Author Bio After spending more than a decade travelling the world exploring different cultures and languages, I'm happy to now be contributing to the Motley Fool's mission to make the world smarter, happier, and richer. What's great about exploring business and the economy is the insight it gives you into how things are in the world. While I no longer get to exercise my analytical muscles with linguistics, it's rewarding to analyze business and share my opinions through this platform. Appreciate my writing, have an idea for me, or is there an issue with something I wrote? Feel free to reach out to me at jon.quast@foolcontractors.com.
