Leonard Euler, Chief Inspiration Officer
If he was available today, we’d have him on our board. Swiss mathematician, physicist, astronomer, geographer, logician and engineer; Euler made many important discoveries in mathematics, such as infinitesimal calculus and graph theory. His importance to us is his discovery and proof of the Rule of 72, a key element of how compounding works, and his mathematical confirmation of why income investing works.
