Reading this reminded me of Kevin's process with his writing. When Kevin first had the idea for his children's book, he started by giving himself one day to identify the top 10 business/finance topics he wanted to teach other kids, and create a character to teach them. Once

Kevin was a fan of Foundation for Economic Education and wanted to expand his writing into submitting articles to them. Our family is overwhelmed at seeing them now honor our son's memory with this. It's another step of seeing his legacy continue on. Thank you.

This Christmas is the first day of my (Kevin's dad) life that I woke up in a house I can function in from my wheelchair. A goal my son tried hard to achieve for me. We moved in to our new house last night. The house isn't finished, but it's livable. We still can't celebrate

Tomorrow marks 2 years since our boy published his autobiography, Don't Tell Me I Can't. Wish he was here to see it still selling daily, purely by word of mouth. As Andy Jassy said recently, "An embarrassing amount of how well you do has to do with attitude." That's why people keep

Our family is thankful to Foundation for Economic Education & Hannah Frankman Hood for honoring our son with this Fellowship. It's encouraging to see what these remarkable kids are doing, and know that Kevin continues to inspire others. fee.org/articles/the-b…

Fed up with movie proposals over the last 2 years that didn't even try to stay true to our son's story, we finally decided to approach this how Kevin would. I (Kevin's dad) did a 1 day crash course on writing screenplays, then spent Father's Day weekend writing the first draft.

These young ladies would love to hear from anyone interested in joining their efforts to make this film about our son. We've been really impressed by their drive to learn all the ins and outs they need to launch and run their own company.

A simple and worthwhile read. We're honored to see our son included in the examples. Kevin (aka Cole) did regularly ask himself these questions about every achievement he aimed for. The 10 traits listed are good thought experiments to reflect on. To some degree, high agency

3 years ago today Kevin came to you all to help name his newest bottle-baby goat. One of you suggested Chester. This is Chester now. He's still a runt, and like Kevin's other bottle baby, still gets excited around the tractor like he's expecting Kevin to come back. He plays,

We're confident a movie about our son will happen. The two teenage girls, Savannah Forgy and her classmate Soli, both original Cole Summers Fellows with Foundation for Economic Education and students at Socratic Experience, have been in a binge-learning phase on filmmaking, business, fundraising, and other

Like most new homeschoolers, we originally used grades in our home too. And, like most things, Kevin (aka Cole) completely upended our way of thinking about them. Savannah's comparison to monopoly money perfectly fit his view. Kevin realized very early that grades weren't a
