Debut author Hawkins first learned about investing in stocks that paid dividends from his mailman father, who studied copies of the Wall Street Journal—hence the book’s title. Debut author David Hawkins’ father was a mailman. The older Mr. Hawkins would sit down with his son after work and instill knowledge that would help him succeed in life. The insight in Ask The Mailman comes out of these many talks. David applied what he learned and has experienced what he calls ‘uncommon’ wealth. Now he wants nothing more than to share his father’s teaching with others and help people face their financial fears. The proceeds from the sales of his book go to support financial literacy organizations.
