After years providing investment advice to governments, insurance companies and some of the world's largest pension schemes, Will founded Blue Tree Savings. Blue Tree Savings is on a mission to help as many parents as possible teach their kids to be great with money. Using stories and visualizations, such as seeing money as seeds, Will and Blue Tree Savings have provided hundreds of parents with the resources needed to make sure their kids grow up financially healthy and wealthy. He is also the author of the children's book Grandpa's Fortune Fables: Fun stories to teach kids about money.

We discussed:

• The importance of teaching kids about money from an early age;

• Why schools can’t be the only place children learn about money;

• What children learn from their parents behaviour around money;

• How parents can help their kids learn about money, even if they’re not confident themselves;

• Age-appropriate money lessons from pre-school to late teens;

• The difference between being rich and being wealthy;

• Will’s three rules for building wealth;

• Will’s new story book full of puzzles and fun to teach kids about money, Grandpa’s Fortune Fables.
