Hello there, Waylon.
Hi, Darian.
And listeners, dear.
I have a story.
One you should hear.
Ooh, I am intrigued.
Darian, you're rhyming.
You're rhyming Today.
Today's show for the Indicator are financial fables for kids.
Progenitor.
Are we talking about kids books about money?
That was kind of a tortured rhyme, but you know what?
I respect it.
You must be thinking, who could it be?
She was a member of the FDIC, to be quite specific, the 19th chair.
Her name, the singular, Sheila Baer.
Sheila Baer, yes.
The towering figure who was working to keep the financial system running during the great financial crisis around 2008.
And what I learned is that this whole time actually had this side quest, which is writing kids books to help them avoid scammers and predatory lenders.
