Money and Finance Made Easy: Money can be a mystery. What is it? How does it work? How do I earn it? How do I save it? How do I invest it? Whether we like it or not, money affects us all and is essential to our lives in the twenty-first century. In this course, Travis Callaway will make money and the financial decisions we all encounter simple to understand, using practical examples and real-life scenarios to help students prepare for their own financial futures. The course will include six lessons, each focusing on a separate piece of the overall financial puzzle:

1. What Is Money and How Does It Work?
2. Banking Basics
3. Budgeting and Spending Wisely
4. Credit, Debt, and Credit Cards
5. Saving and Investing for the Future
6. Real-World Financial Decisions

Travis earned an MBA in finance at Durham University and the Chartered Financial Analyst designation. He has worked as a private equity analyst, a portfolio management senior analyst, a director of private equity, a managing director of venture capital, the vice-president of finance for a technology start-up, and as a part-time chief financial officer for several companies. He is an active investor in start-up companies, the co-founder of a finance advisory business, and teaches business and finance at both the University of Calgary and Mount Royal University.

Most of the world’s wealthiest people are not members of royal families, Hollywood celebrities, or heirs to vast fortunes. They are almost exclusively entrepreneurs—people who started their own businesses. And anyone can start a business.

But how? Even the idea can feel overwhelming. In this course, Travis Callaway makes starting a business simple to understand, using practical examples and real-life scenarios drawn from teaching entrepreneurship and business planning at universities. Students will learn how to plan and prepare to launch their own business.
