.

When this occasion was first developed as a tool to address gender injustices in places of work, we called the project Take Our Daughters To Work Day. The idea was that while girls and women were in business settings together, man and boys were elsewhere learning about being an ally to women and girls. Unfortunately, that powerful advocacy message got lost and the effort has become more symbolic of a vocational training and experience effort. I believe that the #MeToo and other forces for equality show why we need to return to our original intentions. You can see more about my thoughts on my website https://AllanShoreCollection.wordpress.com under the experience section.

For this year's "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day" (April 26), I'm joined by my 11-year-old daughter, Fiona, for a trip to Grecian Kitchen (3938 Dempster Street in Skokie). My 16-year-old son, Noah, opted out of this year's podcast, which left Fiona "disappointed." Discussed on this week's show, sponsored by BOOST MOBILE: Noah's opting out of participating The benefits of being a middle schooler 6th grade volleyball vs. 6th grade basketball An upcoming school  trip to the White Pines dude ranch Our Bernese Mountain Dog, Shazam A recent trip to Trader Joe's, and how Fiona's prediction came true How would Fiona describe me, honest and unfiltered?  Apparently, "dad jokes" aren't as funny to non-dads What kind of music does Fiona listen to? The answers made me feel super old and out of touch Fiona's rocking the saxophone Fiona's current relationship with older brother Noah ("Do you need to hug more?") What's Fiona's earliest memory? Fiona plugs Shazam's Instagram account, which includes many pictures she's taken of the family dog The joy of Froyo What Noah and Chris Kattan from SNL have in common

This week sees the return of the annual "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work" Day, and Car Con Carne is a proud participant! For this special edition, I took my daughter and son to the Grayslake location of Dog'n Suds, the well-known drive-in chain. Over footlong hot dogs and root beer, we talk about pressing concerns like: Nap habits Favorite snacks and meals Favorite subjects in school "Snack" hot dogs The "ceremonial" aspect of serving vegetables for dinner The children's general interest in becoming broadcasters (spoiler warning: OUCH.) Warning: There's a dangerously high concentration of adorbs-ness in this show. Proceed with caution.

Fascinated by the combination of computers, images, and fun, Bushnell went on to invent his first computerized video game, “Computer Space,” in 1970.
