I was fortunate to have Ken as a teacher and he has remained a mentor and role model in the years since. He's sharp and passionate about teaching, but most impressively he genuinely understands people. All of these qualities and more have helped him create the simplest, most practical guide to building wealth.

It was great to have a professional from the community come in and speak to our students. Mr. Lanuza reinforced the personal financial literacy concepts we covered in our Economics classes and related well to all of our students. They thoroughly enjoyed his presentation and learned so much from it.

Mr. Lanuza solidified learning and engaged students who needed an experienced investor to speak personally about the changes happening in the world. He gave students hope, no matter where they are starting. He was a gift to many of my students whom have never met a real investor.
