Caden Harris is now one of the youngest to graduate from high school at the age of 13. Harris, who is currently a successful author, speaker, and entrepreneur, intends to reach a wider audience by teaching around 500,000 kids about comprehensive financial literacy.

According to Black News, the teen gained recognition after purchasing a school bus and transforming it into a mobile financial literacy bus, a vibrant and dynamic classroom on wheels that brings financial education directly to schools and communities, with the assistance of his father.

Since then, the CEO and founder of Caden Teaches has had a significant impact on many children. Now that he has a high school certificate, the young entrepreneur plans to travel across the country, visit schools, and mentor the next generation of aspiring entrepreneurs and financial leaders.

Caden hopes to teach essential financial information and leadership qualities to young minds through interesting workshops, interactive sessions, and his magnetic presence.

Harris discovered his interest in entrepreneurship at the age of five. According to ASBN, he gathered some knowledge in the field after accompanying his father on business trips. His endeavors to understand some of the concepts prompted him to come up with creative ways to help kids his age understand the terms as well.

This ushered in Caden’s first product, Financial Flashcards, which simplified words like debt and loans for children’s understanding.  He went on to write the books “I’m Not Going To Argue With You”, “Budgeting Puzzle”, “Caden’s Rich Kid Guide”, and many more.

According to their website, the teen has already worked with a variety of businesses, including Georgia Power, American Intercontinental University, Dreamers Academy, The Salvation Army, Cummins, and others.

He also stated that his ambition before the age of 20 is to own a multifamily unit where he can provide low-cost housing for families.
