Quote from Douglas Rice

"Having taught finance to everyone from graduate students to low-income individuals, and everyone in between, my enjoyment stems from taking concepts that feel complicated or confusing to others and reframing them in a way so they don't just understand them, but they internalize them and apply them every day."
