Money Learnings:
When Sohale was very young (around 4-5 years old), his mother would play investment tapes in the car. These tapes discussed topics like how to invest in the stock market. Surprisingly, Sohale found these investment tapes interesting and "cool" at a young age, which was unusual for a child. In elementary and middle school, Sohale participated in fake stock programs, which he enjoyed and which sparked his interest in entrepreneurship. Sohale's mother approached investing with more fear and emotion, while his father was more even-keeled and objective about financial decisions. Through his father's approach, Sohale learned about the importance of understanding larger economic forces when making financial decisions.
