Welcome to Bedtime History. Hello, this is Breck.

I'm super excited to announce Bedtime History's very first novel.

It's a fast-paced time travel adventure about two teen agents who work for a secret organization that protects history.

Their mission is to stop a mysterious enemy from changing the past and messing up the future.

Along the way they visit iconic locations, meet famous adventers, and learn why these moments in history matter.

It's packed with action, curiosity, and imagination, perfect for kids who love

adventure and discovering how the world was shaped. The book is now available on Amazon as both

an e-book and print book. Just search Explorer Society, World's Fair Conspiracy, or check the

show notes of my latest episodes for a direct link. I'd love for you to check it out, and all proceeds

go to supporting bedtime history. I'm really excited about our current sponsor, Acorns Early,

because it helps kids and families learn to manage their money at an early age, and also to invest it.

So I thought it would be fun to focus this episode on how money works and how you can

grow it. You probably heard the saying, money doesn't grow on trees. And it's true, you can't just

plant a dollar bill in your backyard and expect a tree to sprout leaves made of cash. But here's

the fun secret. Money can grow, kind of like a tree, if you know how to use it the right way.

In fact, a single dollar, just like a tiny acorn, has the power to become something much bigger over time.

Imagine holding a little brown acorn in your hand. It's small, hard, and doesn't look like much. But if you plant that

acorn in the dirt, water it, and give it sunlight and time, something amazing happens. It grows

into a big, strong oak tree. Money works a lot like that. When you invest your money,

put it somewhere smart, where it can grow, it can turn into more money over time.

Investing means putting your money to work so it can grow.

It's different from spending where the money goes away.
