Finding the Funny in Financial Literacy | Catie Hogan | TEDxNorthAdams

How do you make learning about fiscal wellbeing fun? Catie Hogan shares how she has turned her love of humor and financial responsibility into an enormous opportunity for a new generation of financial literacy.
Catie Hogan is the Founder and President of Hogan Financial Planning. She’s a personal finance expert, educator, and comedy writer. Catie is on a mission to empower women and marginalized communities through financial literacy education. She uses a unique approach, combining both humor and relatability to teach personal finance and career building skills.

Catie harnesses the power of media to bring financial literacy to her target demographic. Her blog, The Funny Financial Planner, is featured on AOL’s Finance Collective. She also regularly contributes to the feminist website The Scold, and hosts a podcast called Get It Together with Catie Hogan. Her debut book, The Millennial’s Guide to Getting Your Sh*t Together is a collection of humorous essays on money management, career advice, and healthy relationships.

When she’s not speaking or advocating for financial literacy, she’s also a writer and performer with Sketchworks Comedy in Atlanta. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
