What do you say to kids about money that "sticks?" My father was fond of saying, “you can have anything you want if you are willing to learn and work hard to get it.” Fifty years later those words still sprint through my mind. It was a genius financial psychology. --- It connected education and earning. --- It placed responsibility on you to drive your own outcome. --- It was a motivation, academic, and personal finance strategy intended to inspire you to take action and do more of what you need to do, in order to get more of what you want. From DAY ONE in 2001, our Objective at www.SammyRabbit.com, was to make it easy for anyone to teach and talk to kids about money --- young kids ... in ways that empower them to build better and brighter lives for themselves and others. We invite you to join --- together --- let's accelerate and grow impact!!! Here's to a Sammyriffic day!

Happy Women's History Month! March is a time to honor the incredible contributions women have made throughout American history. From pioneers in politics, science, and the arts to the unsung heroes who shaped our communities, their influence is unmatched. This month, organizations like the Library of Congress, the National Archives, the Smithsonian Institution, and many more come together to celebrate and encourage the study of women's vital role in shaping our nation. Women’s History Month began as a national celebration in 1981, and its legacy continues to inspire and empower future generations of women. Let’s take a moment to reflect, recognize, and appreciate the women who have paved the way for progress.

"For most professional workers, leaving school for the workforce marks the beginning of their practical education, not the end." Powerful insight, but i'd modify it and say this is true for all people no matter what kind of job or career they pursue. The quote is from Ethan Mollick's book, Co-Intelligence. It's not surprising that a book on LLM models written by a university professor is going to have some interesting insights applicable to #highereducation. Who hasn't experienced at the start of their working life, even in part time jobs in high school, what Mollick calls "the hidden system of apprenticeship?" So why don't colleges accelerate that practical education into their formal education in the undergraduate years? Some do and that's what we call "internships." But it's pretty hit and miss compared to what I experienced in my first six months as a young lawyer. That experience was far less structured than my college or law school classes, but the learning was meaningful and fast & furious. If we accelerate practical learning experiences for every student in every discipline, we can show that a liberal education coupled with intentional strategies for work-based learning is the most powerful human development pathway available to young adults. #highereducation
