The Burst - BCBBC, Hurricanes & Kids (Ep. 35)
Thanks for checking out this episode of BanktasticTV’s “The Burst.” Here are some important notes about this episode:
BarCampBankBC
Brad wanted to touch on the awesomeness that was BarCampBankBC. Though we discussed it in this week’s episode of “The CU Scoop”, it’s well worth bringing to “The Burst!” There was a lot of great content coming out of this event. Check the videos posted by Brent Dixon over on OpenSourceCU and the live blogging from William Azaroff here.
Hurricanes and FIs
Brad asked recently if our members knew of any banks or credit unions that were directly affected by the recent gulf coast hurricanes. One of our Banktastic members was able to use Twitter via his phone to continually update everybody on the status of his bank. It was really interesting to see how despite power outages, we as a community are still able to communicate. If you have any stories to share from this past string of hurricanes, please feel free to do so on Banktastic.
Kids Cash Connection
We discuss in this episode a site that Brad came across called “Kids Cash Connection.” The site is dedicated to helping teach children about business and finances. We’re asking if you think that the children they’re targeting are even interested in learning about finances. I know that as a child, saving money or being “financially responsible” took a backseat to playing cops and robbers. We’d like you to check out their website and let us know if you think their efforts are going to hit home with the children they’re targeting. We’d love to hear from you all at Kids Cash Connection, so comment back if you have any feedback!
Partnership Symposium!
Just a friendly reminder that Mark and I will be at Partnership Symposium next week. We’re going to bring you some great behind-the-scenes footage along with interviews from attendees. Check out BanktasticTV next week to get in on the action!

A Big Thank You for promoting us on your show! We are so grateful for all the fantastic support we have received from people all over the world since we launched our website. Our company seeks to help kids achieve financial excellence and make their dreams com true. To answer a few questions raised during the show: our programs are designed to reach kids ages 8-18. Parents are always invited to attend for free any or all of the classes they enroll their kids in at Kids Cash Connection. One of the biggest questions we have had so far was also raised during this broadcast and that is: How do I get my child interested? We encourage anyone who asks this question to check out the Faith’s Awesome Products link on our website. Faith is one of our success stories here at Kids Cash. She has went from being a kid who money always “burned a hole in her pocket” to a saver, investor, and charitable giver. We invite anyone who has any questions or comments about our company and programs to please email us at kidscashconnection@gmail.com.
Thanks again for the wonderful job you have done promoting us on your show…We truly appreciate the support
