Jr. Moguls
In this episode of Jr. Moguls, host April Taylor speaks with Houston author Candace Okin, who transformed the impending financial crisis into opportunity for young entrepreneurs worldwide. After losing her job to budget cuts, Candace channeled her struggles into writing "Mason Makes Money," a children's book teaching entrepreneurship and financial literacy when her son was just one year old. The book targets kids ages 7-13 and covers essential business concepts like money management, budgeting, and the mindset of "being your own boss." What started as a personal teaching tool has evolved into the Mason Makes Money Fund, a nonprofit organization that awards $500 grants to young business owners three times yearly. The program operates internationally, accepting applications from kids globally who own and operate their own businesses. Candace also runs free entrepreneurship workshops in libraries and community spaces, teaching everything from marketing to customer service. She shares practical advice for parents on supporting their children's business ideas and explains why entrepreneurship skills matter in today's changing economy, regardless of career path.
