On a rainy afternoon, not long ago, I walked a few blocks to a local coffee shop near my office and ordered an iced latte with almond milk. While the barista made the drink, I looked over a few of my top holdings on my phone and watched CNBC on the television in the shop. Once the drink was made, I grabbed it, thanked the barista & walked back to my office.

Once back, I took a few sips and grew increasingly concerned that the latte was made with normal milk, & I have not drank dairy in years. To avoid any stomach pain, I walked back to the coffee shop and asked the barista who made the drink what milk she used. She informed me it was indeed made with almond milk. Almond confirmed.

I was then able to drink my latte in peace. This small feeling of relief and success is something I want to help others feel by providing investment education and research.
