Summary
In this Secret Millionaires Club episode, the club stretches their shop into too many things at once and learns that focusing on what a business does best — and what actually earns a profit — beats trying to do everything. A ~22-minute animated story that makes a financial-literacy idea easy to drop into a social studies or economics lesson — with investor Warren Buffett as the kids' mentor.
