NGPF had the honor of collaborating with Marketplace, the leading U.S. business news program, to produce their first ever video podcast show for teens -  Financially Inclined.  We're thrilled to announce that the team behind this teen-friendly money show is gearing up for Seasons 3 and 4!

Building on the success of the previous seasons, these upcoming episodes will offer more insightful conversations, inspiring guests, and valuable lessons to enrich your classroom experience.

Season 1 covered topics like how to budget, buying your first car, credit card tips for beginners, and what to know about the stock market. Then, in season 2, we tackled paying for college, what to know about cryptocurrency, early career tips and tax basics!
