FERVENT FOUR

Episode #272: From $40 to Financial Freedom: Danijel Velicki’s Mission with Sqwire

In this episode of the Fervent Four, we sit down with Danijel Velicki, CEO of Sqwire, to explore his incredible journey from arriving in the U.S. with just $40 to becoming a leading voice in financial literacy and entrepreneurship.

Sqwire is redefining financial education through a self-paced online platform that empowers individuals, families, students, employees, and military communities to build lifelong financial confidence.

With recent partnerships in higher education and a growing presence in workplace and community wellness, Danijel shares how his team is making financial literacy accessible, actionable, and life-changing.

We also discuss his recent recognition from Oxford’s Saïd Business School and NC Wesleyan University, and what’s next in his mission to empower others.
