DALLAS, TX (PRWEB) March 13, 2012
In a Feb. 25 TV interview Cahill and Shama Kabani discussed GenYs financial skills. (http://www.the33tv.com/videogallery/68381782/News/02/25/12-on-your-way#pl-64047371) Kabani is a leading voice on social media and technology trends, who hosts Socially Sound with Shama on CW33-TV, serving the Dallas-Fort Worth market.
Every day, I'm asked for my recommendations on the best tech products out there, says the TV commentator, who has won numerous accolades and awards in the tech and business industries.
The program focused on the online education of less-than-financially savvy young adults by On Your Way, a company that is doing well by doing good, Kabani said.
Kabani (in photo), who has been labeled Dallas Digital Dynamo, travels the world talking about social and technology trends. Only 26 years old, the University of Texas graduate is CEO of The Marketing Zen Group of Dallas and author of The Zen of Social Media Marketing, an area in which many credit unions are eager to gain traction.
Unfortunately, GenY also has become known as Gen Debt, Cahill told the TV host. Step into a financial hole when you are young, and its hard to get out.
Asked by Kabani to distinguish credit unions from banks, Cahill responded: They have distinct advantages. Credit Unions are a cooperative, not for profit, so rates are better, and theyre focused on customer service and relationships.
On Your Way partnered in January with MoneyU of Rockville, MD, an award-winning financial game, to help improve the financial skills and well-being of credit unions GenY members.
Credit unions can now cost-effectively offer the online, game-based MoneyU course to their GenY members and member-prospects in a variety of packages available through On Your Way.
