About the Know It Olly Site
At Know It Olly, we believe that everyone should have access to simple and clear explanations about finance, no matter their background. Our mission is to take financial terms, concepts, ideas, and cycles that often sound complex and explain them in a way that even a 10-year-old could understand.
We know that people learn in different ways, which is why we’re expanding our content to YouTube. For every blog post, there will be a corresponding video, so you can choose to either read the information or watch and listen. Our goal is education: simplifying complex financial topics so that beginners or those just seeking quick, jargon-free answers can feel confident in understanding the financial world.
With YouTube being the second-largest search engine after Google, we recognize that many prefer to watch and listen instead of reading. Our goal is to make learning about finance easy and accessible to everyone, whether you prefer written content or videos.

I started this blog and YouTube channel because I noticed a gap in how financial information is explained. Too often, important details about new policies or government actions are delivered by experts who use complex language, making it hard for everyday people to understand what it all means. I have the ability to break down this information, and I want to share it with people who might otherwise miss key points or misunderstand the impacts that aren’t covered by regular media.
While I don’t have formal training in finance, I’ve run two businesses, and I’m always hungry to learn new things. When something piques my interest, I dive in deep, doing my own research. This blog is my way of keeping notes on what I learn, while also helping others by presenting clear, easy-to-understand information.
What makes my approach unique is my commitment to simplifying things and focusing on the real-world impacts on regular people. I’m not just here to explain finance terms—I’m here to shed light on the truths behind them, especially when they’re being used to confuse or mislead.
I hope that my readers and viewers come away with more knowledge and a deeper understanding of how the financial world affects their everyday lives. I also aim to highlight that government actions may take time to show their full impact. I believe we’re heading into a time of significant economic upheaval, and my goal is to create a resource that remains relevant for the future, not just the present.
