(Listen to audio version of me reading👆)
I told one of my good friends today that I knew I was called to teach about history and freedom from a young age.
It was in my blood from the very beginning. Fighting with teachers, professors, and arguing with adults all through school.
What seemed like such common sense seemed so elusive to the rest of society, or so I thought.
I try to use first principles when investing and God’s word in my daily life.
My love of learning history and freedom has evolved to include the financial and investing world.
Money is just a tool that gives you freedom of choice.
It is neither good or bad.
It just is.
Like a hammer, gun, knife, or a car….money is an inanimate object and the person using that tool is the one that can either create great harm or can put it to great use to move life forward.
One of my biggest mentors Robert Kiyosaki has written many times about his fathers which he is famous for; Rich Dad Poor Dad.
He recalls statements both fathers would routinely make:
Rich dad would say “I MUST be successful because I have you kids.”
Poor dad would say, “I am NOT successful because I have you kids.”
Wow, what an intense shiver that puts through your body.
Rich dad had very little to no formal education but became at massive entrepreneur and investor.
Poor dad was a teacher and superintendent of his school district.
One was a victim. One was a leader.
We need more leaders.
In my study and my experience I realized that most children weren’t being taught by parents or school, first principles.
We are not taught why America is great and the founding principles that allowed us to create the lives we all live today.
We have spoken ad nauseam about the ills of our society and what is wrong with it.
I do my best to speak about what solutions I believe give us hope as humans and will continue to maintain those freedoms.
Much of it starts with our home life and how we were raised or are raising our children now.
We live in a world taught to hate the very essence of who we are.
Could that be why we see so much division and chaos every where?
We know who the chaos agent is. He wants us at each others throats because that is how he creates hate and destroys humans.
Where have we come from and where are we going?
What world will our children and grandchildren inherit?
Again, it is up to us to stand and speak out.
Time to tell evil, ill will, and naiveté to sit down.
If this resonates with you and you would like to teach your children or grandchildren sound money or freedom principles I will have a more in depth write-ups eventually.
For now, read the email below from the Tuttle Twins who are an incredible company and my kids have many of their toddlers books and other recourses for kids of all ages.
Time to take back the education of our children.
I think you may just find some things you might not have known yourself!
Stay strong,
Brandon

This powerful book solves a critical problem that other history books for kids all have.
Other books…
❌ Focus on superficial facts, such as dates and names of places and battles
❌ Gloss over the Founding Fathers' ideas that revolutionized America and the world
❌ Don't help young readers understand why what happened 250 years ago is relevant to our world today
In stark contrast to these boring history books, our America's History stories…
✅ Help young readers understand history more deeply by immersing them in the stories around the events
✅ Teach the inspiring ideas of America's founding and how those ideas are relevant to their lives today
✅ Challenge your children to learn from the past and apply those ideas to our world
✅ Are filled with examples about how the lessons of history are relevant to us today
✅ Are enjoyable to read as a family and turn history into an engaging story for kids of all agesThis is a book your family is absolutely going to love. Length-wise it's about 11 of our children's books all in one! And the book targets the same age range: kids age 5-11… though these stories are so impactful that your older kids will be reading along, too!
On that page, you'll be able to see sample pages from inside the book such as this:
Our team has spent two years working on this book and we are so excited with how it turned out! We've done some test reading with a bunch of families and the response has been amazing.
For example, here's what one mom said:
I was given an advance copy of this book to test with my kids, and HOLY MOLY it's amazing! This is what I've been looking for — a history book that is honest, focused on true principles, and taught in a way that my kids can apply to their lives. I'M A FAN! (Sorry for the caps but it's TRUE!)
We think this book is going to be a BIG hit — and why? Because parents like you are so fed up with how history is being hijacked by crazy Critical Race Theory advocates and Marxist "1619 Project" promoters who want to throw away the principles our country was built upon.
I think this is an intentional effort to undermine the "classical liberal" views of the founding fathers — life, liberty, and property rights — and it all begins with how young people are taught about history.
That's why our team is so focused on teaching true history through inspiring stories.
We hope you'll take advantage of this huge launch bundle to get a variety of important history content for your family.
