    Season 4, Episode 4: Your Money, Your Defense: Outsmarting Financial Threats

    You may not consider your finances a likely vulnerability when pondering everyday threats. Whether perpetuated intentionally or unintentionally, insider threats can manifest in the form of personal financial mismanagement or significant emotional events, such as death, divorce, job loss, or illness. Outsider threats also compromise your financial security, such as predatory lenders, identity thieves, scammers, and even family members! To mitigate these risks, Olivia provides you with the safeguards necessary to remove or counter the impact of potential financial threats, equipping you with the knowledge and resources necessary to create a healthier relationship with money.

    Financial Literacy Training: Meeting Financial Developmental Milestones Olivia and the Army Headquarters Deputy Chief of Staff, G-9’s Financial Education Program Manager, Robyn Mroszczyk, discuss what’s in it for leaders to promote financial literacy and address financial developmental milestones. We take our children in for well-child checkups to ensure physical developmental milestones are met. But what professional will see you or your loved ones to ensure financial milestones are met? Who’s teaching us how to develop our financial muscle to move towards financial independence? (Although the DoD has military-specific milestones, Olivia has outlined Civilian-equivalent milestones below to consider as you or your loved ones are financially developing.)
