Stonks, Davey Day Trader, Roaring Kitty, Wall Street Bets - you've heard the names and the meme stock trades going to the moon. While the groundswell of retail investors piling into $GME may seem like a one-time deal, the rise of retail investor influencers is here to stay. Iris Finance sees this moment as pivotal for changing the narrative around investing, and its platform is geared towards empowering individuals to showcase their investments and have people follow their activity passively. Iris founder Chris Josephs talks to Scott about enabling the average consumer and easy way to immerse themselves in trades and participate in the financial system like we've never seen before.
