MindBlown Labs

MindBlown Labs MindBlown Labs has developed a cutting-edge, 21st-century financial education platform that empowers millennials with financial capability skills.

Thrive ‘n’ Shine is a highly-engaging mobile (and web-based) game that empowers teens and young adults with critical money management skills. Coupled with a flexible, experiential learning curriculum, it is the perfect tool to help students relate to, experience, and master important financial concepts. Unlike other financial education games, Thrive ‘n’ Shine allows players to make whatever decisi

ons they want and then see how their decisions impact their avatars’ lives. Players go to work to earn money, which they strategically spend and save throughout the course of the game, while dealing with life challenges ranging from securing a meal to paying for college. They also travel through three SIMS-esque towns and make thousands of financial and life decisions. By playing Thrive ‘n’ Shine, students get exposed to and interact with numerous critical financial concepts, including budgeting, saving, paying taxes, managing debt, pursuing higher education, etc. By growing skilled at Thrive ‘n’ Shine, players gain financial skills that have value in real-world scenarios.

In the 10-day virtual money camp, students get hands-on practice with fundamental money concepts, including:

Earning money

Paying bills

Expenses

Budgeting for emergencies

Buying and financing a car

and more!

The program is supported by a game-based learning curriculum created by MindBlown Labs, a financial innovation lab specializing in innovative financial wellness solutions. The lessons have all been modified for a remote learning context. Students meet with their peers and an experienced instructor live via Zoom daily to be introduced to new concepts and connect concepts in the game to the real world.

The program has been independently evaluated by the Filene Research Institute and the research has shown to have increased financial confidence and real life savings behaviors.

Entrepreneurs not only have the potential to make much more money. They also pay much less in taxes. Within reason, you can deduct things like travel, mileage, your cell phone, etc. Small business owners can also be eligible for a special 20% deduction call the QBI deduction. Finally, as an entrepreneur, you have the potential to contribute over $50,000 a year to your 401k as opposed to only 19,000 as a regular employee. That can also be huge tax savings.
