S03E04 Enterprising Mindsets: Michaela Wright

Michaela Wright, Head of Corporate Sustainability at HSBC UK, explains to Sharon how her mother positively influenced her early relationship with money by managing the household budget and being creative with meals to reduce their food waste. She also describes how she witnessed the consequences of not managing money, the consequences this led to, and its lasting impact.   During their conversation, Michaela and Sharon discuss why buying sustainably doesn’t necessarily mean spending more, they consider the decisions young people are making around more sustainable choices that are influencing older generations, and illustrate how bringing learning to life by creating teachable moments helps parents teach children financial independence during their formative early years.
