In this episode of Conversations with Michael Barnett, Michael sits down with Marcell King, President & COO of Incent, a youth digital banking platform revolutionizing how kids and families build financial literacy from an early age.
💡 Marcell shares his powerful personal story—from navigating financial missteps in college to leading a mission-driven fintech helping the next generation make smarter money decisions. Discover how Incent empowers parents and children to have real-world conversations about budgeting, saving, spending, and credit—starting as early as age 8.

• The importance of early financial education
• How real-life moments (like buying a fish 🐠) become lasting money lessons
• Why banks and credit unions need to adopt youth banking now
• How Incent differs from Greenlight, GoHenry, and other fintech players
• Measuring behavioral change—not just participation—in financial literacy
