When Pigs Fly (Secret Millionaires Club)
From Secret Millionaires Club · 2013
Summary
In this Secret Millionaires Club episode, an ambitious business idea only gets off the ground once the club plans the resources, steps, and responsibilities it takes to pull it off — turning 'that'll happen when pigs fly' into a real project. 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.
