Hi everyone,

 

For those of you looking for some Thursday afternoon inspiration on reaching
students on money topics, I just finished "A Comedic Guide to Money", by
Colin Ryan.  Many of you will remember Colin (www.colinryanspeaks.com
<http://www.colinryanspeaks.com> ), who keynoted the HEFW Summit in 2018 in
Minneapolis. When his book came out this summer, I picked up a copy to see
how it might apply to what we are trying to do here at the University of
Virginia.

Just the other night, as my wife and I were reading one of the scenes in the
book, we were laughing so hard we couldn't talk.  It had been a long time
since I had laughed like that at a piece of writing, probably since reading
a David Sedaris book or a Dave Barry column. We thought: "Pretty cool that
we are laughing this hard while reading a book about money!"

Along with being very funny, Colin's book has been really helpful for me in
framing how I can better communicate with the people I serve. He talks
throughout about the limiting financial stories we tell ourselves, how to
help people figure out how to choose a new financial story to tell about
themselves, and he gives tons of financial advice so students (and adults)
can improve their financial lives.

I wanted to share my experience of the book with this group because I know
how much we all want to put our often complex or jargon-laden financial
information into language and a context students will understand and engage
with. This book has inspired and shaped my thinking.
