SMILE PLEASE !! In today’s world, we often find ourselves rushing from one task to the next, our minds preoccupied with the demands of daily life. We are constantly connected, constantly engaged, and constantly on the move. Yet, in the midst of all this activity, something essential is slipping away—the simple act of smiling, the ability to find joy in the little moments that make life beautiful. "Smile – Rediscovering Happiness" is a book about taking a step back. It’s about pausing in the middle of our busy lives to notice the small things that bring us joy—a child’s laughter, the warmth of the sun on our face, the sound of leaves rustling in the wind. These moments are all around us, but too often, we let them pass by unnoticed. This book follows the journey of Riya, a woman who, like many of us, has become caught up in the race to achieve, to succeed, and to keep up with the fast pace of life. Through her story, we explore what it means to truly live, to find happiness in the present moment, and to rediscover the simple joy of a smile.

Fun chatting with Kent Richeson about Crew. Would love to hear your thoughts about how to teach kids about investing. Some of my quick thoughts: - As an adult you probably only want to invest money that you aren't planning to need in the short term. For a kid that generally would mean they have nothing to invest, but you still want to teach them the principles. - The most important principles are probably around passive investment, taking a long term view, avoiding daily checkins on fluctuation on price, and continuously setting aside money. - Want to know how to identify and avoid get rich quick/ponzi schemes schemes with impossibly high returns. - But! You also want to figure out a way to adapt to a child's attention span or time horizon. For instance you may need to manufacturer amazing/unrealistic returns for your very young child to teach them to delay gratification. "If you set keep $10 in your savings for a month I'll give you another $10". As always, the best way to teach is probably to model good behavior for them to emulate.
