Welcome back to another episode of The Richer Geek Podcast! Today, we have a very exciting guest, Kevin Davis. Kevin's journey began as a recording artist signed with Warner Brothers Records, but his passion for finance led him to Wall Street, where he gained experience as a stockbroker. Seeing a need for accessible investment education, he created Investment Dojo, a gamified stock simulator app that helps people of all ages build confidence in investing. In this episode, Kevin shares his inspiring story, discusses the importance of understanding your investments, and explains how Investment Dojo is empowering families to learn about the stock market together.

In this episode, we're discussing:

• Challenging Start: Kevin was kicked out of his house at 17, living place-to-place while juggling part-time work at UPS and college.

• Wall Street Entry: Inspired by the movie Trading Places, Kevin began his Wall Street career at Stratton Oakmont after a serendipitous conversation with a neighbor.

• Research Skills: Kevin mastered stock research by focusing on free cash flow and business models—skills that became the cornerstone of his success.

• Founding Investment Dojo: During his retirement, Kevin recognized the lack of accessible financial education. He founded Investment Dojo to teach others how to research and build wealth.

• Education-First Approach: Kevin emphasizes teaching people how to analyze stocks and make informed decisions rather than relying on stock picks.
