About our guest:
Maya Corbic, a CPA and dedicated mom, combines her vast experience as a CFO, auditor, and tax accountant with her personal journey from a first-generation immigrant from war-torn Bosnia to a successful financial literacy educator. Having arrived in a new country with her family at 15 with nothing but two suitcases and $50, living in government housing and juggling two part-time jobs in high school, Maya's early hardships instilled in her the importance of financial independence. She and her husband overcame $60,000 in debt early in their marriage, achieving debt freedom, including their mortgage, by the time she was 32. As the founder of the Wealthy Kids Investment Club and the popular Instagram account @teach.kids.money, Maya is passionate about simplifying investing and empowering families to grow their wealth. Drawing on nearly two decades of professional experience and her life lessons, she is committed to teaching financial literacy to kids and inspiring hundreds of thousands of parents to raise financially independent children, with the vision to educate every child to become a financially independent adult.
