In this Start Here episode, Canna walks through how grandparents can give their grandchildren a meaningful financial head start — not just with money, but with confidence, education, and long-term opportunity.

Money can buy many things — but not the ones that matter most.In this heartfelt episode, Financial Planner and author Canna Campbell shares the five non-financial investments that brought her the most joy, growth, and meaning in 2025.
