Meet the Team

A young man with glasses, curly brown hair, and a smile, standing outdoors in front of a building with archways. He's dressed in a navy blue and light blue quarter-zip sweater, light-colored pants, and carries a backpack.

Hi — I'm Daniel Ayoub, a high school student and the founder of The Ground Floor.

I started this review because I have a true passion for politics and economics, and I wanted to share my curiosity with likewise peers. Wanting to understand what was happening in the world — tariffs, elections, the Fed, foreign policy — I kept running into the same wall: coverage that assumed too much, or explained too little. I didn't want someone to tell me what to think. I wanted the information to think for myself.

I figured I wasn't the only one.

So I built the platform I was looking for. If you're a high schooler, a college student, or anyone with an interest in politics and economics — this is for you. This is your ground floor.
