About this episode

Grace is back on the iWealth Podcast—and this time she’s talking skateboarding, acting, overcoming fear, and even investing in cows!Brad and Grace talk about how adversity can become an asset. Whether it’s dropping into a skateboard ramp for the first time or walking onto a stage in front of an audience, Grace has discovered something important: confidence often comes from doing the scary thing over and over again.Then the conversation turns to money and compound interest. Grace shares a game where she started with $10,000 and tried to grow it to $1 million. Her investment of choice? Highland cows! As the cows multiplied, she got a pretty memorable lesson in how compounding works.Fear gets smaller with practice. Small investments can grow over time. And sometimes a sixth grader can teach us a thing or two about both.What’s something you were once afraid to do that became easier with practice?Hashtags#iWealth #iWealthPodcast #CompoundInterest #FinancialEducation #MoneyForKids #OvercomingFear #GrowthMindset #Adversity #Investing #MoneyWisdom
