In this special Take Your Kid to Work Day edition of Lead-Lag Live, Grade 9 student Ezra Briski steps in as host to explore this year’s theme: Lift Up Your Future — how the choices we make today shape the opportunities we have tomorrow. Ezra sits down with Seth Cogswell, Founder and Managing Partner at Running Oak Capital , to discuss why starting early with money and investing can change your entire life’s trajectory. In this episode, Seth shares: – Why compounding is like a superpower for people who start young – The lesson: “Easy choices, hard life. Hard choices, easy life.” – How to think of money as a tool , not something to chase – Why discipline matters more than picking the perfect stock – How to avoid “today’s impulse” stealing “tomorrow’s possibilities” – Why reading and learning from others is the cheat code to growing faster – The importance of minimizing distractions and building real-world confidence This episode is about building habits , not hype. It’s about learning to value your future self — and taking steps now that make life easier later. Lead-Lag Live brings you inside conversations with the financial thinkers who shape markets.
