About THe Author

Stephen Sharpe is the author of Daddy Said, a book created to help young readers understand the importance of patience, determination, and developing healthy financial habits from an early age. Through his writing, Stephen encourages children to recognize that meaningful success is built gradually through responsible choices, consistent effort, and valuable life lessons.

These values are also reflected in Stephen’s personal commitment to running. Participating in the NYC Brooklyn Ice Cream Social 5K for three consecutive years has reinforced his belief that progress is not only about reaching the finish line. It is about embracing the journey, remaining consistent, and appreciating every step along the way.

Surrounded by an inspiring community of runners, volunteers, and supporters, each race reminds Stephen that growth takes time. Whether training for a 5K or building strong financial habits, he believes that patience, perseverance, and small daily actions can lead to lasting and meaningful success.
