“So glad you could spend time with my entrepreneurship students. They all raved about your presentation and really enjoyed learning about all of the products and services you have created to help others. We all appreciated your insights into business, marketing, and being an entrepreneur!”
Judi Eyles, Pappajohn Center for Entrepreneurship
“Joanne Kuster presented the program, A Millionaire’s Mind – Learning to Invest, at the Johnston Public Library during Money Smart Week last April. It was just the right combination of information and hands-on activities to introduce how the stock market works, and how to “grow” your money – a valuable lesson for anyone. I would not only recommend her program for kids wanting to understand the world of investing, but also for adults who are just getting started.“
Kinney Carnahan, Youth Services Librarian, Johnston Public Library
“…I am so glad I went into Ms. Seymour's presentation. It really got me excited about creating this (stock market) unit, and it fired me up about teaching my own children to invest. I have tried through the years to teach them the importance of earning their own money, but like my husband has always stated, 'one will never get rich by working hard.' Now I know how you do get rich! Invest!! Wisely invest, that is. Again, thank you!
Tami F., Teacher & conference attendee
“It (Show Me the Money presentation) was a great session containing valuable information for new students. As you know, Destination…(like orientation) is not a mandatory program for our students. We were very pleased with the attendance this year, as it was clearly up from last year. In fact, we had a team that had not attended when they were scheduled to attend on Friday. They heard the session was worthwhile and wondered if they could attend on Saturday!”
Liz, University Administrator, incoming freshmen programs
“A very long time ago, my mother-in-law found your book (What Now, Kerbie?). She took it home for my husband and it fast became a family favorite. My father-in-law, Charlie, loved it most. Kerbie has long been a cherished family memory...”
