As a proud Iowa State alumnus, I’m excited to share Eden’s Money Magic: Learning About Finances, a children’s book I co-authored with my twin brother, Quinlan H. Riser. The story follows Eden as she learns key money lessons--saving, spending with intention, and setting goals--while encouraging parents and caregivers to have open, age-appropriate conversations about money at home. What began as a personal effort to teach my daughter healthy financial habits grew into a two-generational resource rooted in education, empowerment, and community impact. We hope it sparks meaningful conversations in families everywhere and reflects the Cyclone spirit of service and innovation.
