The Future of Teaching in the Classroom - Founder of Gibbly, Mallory Maynard
This is a special mini-series of the More Money Podcast sponsored by Visa Canada to highlight the latest winners of the Visa She’s Next Grant Program.For this episode of the series, I’m speaking with Mallory Maynard, founder of Gibbly, a Canadian company dedicated to helping teachers fight burnout and reclaim their time so they can be more effective educators. Though not a teacher herself, Mallory’s first company, which built mobile games to inspire girls in STEM, gave her firsthand insight into the challenges teachers face every day. Due to the advent of generative AI, she saw a huge opportunity to streamline tasks by creating an AI-powered teaching assistant to help teachers create curriculum-aligned lesson plans, presentations, and quizzes in a fraction of the time. Although Gibbly has since grown to over 50,000 users, Mallory also shares the sometimes difficult realities of being an entrepreneur and shares advice to others looking to start their own company.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/437Learn moreLearn more about GibblyLearn more about Visa's grant programFollow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.

What Your Identity Says About Your Money - Ellyce Fulmore, Author of Keeping Finance Personal and Owner of Queerd Co.
Money can be a simple thing, but it can also be complex when you take into account one important factor — people. Financial content creator and new author is on the podcast today to discuss her new book, , as well how we all need to adopt a more shame-free and trauma-aware approach to money. You see, there's a reason managing money and building wealth comes easy to some and not others. For Ellyce, she realized that her identity as a queer woman with ADHD played a much larger role in her finances than she initially realized. So just think, what does your identity say about your money? Does it mean you face certain barriers that others don't? Does it mean it takes you longer to learn? Does it mean you'll struggle more with things like sticking to a budget or overcoming your anxiety with investing compared to others? The answer is a resounding YES! Personal finance is personal as they say, but often I think that important fact is still overlooked or ignored by many.For full episode show notes visit jessicamoorhouse.com/385Follow meInstagram @jessicaimoorhouseThreads @jessicaimoorhouseTikTok @jessicaimoorhouseFacebook @jessicaimoorhouseYouTube @jessicamoorhouseLinkedIn - Jessica MoorhouseFinancial resourcesMy websiteMy bestselling book Everything but MoneyFree resource libraryBudget spreadsheetWealth Building Blueprint for Canadians course Hosted on Acast.
