East Kilbride Credit Union becomes Dream Publishing’s First UK Partner

Austin, TX (February 26, 2026) 

Dream Publishing today announced a partnership with East Kilbride Credit Union (EKCU) to distribute Start Young and Build Freedom to teens through EKCU’s youth programming in Scotland. The partnership marks Dream Publishing’s first collaboration in the United Kingdom.

The co-branded edition of the book, written by Simon Komlos, entrepreneur, Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, and founder of Zogo, provides teens with a practical, story-driven roadmap for developing entrepreneurial skills and building long-term financial confidence.

“At East Kilbride Credit Union, we are committed to supporting young people at every stage of their development, from primary school through to early adulthood,” said Aimie Nicol, General Manager at East Kilbride Credit Union. “Through initiatives like our Skills for Success programme, we help students build confidence, practical skills, and a sense of possibility for their future. Partnering with Dream Publishing allows us to extend that pathway by giving young people a resource they can return to as they begin thinking more seriously about their goals, independence, and financial well-being.”

Start Young and Build Freedom is designed to help teens identify their goals, understand entrepreneurship, and build a strong foundation for long-term financial well-being. Grounded in behavioral psychology and advised by Dr. Sam Akbar, a clinical psychologist and expert in stress and resilience, the book also aligns with Jump$tart National Standards for Personal Financial Education. Each edition is co-branded with partner organizations committed to empowering the next generation.

“We created Start Young and Build Freedom to help teens develop confidence in their ability to shape their own future, no matter where they live,” said Simon Komlos, Founder of Dream Publishing and author of Start Young and Build Freedom. “Seeing East Kilbride Credit Union bring this resource to young people in Scotland is incredibly meaningful. It reflects something we’ve seen everywhere: teens are eager to learn about entrepreneurship and financial freedom, but they need the right tools and encouragement. We’re proud to support EKCU’s leadership in creating those opportunities.”
