    Your Job Will Never Make You Wealthy - Until You Do This! | Episode 253

    Most people are one wake-up call away from building real wealth in the stock market — they just haven't had theirs yet. In this episode, filmed live at the New York Stock Exchange, we sat down with Chris, a 6-year trading veteran who spent 15 years grinding through corporate America before discovering the stock market changed everything. Chris went from making $11/hour at Citibank with a $6 raise over nine years, to trading his way to $84,000 in a single day. This conversation is raw, real, and packed with lessons you won't hear from most finance influencers — including how he almost blew up his account chasing AMD, why he compares his trading strategy to a relationship, and the powerful moment his wife's car title became the turning point that changed his family's financial future forever. Whether you're brand new to investing, curious about options trading and technical analysis, or trying to figure out how to make your money work harder than you work for it — this episode is for you.
