Inspired by her personal financial experiences, Air Force veteran Jasmine Paul founded her business—driven to get to the root of the financial literacy gap and provide solutions. Enter The Wealth Playground, a youth financial education company that offers children’s books and curricula Paul authored, along with virtual and in-person learning products. Paul works with nonprofits, school districts and other organizations to reach thousands of kids.
Then in 2024, Paul attended DAV Patriot Boot Camp, a three-day, in-person program that connects military- and veteran-connected founders with no-cost education, mentoring and community.
