How To Use AI To Teach Kids About Wealth with William Cross

On this episode of Butternomics, our host, Brandon Butler, talks with entrepreneur and financial educator William Cross about how to teach the next generation what most of us had to learn late. William, founder of Wealthi AI, grew up in Tampa without ever hearing about 529s, trusts, or estate planning, then built a company to close that exact gap for kids. He opens up about going from a long Word document to a book that sold over 5,000 copies, turning that book into a 10-hour curriculum, and building Wealthi AI into what he calls the Duolingo for financial literacy. He also gets honest about what it really costs to build an app, why $500 won’t get it done, and why vibe coding gets non-technical founders in trouble. If you want to put real money skills in a kid’s hands, this conversation is the blueprint.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
