About the Micawber Principle

“They say I tell a great many stories. I reckon I do, but I have learned from long experience that people are more easily influenced through the medium of a broad and humorous illustration
than in any other way.” – President Abraham Lincoln

My name is Brent Esplin, founder of the Micawber Principle blog. Like President Lincoln I
believe in the teaching power of stories. I am a money storyteller, and I use this blog to teach the
simple, timeless and transforming principles of wise money management through stories. I am a
licensed CPA living in Salt Lake City, Utah. I have a lovely wife, Alice, four wonderful
children, and the cutest grandson in the history of the world.
