Lead Creator
I am passionate about financial literacy and well being. I have created this website to share—with my generation and those that come after—what I have learned and continue to learn from the unique perspectives of great financial thinkers. I am disappointed by the lack of basic financial knowledge taught in schools (at any level).
When my business partner Buzz Stetler invited me to create Zeneration Wealth, he acknowledged some potential in my ability as a young entrepreneur. I hope Zeneration Wealth can become a source for financial enlightenment and empowerment for my peers who look ahead to unclear and formidable futures.
​
Zeneration Wealth, like life, is about more than money. It's about well being. It's about the principles and practices that acknowledge and celebrate inner worth over external validation.
My money mantras
-
Before I spend, I always ask: "Will this enrich me?" (Using the broadest possible sense of the word enrich)
-
"Want-less" – both an injunction to myself and a prayer. It kind of comes from Buddhism's Four Noble Truths
-
It's not about how much money you get but rather how you treat the money you have
My favorite resources
Rich Dad, Poor Dad
Robert Kiyosaki & Sharon Lechter
Assets vs. liabilities. Assets put money in your pocket. Liabilities take money out. I am so grateful I read this book in high school. It truly changed the trajectory of my life and began my fascination with discovering the keys to financial health and well being.
Outwitting the Devil
Napoleon Hill
I believe in each of us there is an 'inner self' who speaks our purpose. We have a choice to abide by that voice and trust its divine authority or live in fear. Napoleon hill literally puts the Devil on trial, and compels him to confess how he leads men and women astray. Whether you believe in the devil or not, the metaphor is potent.
