Can us regular folks really pick our own stocks?
Why does it feel like wealth-building advice is designed for people who are already wealthy? The average investor gets shoved into index funds while the rich get white-glove treatment and access to the best stock picks. It’s a rigged game, but it doesn’t have to be.

His new book is called How to Make Money in Any Market and you can pick up a copy on Amazon or listen to his big ideas now on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
