Client Success Story - Enlightenment Enterprises 👏

After more than 20 years helping students and adults navigate education and career pathways, Jada Hogg turned her passion for financial literacy into Enlightenment Enterprises, a business designed to help young adults better understand money through real-life experiences, not just lectures.

What started as research into student debt quickly revealed a bigger issue: many young adults were making major financial decisions without truly understanding how money works or how behavior impacts those choices. Jada saw the gap firsthand and built a solution focused on money psychology and experiential learning.

Since launching her LLC in 2023, Jada has built strong partnerships with organizations including the Southwest Indiana SBDC, Applied Research Institute (ARI), Old National Bank, gBeta, and the University of Southern Indiana. She has transformed her idea from a card game into an interactive financial simulation platform that helps students experience real-world financial decisions in real time.

Now, with a completed prototype and plans for a mobile app and expanded curriculum, Jada is creating a tool that could reshape financial literacy education for the next generation.
