Curious about crypto, investing, and the future of money? Don’t miss this special screening of the award-winning feature documentary "This Is Not Financial Advice" —a film that pulls back the curtain on financial hype, risk-taking, and how social media is shaping a new generation of investors.
From Optimist, the LA-based studio behind documentaries on Netflix, HBO, and National Geographic, the film has been sparking conversations across the country about financial literacy, identity, and the power of media.
The screening will be followed by an interactive Q&A with Zach Ingrasci, the film’s director; Doug Ommen, Iowa Insurance Commissioner; Jacob Yunger, director of financial innovation at the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority; and Jim Laursen, CFP, Foster Group.
Please note: The documentary portion of this event will not be recorded.
