Hey, Doug! I’ve really enjoyed reading the blog lately. I think you’ve found your niche! I was wondering – do you have the cirriculum you used to teach the kids? I was in JA as a kid – won an award – and now, as an adult, I really like the idea of volunteering with them – but, I don’t know exactly what I’d tell the kids. I understand capitalism and the economy, but how do I relate that to 5th graders? Could I borrow your lesson plan? Seriously! Send me an email to set it up – and I’ll give you the kudos.

Thanks for being so transparent! Glad you decided to stay in DFW!

Doug,
Great work buddy! Also a wonderful example for all of us who too often put all of our time and attention into building our bank accounts.

Hey, Doug!

I’m just glad that you did not go for the bananas, you got me on that one for a moment. I started to wonder what was it about bananas that beat Real Estate.

I am sure you inspired a lot of minds during the time you spent with those kids, you’ll be amazed at the impact if you get a chance to hear from one the kids whose life you’ve changed forever.

Keep doing what you’re doing

Great work Doug. I tried this at my 10 year old’s class but they kicked me out when I started telling them that school is not what you know but who you know.
