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.

Business Owners on a Mission: Teaching Kids Money Skills Early
Pam and Crystal join me to reflect on their experience volunteering with the Let’s Play Money program at the Boys & Girls Club, where they worked with 5th graders to teach essential money skills.
In this episode, we talk about why business owners choose to invest in the next generation, the impact of teaching financial literacy before high school, and share personal stories about our own children.
You’ll discover practical insights for parents, teachers, and entrepreneurs who want to raise financially confident kids—and learn how early financial education, real-world learning, and volunteer efforts can make a lasting difference in young lives.
