Born in 1996, Julian Marchese has been interested in the global financial marketplace since he was 8 years old. He educated himself in investing, speculation, technical analysis, fundamental analysis, and economics.

Developing his first quantitative trading system at the age of 14, Julian has recognized the preeminence and dominance of quantitative systems trading, and the statistical advantages of alternative beta strategies.

In 2014, at age 18, while a freshman at NYU, Julian founded Marchese Investments to capitalize on these strategies by generating consistent risk-adjusted returns for his investors.

At age 20, he dropped out of school to focus on his hedge fund, and currently manages upwards of $5 million.

He is a contributor to CNBC, BloombergTV, & Fox Business. He has also been named one of the most powerful people in finance by Business Insider.

David Hamilton is the founder and CEO of Everlution, a premiere coaching program designed to help you take your life to the next level. David focuses on manipulating your perception and thinking patterns to live a more fulfilling, connected and present life.

A key realization in every man’s life is that his reality is based almost entirely out of his thoughts and his state of “being.” Nothing that happens to you, good or bad, truly affects you until you make it so in your mind.

One of the traps many people fall into is associating too strongly with anyone one group, idea or characteristic. It is very easy to base our identity out of our experiences, religious and political beliefs and goals, instead of realizing that our identity is us, and we are evolving constantly.

The truth is, fulfillment comes from within, nothing external will give it to you. Learn to accept and embrace this and work on building an inner world that can flow and adapt with the changing environment yet remain completely fulfilled.

David struggled with shyness and social anxiety to the point where it interfered his life and self-confidence so much that it was a constant source of pain and frustration.

Now that David has cracked the code and overcome it to create the life he wants, he has since become a “social introvert” and has learned from the inside-out how to be confident and connect with people in many different types of social situations. David now helps others do the same, so they can have more success in their profession, make more money, have better relationships with friends, family and the opposite sex.

At the beginning of 2014, Geoff heard Jim Rohns quote, “you are the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with." This was a quote that would transform his life!

Since then, Geoff has focused on surrounding himself with people who are where he wants to be in 10-15 years, and what a difference it has made!

Geoff is so grateful for the inspiring mentors that are guiding him and he wanted to “pay it forward” by exposing other like-minded people to their message.  That's why he launched The Mentee Podcast…to document his journey From Employee to Entrepreneur and the mentors who are guiding him.
