Mr. Brian
Your Cash For Cubs guide.
By day, Mr. Brian teaches high school business classes. In every Cash For Cubs video, he brings that same warmth — connecting with kids as a friendly guide and walking them through money, one story at a time.
He's on camera in all 15 levels, standing alongside Teddy, Goldie, Franklin, Chase, and Penny as they work through everything from exploring what money is to understanding how to achieve financial freedom. His opening line is the same in every episode:
“Hey there financial explorers! I'm Mr. Brian, your Cash For Cubs guide.”
The story behind the bears
Mr. Brian is a husband and a dad before anything else. He's married to Ashley — a teacher herself — and together they're raising two boys, Greyson and Chase, who have heard more about gross pay, compound growth, and the 50/20/30 rule at the dinner table than most kids ever will.
Before he was grading papers, he was managing portfolios. Six years in the corporate world included a stretch as a financial advisor at Merrill Lynch, sitting across the table from adults trying to catch up on money lessons nobody taught them when they were kids. Eventually he traded that for a classroom — and today, as a high school business teacher, his favorite class to teach is Financial Literacy, for exactly what Cash For Cubs' mission is: helping families raise a generation of financially confident kids.
Cash For Cubs is what happens when you put all of that in one place — the financial advisor who watched too many adults learn these lessons too late, the teacher who knows how to make a hard topic click, and the dad who wants his own boys, and every kid who watches, to grow up fluent in money instead of afraid of it.
“Come on, let's talk about money!”
The line that started the whole series — and still the best summary of what Cash For Cubs is trying to do.
