Lessons from Building iGrad: What Two Decades of Helping People Manage Money Has Taught Us (Audio)

What started as a mission to help college students make smarter financial decisions grew into a movement that’s impacted millions.

In the very first episode of Get Enriched, host Hassan Thomas sits down with iGrad founder Rob LaBreche to explore the evolution of financial wellness over the past 17 years. Together, they discuss why iGrad was created, how financial challenges have changed over time, what organizations are learning about supporting financial well-being, and why the future of financial wellness has never been more promising.

Whether you’re a student, employee, employer, or simply passionate about financial wellness, this conversation offers valuable perspective on where we’ve been and where we’re headed.

• Financial wellness extends far beyond graduation. Financial challenges evolve throughout life, making ongoing education and support more important than ever.
• The most effective financial wellness programs focus on people, not just information. Organizations create greater impact when they provide relevant, engaging, and continuous support.
• The future of financial wellness is about building confidence. As awareness continues to grow, there’s an opportunity to help more people make informed financial decisions and achieve healthier financial lives.
