Junior Achievement of Memphis and the Mid-South’s World Ready Radio examines how early inspiration and real-life learning experiences about entrepreneurship, work readiness and financial literacy actively shape one’s education, career and life journey. Listeners hear firsthand conversations about how childhood experiences, talents, role models, dreams and experiential learning opportunities come together to help make an individual world ready. In addition, the guests may have a few challenging questions of their own for our hosts.
Season 3 will be our “JA Letters to Myself: Hometown Heroes” series, where local leaders in our region’s top industries and organizations read letters that they wrote to their younger selves about the journey they’ve taken to get to where they are today.
New episodes begin March 24, 2026.
