Let's Play Money
Let’s Play Money is the podcast that helps parents and grandparents raise money-smart kids through play, storytelling, and simple coaching conversations.
Hosted by certified coach and children’s author Mara Williams, each 20–30 minute episode blends creativity with practicality — turning everyday moments into powerful money lessons for kids. From a farmers market business to bake sales to pet-sitting, Mara’s playful, story-based approach makes financial literacy fun, easy to understand, and engaging for the whole family.
Each episode begins with a guest sharing their first money memory, explores a topic from Mara’s Financial Literacy Triangle (play, literacy, coaching), and wraps up with a lightning round inspired by her book series, The Little Books of Big Business.
Because money lessons don’t need to be boring — they just need to begin.

Entrepreneurship & Homeschooling: One Dad’s Path to Teaching Money Skills
Welcome back to Let’s Play Money — the podcast that helps parents and grandparents raise money-smart kids through play, storytelling, and simple coaching conversations.
I’m your host, Mara Williams — author, coach, and believer that financial literacy starts early and sticks best when it’s fun.
Today, I’m joined by my friend and fellow entrepreneur Jason Erwin — a local business owner and homeschool dad of three girls. We’re talking about how he’s bringing money conversations into everyday life, why he chose to teach financial literacy at home, and what’s working (and what’s surprised him) along the way.
If you’ve ever wondered how to make money lessons part of your family’s rhythm — without making it feel like a lecture — this one’s for you.
Because raising money-smart kids doesn’t require perfection — just intention and a little creativity.
