AOA 059: Patience on Your Money-Smart Journey - Featuring Kelly Mindell

<p>How do you patiently leverage an allowance system to communicate family values to a young child?</p> <p>As my sister, Kelly Mindell, is learning on her family's money-smart journey, the key is patience. Lots and lots of patience! The tables are turned during this special episode of <em>The Art of Allowance</em> Podcast, as Kelly peppers me with questions regarding her own program. But so this installment doesn't turn into a family reunion (or, more likely, digress to the level of a lively Lanza board game night), my former guest and fellow money-smart movement co-conspirator Robin Taub joins in as co-host.</p> <p>Kelly is the founder and visionary behind Studio DIY, a colorful lifestyle brand that inspires over 700K followers throughout the social media landscape with DIY projects, bold home decor ideas and memorable holiday celebrations. Her projects have been featured in <em>HGTV Magazine</em>, <em>Real Simple</em> and <em>Domino</em> as well as on NBC's <em>Parks & Recreation</em>, Miley Cyrus's Milk tour, NPR, BuzzFeed and <em>The Today Show</em>. Kelly lives in Los Angeles with her husband, Jeff, and son, Arlo.</p> <p>Robin is a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA, CA), keynote speaker and bestselling author. Her latest award-winning book, <em>The Wisest Investment: Teaching Your Kids to Be Responsible, Independent and Money-Smart for Life</em>, gives parents the information, strategies and inspiration they need to teach their kids about money. She holds a Bachelor of Commerce (with High Distinction) from the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto. Robin puts her money where her mouth is and has two (mostly) money-smart young adults, a son and a daughter.</p>
