“I’ll pretend I am [Federal Reserve Chair] Jerome Powell [or] pretend it’s a different stock,” Scanlon told CNBC.ETF Edge” this week. “That really engages people because they’re like, ‘Oh, that’s funny. I can look at it and laugh… It really humanizes finance and brings people in a way they wouldn’t normally expect.”

Its content focuses on helping young people understand how various economic topics affect them.

“When we talk about the Federal Reserve, it’s often very abstract. For example, they’re raising interest rates, but what does that actually mean?” Scanlon said. “People want to know how things directly affect them.”
