Welcome to The Money JAR, a podcast for youth leaders about money, careers and innovation. Co-hosts Mindy Lockard and Rishika Vinnakota pair their unique perspectives with a mild dose of humor as they attempt to demystify the common challenges that Gen Z and all families face while trying to learn about the economics of life. The Money JAR serves as a resource for young people who are curious about steps they can take to plan for their future success. Invest in your future!

The Money JAR is produced in a 22 to 25-minute talk-format, with episodes distributed bi-weekly. Previous co-hosts on the show were Todd Yuzuriha and Evan Wilson. The show was created in 2012 and reached a milestone 100 episodes in 2017.
