From his first job delivering newspapers to assorted "side
hustles" he had in high school and college, Lothar Konietzo learned
early on the value of saving money. I became aware of Lothar's work
as he was recently
recognized by VISA as an Innovative Educator. You will enjoy
hearing about the creative activities he has developed to engage
his students. These include using sneaker culture to teach
entrepreneurship and how he has adapted the stock market game to
teach the importance of long-term investing. Enjoy!

Notable Quotes:
- "I learned the value of putting money aside growing up with my mom... My dad was conservative with money and he always saved money for a rainy day. These are clichés but they are really important clichés".
