The School of Hard Knocks is a media company dedicated to promoting financial literacy through content that’s as entertaining as it is educational. Inspired by the phrase “I learned from the school of hard knocks,” we know the value — and the cost — of life’s toughest lessons.

Our mission? To help you avoid those hard knocks by sharing real-world advice from a wide range of voices and perspectives. Whether it’s money management, career moves, or life planning, we bring you the tools and stories to learn smarter — not harder.
