Financial Literacy with Braun Mincher

Braun Mincher is a young man on a mission. He believes that financial literacy classes should be a graduation requirement for all high schools. Braun has written a book, The Secrets of Money: A Guide for Everyone on Practical Financial Literacy, which many are calling “the encyclopedia of personal finance” that every parent should buy for their students, if not for themselves.

Braun is one of those individuals we affectionately call a serial entrepreneur. Starting his first company at 16 years old with a vending business, and selling it at age 17 for $5,000 was just the beginning. At age 18 he started a bus transportation company (in Colorado) and continued investing in a variety of businesses that enabled him to retire as a multi-millionaire by the ripe old age of 30.
