Oh, and he fetches.
Why
Limited school offerings and misleading social media have led to a decline in understanding decision-making trade-offs. Covid shutdowns only made it worse for both students and professionals. The study of people and the choices we make is called economics. Economics helps explain unexpected outcomes and can lead to better decision making, but it needs to be more accessible.
As a former youth leadership board chair, I’ve seen critical thinking decline, especially post-COVID. Economics can help rebuild these skills.
UNRAVELING TWISTS covers topics in simple language—no math needed! Visuals like clipart and animations make it easy to understand. Understanding these ideas shouldn’t require years of education (and it doesn’t need to).
Our discussions are evidence-based, focusing on data, logic, and human nature, not politics. The goal is to learn from each other and explore how reality often differs from the narratives we hear - sometimes by a wide margin.
