Last week, I shared my journey with trading stocks. That's all because a good friend introduced me to Teri Ijeoma back in 2022. Teri has made $1 million in a day in the stock market (multiple times) and has the #1 course on Teachable. Not only is she an amazing businesswoman, she's an incredible teacher.

I've not told too many people this, but I'm finally starting to share that I'm a full-time day-trader. Never in a million years would I have thought that would be my profession. It wasn't something I planned. It kind of just happened.

During my health sabbatical, I needed a way to distract my mind and make money without having to be public-facing. So, I decided to learn how to trade stocks. Fast forward 18-months, and I'm a professional full-time trader.

Yes, I still have the podcast and lead retreats, but trading stocks has provided me more freedom and flexibility in prioritizing what brings me the most joy.

In today's Hustle & Flow episode, I'm sharing why I love trading so much, why I think everyone needs this skillset, and how you can start making short-term investments even as a busy professional.
