Would you rather have a million dollars today, or one cent that doubles every day for a month? Omar: The million. Obviously. Lena: The penny ends up at over five MILLION. Omar: How? Lena: Think of a snowball. It picks up snow, and the bigger it gets, the more snow it picks up each turn. Omar: So the interest earns interest. Lena: Exactly. That's compounding. The secret ingredient isn't the amount, it's time. Omar: So the takeaway: start small, start early, and don't touch the snowball. Want your own version? The AI writes a fresh script and casts a voice for every speaker.
