To the Kids from Abilene, Texas that I met today at Capitol Hill, Washington DC

It was really a pleasure to meet you all. You all had such good questions and gave me a lot of hope for the future.

I feel really great having met you.

I'd like to share with you a free book that you can download. It is the same book that started me off in my journey into economic studies and still helps me as a reporter.

To download it, click here.

Then I hope you go on to read my "7 Starter Blog Posts," follow me on Twitter, watch the movies I've posted or linked to in "7 Starter Blog Posts." Also, check out the column on the left "Books to Build Your Worldview."

Also, if you want to learn about economics much more in depth, and at a college level, absolutely for free, then check this link out.

Take your time with it. Don't become frustrated or discouraged. It's a lifetime-learning-kind-of-thing.

If you read something a million times but don't understand it, skip the passage, and then shoot me an e-mail detailing what you don't understand and include a question.

I will respond in a timely manner.

Both the "Books to Build Your Worldview" section of this blog and the "10 Books to Understand the Financial Crisis" section will be very fundamental in developing your understanding of the world.

Believe me, I'm young.

As I'm writing this, I'm only 24 and I'm still developing my view of the world, but those books have been very helpful in that regard.

And when you don't understand something, read it again or watch it again. Or shoot me an e-mail. After all, you have my card.

And for full disclosure, the materials on this site are in no way meant to be the end of your journey, or the only books you read but the opposite. They are your guide, an assistant in your journey through life.

I hope that whatever it is you all decide to do in life you will not only be good or great at it, but you excel at it.

Once again, it was a blessing to meet you.

P.S. As I've told you in person, I plan on starting my own business. Keep in touch for updates.
