This is great and would love to see the book as I think financial literacy for kids not exposed to it is one of the most important things that we need to be teaching kids these days.

Just understanding basics like compound interest and the time value of money is just not understood by so many and why so many are not prepared financially later in life. They are such simple concepts if shown in the real world, but opaque to many who are not exposed.

What a great story!! Hope it does well.

i funded the kickstarter! Excited to get mine for our girls

I think if you look on LinkedIn it can be pre-ordered via a link there.

Can pre-order the book from this link, per Julio Ayamel's LinkedIn:

Good for Julio! I’m sure it will be a success.

in that case, take my money! Thanks

Just placed my order. Says due to ship end of January. Excellent DNR article.

Wow...inspiring. Love it. Reminded me of my wife who did the same in reference to selling bags of chips at school..a kid entrepreneur.

Montpelier Collective could take advantage of this to support the young athlete further. Almost a perfect NIL that is used to benefit his book sales while also contributing to the community as a whole.

Yes! This is the perfect application of NIL. A student athlete publishes a book when he otherwise would have been banned from doing so simply because he was an athlete. Going to buy a copy of this book for my nephew. I know what my brother was like with money as a kid so Nephew will probably need all the financial literacy help he can get!

Received and read “The Things I Wish I Knew” yesterday. Congratulations Julio.

How was the book itself? You think it's something worth it for kids to read and learn from?

Good for him, that's awesome he put this out while others sit on their duff and expect an "NIL" handout because they scored a couple TDs or had some tackles.

It's over my 2 year old's head, but when he's ready for it I'll have it

I think it is well done and probably best suited for third grade through 5th? I’m going to ask my wife her thoughts since she has been teaching elementary school for 30 years.

I like the color, illustrations and the information/advice he shares.

I admire Julio for making it happen and putting himself out there.
