Summary

In this Secret Millionaires Club episode, facing a rival, the club learns that competition means finding what makes your business different and better — offering something customers can't get next door. 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.
