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?
