One of my biggest missions in life is to save the world through finance. But what does that really mean?

To me, it’s simple: If society were more confident in its ability to solve problems, we would live in a far better world. Confidence is the key. And how do you build a confident society? You educate them—specifically, on finance, problem-solving, execution, and self-sufficiency.

Unfortunately, in America, the educational system does the exact opposite. Instead of teaching these crucial life skills, it offers little of true value for your future. Worse, it conditions you to believe that you are incapable of achieving anything without relying on a system they designed. This system doesn’t prepare you to tackle real-world problems; instead, it strips away your confidence, leaving you dependent and unprepared.

But here’s the truth: The fastest way to make money is by solving problems. Every successful business is built on providing solutions. Imagine a world where just 30% of the population understood real business principles and finance—where 30% had the confidence to pursue solutions that could change lives.

What would that world look like?

It would be a world that’s significantly more advanced, where diseases are tackled faster, innovations happen more rapidly, and people live healthier lives. Why? Because that 30% would be actively seeking solutions, not just for profit, but for the greater good. And in the process of solving problems, they would generate wealth, driving progress and prosperity.

All we need to get there is a more confident community willing to take on these challenges. And the foundation for that confidence is a better education—one that focuses on financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and practical skills that empower individuals to make a difference.

This is why I’m passionate about what I do. I believe that by providing access to the right knowledge and tools, we can build a society where people don’t just dream of change—they create it. And in doing so, we truly save the world through finance. - Ethan Duran
