Episode Title: 🇬🇧From Literacy to Agency to Power🇬🇧

Today we have a guest returning to Heads Talk: Louise, CEO of GoHenry and one of the leading pioneers in ensuring financial literacy is accessible to children.

I spotted her recent LinkedIn post on financial education entering the UK school curriculum and jumped at the chance to have her back on the show. It was a pleasure speaking with Louise again. Do check out her first episode #188 on Heads Talk for more on her journey and the foundations of her work.

Louise returns to Heads Talk at a pivotal moment. But this conversation goes far beyond curriculum change.

We explore a bigger shift: from teaching children about money, to equipping them with the agency and power to navigate, and especially question, financial systems in an AI-driven world.

From GoHenry’s evolving role to the global realities of financial behaviour, this episode challenges a simple assumption: is financial literacy enough anymore?

Topics Covered:
◽️ UK schools embedding financial education into the curriculum and what this signals
◽️ From literacy to agency to power: redefining financial capability
◽️ The evolving role of GoHenry alongside formal education
◽️ AI and decision-making: does financial literacy need to evolve?
◽️ Teaching children to manage money vs question financial systems
◽️ Designing education for an AI-driven future
◽️ Global perspectives: how attitudes to money differ across markets
◽️ Keeping pace with innovation: digital currencies and AI tools
◽️ Financial inclusion: reaching underserved families and shifting power
◽️ Collaboration between government, schools and industry
◽️ What will define financial empowerment for the next generation
