Early Life & Background

Max Miles was born in Jamaica and spent his early years between Jamaica and the Cayman Islands before moving to Toronto, Canada, with his family at age 18. A talented athlete, Max was actively involved in tournament chess, under-21 soccer, and squash through his early twenties.

Professional Journey

His fascination with technology blossomed during his first year at university when he accepted a Junior Programmer Analyst position at IBM. After three years, he discovered his passion for entrepreneurship and co-founded a 3D animation start-up, successfully raising $500,000 through venture capital financing.

Later, Max transitioned into talent acquisition consulting, specializing in global recruiting for U.S. and Canadian firms. Outside of writing, his work splits in two: building AI agents and AI recruiting automation, and trading options and futures independently.

Motivation for Financial Education

Driven by the lack of explicit financial education during his upbringing, despite his parents' financial savvy, Max is committed to imparting financial literacy to children. He believes that simple strategies like budgeting and saving can set kids on the path to financial independence.

In his book, "Financial Literacy for Kids, Simplified!", Max breaks down complex financial concepts, offering parents effective tools to teach their children about saving, investing, and budgeting in an enjoyable and relatable manner.

Writing Philosophy

Max's writing combines practical advice, engaging narratives, and interactive elements to inspire kids on their journey to financial independence. He is passionate about making financial literacy accessible and entertaining for families, believing that every child can achieve a secure and prosperous future with the right education and support.

"Financial literacy is one of the most important life skills we can teach our children. By starting early, we set them up for a lifetime of financial success." - Max Miles

Personal Life

Now living in Kansas City, Missouri, Max treasures quality time with his young son, enjoys playing online chess, relishes traveling, and indulges in his passion for golf.

"I believe that teaching children about money management from an early age is not just about future financial success. It is about empowering them to make confident, informed decisions throughout their lives."
