Braun Mincher, Executive Producer

Entrepreneur, Award-Winning Author & Documentary Filmmaker Braun Mincher is a ridiculously passionate advocate for Financial Literacy, who believes that it is shocking to let students graduate high school and college without knowing even the basics of personal finance. His ultimate goal is to get Financial Literacy classes made a high school graduation requirement nationwide, presently mandated by only 3 states. Financial Literacy directly affects every American – regardless of age, education or income level, and we need to use the current economic situation as a “wake-up call” for better financial education at all levels (K-12). Knowledge is power!

Author: The Secrets of Money: A Guide for Everyone on Practical Financial Literacy – An entertaining read of Braun’s entrepreneurial story which uses a conversational and engaging style to teach EVERYONE what they should learn in school or at home, but rarely do. It comes with a unique guarantee – send it back for a 100% refund if it does not pay for itself.

Executive Producer: Secrets of Money: The Documentary Movie – Scheduled to be released in mid-2009, this shocking feature-length film exposes the state of Financial Literacy (Illiteracy) in America and offers suggested solutions. The desire is that it educates and inspires like “An Inconvenient Truth” and the “Supersize Me” documentaries. We traveled the country – coast to coast – for 3 months and interviewed 100+ educators, students, parents, “real people,” government officials, celebrities and financial experts to get their perspective on the importance of financial literacy in the school system, and you will not believe what they said.
