Travel and financial literacy & autism. Conversation with David Delisle

My friend David Delisle is here to share his journey of promoting financial literacy through engaging and educational mediums, like his graphic novel, 'The Golden Quest.' David discusses his approach to making financial education engaging for both children and parents by focusing on money mindfulness and values. We also delve into David's recent trip to India with his sons, and how the challenging experience has strengthened their family bond and taught them resilience.It's a conversation that covers two grounds: financial literacy, and travel - two topics that have always interested me. But in particular, I want to encourage autism and neurodiverse families that you can pursue these things too.We share our parenting experiences, particularly in the context of raising neurodiverse children, and the impact of travel on building resilience and empathy. Coming from Canada, we get into cultural perspectives and contrasts, whether it's healthcare, religion or social issues.David agrees that we need to emphasize the importance of curiosity, empathy, and open-mindedness in understanding different viewpoints and fostering a kinder, more inclusive world.And, he also teases his upcoming projects, including a card deck, and a board game aimed at further promoting financial literacy in a fun and thoughtful manner.Further links and research related to this episode:The Awesome Stuff (www.theawesomestuff.com)Instagram (@theawesomestuff)TikTok (@theawesomestuff)YouTube (@theawesomestuff)Facebook (@OnlyBuyTheAwesomeStuff)David's Awesome Stuff playlist on SpotifyContact Tabitha:[email protected]
