Michael Rogers, Vice President Communications for the Small Business Association of Michigan, talks with Geof White, author of Lemonade Stand Economics. Geof began working when he was 14 years old for $3.35 per hour. When he graduated from high school four years later, he was earning $50 per hour, and paid for his college degree from Michigan State University by working for himself cleaning windows.

Geof wrote Lemonade Stand Economics starting with one thought, “If a high school student did what I did to make money with some guidance and without making the same mistakes I did, paying for college would be easy.” He takes his personal experience as a teen working for himself, mixes in his life experience, his business acumen and a pitcher full of passion to provide students a sweet recipe for a debt-free degree.
