Today, I started reading When You Wonder, You’re Learning: Mister Rogers’ Enduring Lessons for Raising Creative, Curious, Caring Kids by Gregg Behr & Ryan Rydzewski. I stumbled upon it while browsing the “New” section at my local library. Even though I’ve only made it through the foreword and introduction, every page has left me nodding in agreement, reflecting on how these lessons apply to teaching money literacy to the next generation.
One story stood out—Google's Project Oxygen. Their goal was to figure out what makes a great manager. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t technical skills like coding, which actually ranked last. Instead, what mattered most were human skills—clear communication, collaboration, and, above all, being an accessible leader who genuinely cares about their team.
This lesson translates to more than just managing people at Google. It’s a powerful reminder that for kids—and really, for anyone—to thrive, they need more than facts and figures. Tomorrow's leaders will be the ones who listen, ask thoughtful questions, and nurture empathy and teamwork.
Now, think about this in the context of Bitcoin and money literacy education. The best teachers won’t necessarily be the tech experts or the ones with all the historical knowledge. They’ll be the ones who show they care, who inspire curiosity without making others feel judged or overwhelmed.
When I started Super Kay Adventures, it was with the belief that kindness and curiosity form the foundation for understanding bigger concepts like freedom and self-responsibility—values central to Bitcoin. It’s not just about what you know; it’s about how you connect with others.
Until people know you care, they won’t care what you know.
