Brad speaks with Massachusetts Deputy Treasurer and Director of the Office of Economic Empowerment, Alayna Van Tassel.
Alayna discusses her path into state politics. She delves into the status of Bill H.578 An Act establishing a personal financial literacy curriculum in schools and introduces us to the possibility of Baby Bonds (an at-birth publicly funded trust fund program for Massachusetts residents). Alayna also reflects on her tenure at the Office of Economic Empowerment; their accomplishments, how they measure success, and what happens to the office when eventually there is an administration change.
Listen to the end when Alayna divulges three things people don’t know about her, including her favorite quote and her dog’s name.
