Millennials, money & marketing; this week’s show has them all. It also has entrepreneur Lisa Halpern, CEO of Kiboo Life, a social banking & financial literacy start-up. Kiboo’s Know Your Money™ platform builds community around money management with original content, a financial analytics engine, plus social features and functionality that engage young people to save spend and give their money smarter. Lisa will share key insights drawn from 6 years of research, as well as highlights from her recent appearance at London’s “The Future of Finance" conference. What is the relationship between Millennials/Gen Z and money? What drives their purchase decisions? How did the 2008 meltdown affect their financial behavior? How do they feel about borrowing & other financial products? What leads them to trust/distrust brands? Why do they prefer alternative financial products? What do banks and cards need to do to win them back? Will they continue to share their life-info on line?

We are all operating in a dynamic global marketplace, whether we reach across borders to find new customers and fresh ideas or face overseas competitors in our home market.
Global Reach embraces the opportunities and challenges we encounter when operating in multiple countries and cultures. We talk with entrepreneurs and executives about their strategies for winning in fast changing world markets: cross-cultural communication, global branding, media and marketing, transportation and manufacturing, the future of finance, alternative investment strategies, innovation and IP protection.
Global Reach interviews thought leaders about 21st century megatrends that impact international entities: trends like the business and politics of sustainability, the morphing nature of competitiveness, globalization, global companies vs national governments, worldview and growth prescriptions, emerging markets issues, and the corporate impact on society (governance, ethics and leadership).
