- Financial literacy isn't a skill -- it's a lifestyle. Take it from Curtis "Wall Street" Carroll. As an incarcerated individual, Caroll knows the power of a dollar. While in prison, he taught himself how to read and trade stocks, and now he shares a simple, powerful message: we all need to be more savvy with our money.

Purchasing a stock may seem straightforward, but selecting the correct stock without a proven strategy can be exceedingly challenging. I've been working on expanding my $210K portfolio for a while, and my primary obstacle is the lack of clear entry and exit strategies. Any advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
the strategies are quite rigorous for the regular-Joe. As a matter of fact, they are mostly successfully carried out by pros who have had a great deal of skillset/knowledge to pull such trades off.
I agree. Based on personal experience working with an investment advisor, I currently have $1m in a well-diversified portfolio that has experienced exponential growth. It's not only about having money to invest in stocks, but you also need to be knowledgeable, persistent, and have strong hands to back it up.
How can I participate in this? I sincerely aspire to establish a secure financial future and am eager to participate. Who is the driving force behind your success?.
Sonya lee Mitchell is the licensed fiduciary I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with a correspondence to set up an appointment.
I just checked her out on google and I have sent her an email. I hope she gets back to me soon.
His enthusiasm and happiness about his ability to read. Brought tears to my eyes.
He is so intelligent.
Watching this young man for some reason gives me hope. I'm a 50yr white woman who at one time had everything I could've ever wanted. Now I NEVER see my adult kids nor my grandbabies. I live on a puny Disability check & I live in some crummy apartments, also with no vehicle. My family down here WILL NOT help me or co-sign for me to get a loan while they're raking in the dough.
However, this young man learned to read, spell, & taught himself about money. God bless you young man for giving others hope.
He’s a murder..
generic username they are correlated, though. It was his intelligence that told him to push through the pain of reading a book and learning to read. He wanted to stop his ways. If he wasn’t intelligent he would’ve stopped 2 pages into that book.
@@stephaniewilliams3428 may you be financially literate
@@genericusername8337 I mean I understand the nuances that you are differentiating but you can't deny this dude is intelligent. This inference not only comes from his speech, but the fact that he learned the stock market..
This man is truly gifted. His charisma and comfortability on stage is inspiring. I pray he gets the chance to see freedom and be used as a tool to help people in the world!!
Amen. 🙏
@F U Money Prison is for teaching and reforming individuals for reintroduction to society; not locking away for all eternity. Thats why tax payers fund the prison system, to encourage non criminal lifestyles that result in prison sentences.
@F U Money I totally see where your coming from. I think there are a few exceptions like this man to have another chance in life. I'd say he made up for what he did by owning up to it and helping those that chose the wrong path.
@F U Money yeah I get where your coming from but I believe that prison changed this man to make better choices. I can respect whatever opinion you have but in my opinion, this man is gifted and has a lot of potential and deserves to have parole

That's deep. Wow.
This guy's got communication skills. He is very articulate and has a good sense of humor and is very intelligent. He does not sound like one who has been illiterate for 22 years of his life. Determination is powerful.
Are you saying “he speaks so well”
Adam Kerwin no that doesn’t work look at the profile the dude is black himself
I agree his determination is out of this world
Tanyu Elvis my friend that is the art of a hustler the bitter sweetness of being a kid out of the mud. We learn the inner workings over everything and can maneuver enough to survive in various environments so well that one could never tell illiteracy is a problem. Because we do everything else so well. In

For someone who was illiterate and taught himself out of that problem, he did a great job in his public speaking and getting his message out. Congratulations, Mr. Carroll, and all the best in your endeavors and imparting your wisdom to others.
I think the illiterate part was made up.
@@pbufh why is it so hard for you to believe? the illiteracy rate in 2022 is 21%. when you come from the environment he comes from it’s not uncommon to see that. there’s ppl in this exact situation not doing anything to better themselves. tip your hat off to someone who’s doing what he can to better himself instead of questioning whether his story is true or not
Unbelievable delivery. Most authentic TED talk I've seen.
True - another authentic TED Talk is neuroscoentist Jill Bolte Taylor talking about her experience of having a stroke. Mind boggling.

Yeah this guy is amazing at speeches and his topic is perfect.
Troy Tucker you a real nutmeg
Yes he is absolutely direct!
The smartest people that i have ever come across are always self taught just like this guy!
Facts
Exactly right. They were not spoonfed in the schools but were smart enough to teach themselves. That is real intelligence.
That is true....
You learn if you open your mind .
that is correct because in the 10th grade I dropped out of school and now I'm a founder of a nonprofit organization and also a real estate buyer and now I love reading anything to do with law tax law I love it
Desire. Some have so much that just a few things could've so many lives when they're young and looking for guidance and acceptance. Mr. Curtis Carroll has my respect and admiration. Keep going bro!!
I have been watching some videos and I was thinking about investing in bitcoin or forex , but still don't know where to start from,
Same here ,It's strange how people talk about all the profits, they've been making through trading of bitcoin, while am here not making any profit at all. Please can Someone put me through on the right path.
Most time having knowledge or insight about a particular activity can as well be a pleasing exercise. I can boldly say that forex and crypto trading is one of the profitable money exchange services that elevates investors and their financial status.
@@shellyjones755 That's true most people today have been having a lot of failures in forex and crypto sector because of poor orientation or bad experts
You don't make money on forex or crypto by holding your coins rather you trade to make gains
@@haywanchiu9971 I believe your view
I would gladly take a class lead by him, cause he speaks so clearly in a way that I can actually understand.
As someone who's recieved a decent education and who is constantly expanding his knowledge, I seriously wish I was as well spoken as this man. He speaks like someone with a double major bachelor's degree in finance and sociology. The speech was so articulate and concise in its delivery that it felt like every single word was necessary. He naturally intergrated some higher level words in such a casual way it sounded like he's always talked like this.
Seriously, he's not just a testament to financial literacy, he's a testimony to self-education. Knowledge has truly elevated this man to new heights.
See
So impressed by his eloquence.
Yes i agree with you

Well said.
Thats what reading does, it expands your vocabulary and consciousness. Btw Self education will always make you a fortune. 🙏🏽💯
Our prison system needs reform. Not trying to get political but I think mass incarceration is not the way to go. I am so happy for this man, warms my heart
Nate O'Brien
You do realize that this guy went to prison for robbery/murder right? Incarceration for that type of crime is necessary. Your point in this particular instance holds no validity here. Going to prison for selling weed can be disputed, but not this.
Murdering thieves belong in prison ya bleeding heart liberal...
Nate O'Brien America needs reform including prison 😎👍 like he said even the middle class is living paycheck to paycheck and it’s all due to lack of financial literacy
norway has recidivism rate 20% USA 60%. i wonder what there prison system is like in Norway.
Nate, I see your point, but take a look at the German prison system. There is actually a very good youtube about an American judge who travels to Germany to study their system.

Indeed.
He learned to read and trade stocks in prison. Meanwhile, US public schools barely teach economics🤔. Something is extremely wrong with the US education system. Parents in urban communities must apply for a "great school". Then wait to be chosen from a lottery. 😒
That's why we must consider homeschooling, and create our own curricula.
@@MsBlackBeauty777 Many have to work and cant afford to homeschool. Many Americans rely on two incomes.
GREAT JOB!!!!! TEACH AND SERVE THE YOUNG IN THE AMERICA FIRST, NATIONWIDE, INSTEAD OF ENTERTAINING THE PRIVILEGE .
Black Ceasar
This is no accident.
I am a 12th grade high school student who has an Advance Placement Economics class. They don't barely teach economics.
It's not the school it's the students, if a student really cared about economics they would have the best grades in those classes and we have a whole text book all about economics with vocabulary and everything. It's the students' mindset. A lot of us Americans don't care about school until it's too late
Financial literacy needs to be taught to all school age children.
Unfortunately, that won't ever be a thing because... HIERARCHY
Life Is Good all they teach is algebra
Big corp won’t like that.
They cant teach it at school, but there is a way around.....teach it yourself to your kids, and you will be glad you did. Im doing it in the remote Jimi Valley in the highlands of Papua New Guinea.
Yes but it won't. There has to be feeder and takers. This what we have isn't perfect but it is the best from all that we had. If this system is to survive we need more and more at the bottom as literate slaves. If those slaves get up the master must come down but only a few can be at the top. This is more then a system, it is an ecology. If the slaves gets smarter the machines replaces them. Don't even bother, this isn't about us. It never was.
We're all just little stories waiting to be erased for the bigger story.
If someone finds a solution that only means the person wants your money. Your on your own. Good luck.
The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine. Successful people do daily what the unsuccessful only on occasionally.
You're right, , Thanks for introducing me to mrs jane rucker rutledge
People remain out of ignorance, people are scared of investing because of the high rate of scam in the business.
There are scammers but real brokers are out there for investors
My first investment with mrs jane rucker rutledge gave me profit of over $24,000 Us dollars and ever since then she has never failed to deliver and I can even say she is the most sincere broker I have known
Yes I'm a living testimony of mrs jane rucker rutledge
This is exactly why you never give up on yourself
Amen
Most times I have knowledge or insight about a particular exercise. I can boldly say forex and crypto trading is one of the profitable money exchange...
you are right sir
This should be most massive period of time to invest in forex trading due to current status
As a bitcoin trader it's most inevitable that you're going to experience some set ups and downs along the way, alertness and decisiveness are both fundamental ingredients....
I did time with that man in Soledad back in the early 2000s. Cool dude, always walked around with a news paper in hand talking about the stock market. Despite the none believers and doubters, no one can legitimately debunk his spiel because at the end of the day, he knew what he was talking about. Long ago that was, just glad to see him pop up on my recommendations. Who would've thought. Make noise Curty Bone, make noise...

He is right. Financial literacy is missing at all levels of society, and is easily the biggest cause of our problems, both economic and social. It's amazing how it's one of those issues that people will actively fight against learning. Somehow people have mangled "money can't buy happiness" into "money shouldn't be important to you" - those people are most definitely wrong.
Josh Rizzo money can't buy happiness
*+De Bla*
It can.
@@debla2778 Happiness is an intense pursuit of a goal and achieving it. I made it in spite what was said about me, I transcended the negative narrative that I refuse to wear.
@mikael englund What is happiness to people when denominations didn't exist? In modernity, we have been subliminally seduced, societal conditioning has told us what is valuable. How valuable is anything without wisdom? We know no more than what is told us, who is in control, you and me?

To not too.
Having a dynamic strategy cannot be overemphasized when trading. The best advice I could give to any trader is don’t trade if you don’t have a working strategy.
I’ve only been trading months and I’m still yet to make my first $1000, I’m still trying improve on my trading techniques and strategies and I would really like to make profits from the stock market too
I’ve made a loss of over $25000 trading in my own where can I find an expert to help me recover my losses and also help me earn consistently from the stock market.
I'll suggest my expert Christine Lynn Saitta I trust she could put you on the part to financial freedom with her ever winning strategies. You’re always guaranteed 90% profits trading through her . I made $63k monthly with her trade signal for over 6 months now
How do I reach her ,you got any possible means of getting more info on her services?
Run a search with her name online, you will see all you need to know about her
He speaks in a way where you can't lose focus. He stay on track, but adds in extra details to keep your attention. Super awesome, he's such an amazing public speaker and teacher.
MiyukiYE exactly

We need these life skills before we hit 18 so hopefully we won’t end up incarcerated
Exacly !
They don't want that to happen. Because then, the prison industry would go broke. Why do you think they invented gangster rap? So, yeah I agree with you. Teach your kids yourself about financial literacy. Don't expect the school system to do it for you, because that'll never happen. The prison industry and school systems work together.
This is exactly why you never give up on yourself
@@EricaYE6 yep because my school gave me a one way ticket To jail or death but the ones they want is the ones start off real young I was Practically a baby
Just started learning about stocks.. This is by far the best I've seen. Others are too focused on bragging how good they are, how much they earn without really being informative. Glad I saw this and I do not want to make mistakes by taking risks in my own hands
Most newbies fail simply because they don't understand how the market works in general or in particular how the market relates to stock or currency pair they entering

He's been in prison for over 20 years and he's still there. Tweet @realDonaldTrump and ask for this man who's clearly been rehabilitated to be pardoned. Upvote!
will do
Andy Armstrong not for murder
He was a minor, So i agree there's no excuse but he's done 20 years; he's already given the justice system half of his life practically.
You NEVER see wealthy criminals donate half of their wealth towards any of their victims, Ethically it should be that way but it isn't. This man has had his freedom taken away for most of his life and even still he's managed to drastically change for the better, He is a walking testimony of reduced recidivism and all you're worried about is taking his money away?
Okay fine, By your logic lets take half of his earnings - then what? It isn't like he can't rebuild after-all he is fairly knowledgeable on the stock market. Whats the money going to do to the family of the victim? Here's $100k from the person who killed your family member.
Have you even bothered to checkout what he's doing? He actually has a foundation dedicated towards helping ex-convicts and low income individuals, teaching them how to trade etc. What kills me is that you seem like the same type of person who is okay with OJ Simpson being freed but frowns upon someone who is contributing positively towards the community and trying to right their wrongdoings.
He is just lucky, if prisonmates find out , they might kill a capitalist mate like that. Every prisons are different. Some poor people getting pride or that them are poor .
Well, he talked me out of spending $80 on nail polishes I didn’t need 🤣 I closed out that tab.

geez $80 on nail polish alone? are you a nail tech?

Get the nail polish but put $80 up in stocks each time you do buy. Come out ahead when we spend money!

I bow to him in show of appreciation of his words!
I had to scroll up to confirm that 2.1 THOUSAND people hit the “Dislike” button and then scroll through a ton of comments to find this again. I can only imagine what kind of human garbage hit the dislike button on this TED Talk! I imagine 99% are white, republican, “Christian” and the biggest HYPOCRITES to walk the planet. This man is brilliant and will go far on life once he is one the outside! I hope he gets out soon and makes a mark on the WORLD! This man is going places! ♥️
@@LizzyArmogida Maybe they don't like him because he murdered someone...
He made me think how much money do I spend when I get emotional 🤔

@Hutton Lance I was in April 2020 not now watching it grow $$$$$
Best TED Talk EVER. There was 0 fat on his speech, everything said was pooignant, direct and easily understandable
M. Lewis i laughed at 'poooignant'
that was a great speech.. truly inspiring
Sultan D i learned something
These sort of "inspirational" fables of a subject rising "from the rags to riches" are always as cringeworthy, and awkwardly manufactured. Here we have one person going from one theft to another. Like trading stocks is some sort of pinnacle of human ethical potential. Surely there are better ways to attain wealth (not even going into the question whether blind attainment of financial wealth would be a meaningful singular goal in life) than being a broker, trading stocks. Classic, and always as grossly unintellectual and underestimating, tried and tested TED-piece. Bravo, the meek folk down in the trenches are now thoroughly satiated.
Sultan D Yes! I agree. Absolutely inspiring.
Arturo Senni you missed the point completely. His entire point was the financial illiteracy of Americans.
snteevveetns well if it works for americans it must work for any person in earth? How is finance differ betweeb newyork, california or kathmandu?? As long as we not in middle of amazon forest, every words he said applies to where people have lived and going to live, as long as you wish to live among those people cuz money is literally symbol for TRUST BY ALL PPL whatever form it may be..so making that TRUST factor work for you instead you working lifelong for it is desirable and most important lesson one can give in this day and generation.
“So I can show you how much money it really cost you every time you get emotional” buddy’s a genius.
His entire speech plays with your emotions. So go ahead, pay for his course.
Being rich is your mindset, just like Carroll he learnt how to trade stocks while behind bars while the other inmates where thinking of how to get out and commit another crime or get themselves a side hustle.He prepared his mind to learn and read stocks although trading Stocks is a challenging business without a professional manager you're lost.
This is a strong message👍👍👍,it got me thinking..🤔🤔.
I feel you,but how do one get them self a professional trader to handle and manage their trades??I am really having a hard time profiting from stocks.
Mr.Alex Portsmouth is the most responsive broker with whom I have ever traded. He is an expert in trading stocks, and systems that he uses is phenomenal.His explanation of the systems has been of great aid to my understanding of the rhythms in stocks.His support and responsive communication have made trading far more enjoyable than I have ever experienced. My trading is much improved since I became Mr.Portsmouth’s client and my profit have more than doubled
I have been trading/investing under Alex Portsmouth for the past 6 months and I have been able to make good income on my Investments thanks to Portsmouth,Because of his efforts, I am rich and more comfortable, I have a better life and most importantly, trading has become fun.
Outstanding master of his craft incredibly bright with a treasure trove of skills and trading knowledge; expert in stocks and many other markets, spontaneous personality that makes trading fun...The results I have achieved to date are largely due to Portsmouth's perfect combination of diverse trading methods,skills and experience
I have done MBA in FInance and this is the best lecture I have ever heard on Personal Finance. He truly deserves standing ovation!!!
I hate to say it but then you wasted your money in an MBA in Finance if this video thought you more than your college degree. The moment you learned how to calculate future/present value and forecast cash flows you should have known the importance of managing money (personal or otherwise).
@@MrSupernova111 nowhere in the comment did she say the video taught her more than her mba degree. just because u took some intro or managerial accounting, doesnt mean ur qualified to be giving any advice on personal finance. with that said.. i must agree.. mba in finance is a completely worthless degree.. u might as well go for applied math and statistics for quant finance like me instead

@D A Henry, actually December 2022. Hopefully this is the good one 🤞
Everyone had their eyes glued on him!!! AMAZING 💯🙏🏽👌🏽
This Ted talk was the best talk I’ve ever heard on the subject of personal finance. It should be taught to all children in school. God bless.
Ray Runn exactly
and personal accountability
Bill Gates needs this teachers help.
I think you're responding to his passion and the fact that he is a former criminal. It's antithetical to what you expect. Thousands of American's are teaching these principles, but don't have the back story that fires them. Lots of Black men are powerful speakers. Perhaps you didn't know that. It's a feature of Black community that I am accustomed to as a Black female.
Ray Runn God doesn’t exist
That was an phenomenal speech very inspiring
Great talk , Dandre! Very inspiring for the youth that will listen, absorb, & respect !
God bless,
Dave Stratton
Hands down, da best TED talk I’ve ever seen. Sweet Jesus
New to stock trading too learning how to buy the dip after a swing. 😂 😂 😂 😂
Understood the term "market swing" better when i lost $67K last November.
@@kathleenstoner.n7499 And still breathing? How are your trades lately?
@@pizzaguy7998 Yeah. Great and impressive. found one Sandra Yvonne Webster on the web in all honesty, she's an Angel.

All ted talks are inspiring and wonderful but this is certainly among some of the greater ones
When you figure out how to read and sell stocks you won't find this story amazing. It's actually really easy and I'm not trying to down play it. We just think it's hard because that's how it's portrayed.
7:16 "Our access to justice"
Probably the strongest observation of this entire video. In America you have access to the justice your money can finance. Two people could commit the same crime, but if one is wealthy and he other is not, they won't be receiving the same justice.
AMAZING. Eloquent. Intelligent. Smart. Funny.
This young man is a beacon of light.
He represents hope, faith, self awareness, self realization.
Etc etc etc.
every high school kids and EVERYONE on earth MUST watchthis !
Wow!!! He's awesome. Be said, "Let me show you how much it costs you every time you get emotional." I also like how he says we need to get to the heart of the matter. So true.

shalenadiva you right bit
That's not the problem ..That's working 10 to 15 hours for shoes... That's actually affordable.
...so true so very '''TRUE"""-
I DID OT UNDERSTAND THAT LINE..
I couldn't read till 23 years old and I prayed to God I wanted to read the Bible so much because my life was full of drugs thugs and alcohol I was on my way to the grave but the Lord showed compassion on me and over three nights I learned how to read it made me cry so much I could read for people like me it meant I could get a real job Jesus is full of love for his people
Amen young man best wishes to you. Keep up the good work. You can do anything you put your mind too. Never let no one tell you you can't.
+Carolyn Gardner thank you
The Holy Bible doesn't make you a better person. If you are rotten , nothing can change yourself. Instead , all the motivation and the good qualities have to come from inside yourself. There are people who go to the church to plan robbery or worst just because police is so blind that won't go to church to see if is all good or the observant are praying regularly. You don't need a bunker to plan a crime.......church has been one of the best place where Mafia boss met to discuss about what to do.....a word to the wise....
+me me love to you brother it's change my life not church the word of God thank your for your input 😊
I am wondering if there were free classes offered would you have gone?
I'm asking because I have some time on my hands while I figure out what to do next with my life
I would love to help people learn to read.
One of my favorites TED talks!
Clicked for the title, stayed for the journey. That ending blew my mind and will be on repeat till it’s in engraved in my heart.
So cool he got a standing ovation at the end. a great speech.
That's what I'm talking about! Nice talk, really refreshing and motivational!
ΜrCookie tipplhbnn chjbbfghbn vhkm
ΜrCookie It truly is. 💯
ΜrCookie, I Totally Agree With You Whole Heartily!!!!!!!!
Quite magnificent and inspiring words. I recently have been using a Forex strategy it's called the *Blended Model Strategy* it was imparted to me by DMITRY VLADISLAV and with it, I make 1650 EUR daily. This strategy has been reliable and effective to me, so I figured this might interest you too and other traders. you can search about on the internet to get informed.
His story is very inspirational. He is on the right track. I hope to accomplish what he has done. I'd like to see many millions more people see this. Thank you.
One of the realest ted talks I’ve heard. I so relate to you my dude!
Love it. Props to this guy for turning it around. Respect where it's due.
What Jay-Z talked about in The Story of OJ is real. Financial literacy needs to become more popular.
Toni Capone Indeed I’m so illiterate what’s financial literacy 💰💸💵💴💶💷💷💲💲💲💲💲🗝🔑🔑🗝❔❔❔
So true
7BAG7 GORDON are you me?😂 same
Incredible. Just incredibly inspiring; shows just how much a lot of us can forget how fortunate we are with our education.
This is the best TED I've come across in my lifetime. I also aspire to learn trading personally because the stock market has been really profitable. I've cleared off my debts and reinvested in other businesses to ensure cashflow.
Oh wow Ella... That sounds huge. I'm new to the stock market and will need every possible guidance and assistance
Stock changed my life, I hope you all are lucky enough to come across a broker as passionate as mine.
Engage the services of an expert broker/investment advisor.
Overtime I have heard that beginners are better off with professional assistance but I am aloof as to how to go about it, any recommendations?
@@donwilliams2353 I use a broker Patrice Ann Isabella she’s been guiding me with my investment since I began late last year and I’ve been able to accrue a profit of $326,000 with a principal of $85,000
I would like to take his class! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
All you have to do is knock over a few vending machines & wait for the cops ;) You can sign up once you're in prison. I'm joking. Great lecture.
adilk2005 lol, you just killed me dude😂
adilk2005 😂😂😂
Rrodriguez Aavalos I’ll like to take you 😏😉
Rrodriguez Aavalos me too
I was in his class at soledad. When it was a main line. I finished at Tracy. I'm investing right now
WHAT BOOKS WOULD YOU RECOMMEND??? THANKS IN ADVANCE!
@@andrecrapps7914 start with something like Phil Town or Mohnish Pabrai. Or check out Hamish Hodder youtube channel, he explaines the basics nicely.
Best of luck!!
One of the best TED Talk I've ever watch and youtube recommends it
I'm not always interested by the conferences, but this one.. man this one is TRULY GREAT.
A Diamond in the Rough! He had it automatically, he only needed to reach deep into himself and he found it. What a Blessing! I pray that Yah will continue to Bless and guide him❤❤🙏🏽
I dont think he's a diamond in the rough, there are so many more intelligent young men out here. They just need to be equipped with opportunities, resources and positive role models before they get involved with crime. His TED talk was really inspiring and I am sure it will help some other young men going down the wrong path want to choose success over crime. May God bless this world and take back his children from the streets.
I’m really proud to see this articulate young black man doing something better, this guy is so intelligent he’d be a great spokesperson for our community #FreeHim
He’s locked up?
I'm tired of our kids learning when it's almost too late
The stock market is one of the most potential places to invest your money, investing in stock is often risky which draws attention to the huge losses and gains of investors,if you can manage the risk you can take advantage of the stock market to secure your financial position and earn money
@Felix Thomsen well said, individual stocks rise and fall which means there is opportunity for you to earn daily if you invest in a stable company or firm that is able to grow tend to make profit for investors
@Felix Thomsen I recently joined the stock and it will be more profitable if I trade through the guidance of an expert but i’m a bit curious,Hope your advisor aint a freelance broker? If it is I won’t want to get my hands in and my hopes up high
@Felix Thomsen Trading through the guidance of pro trader wilson has been a profitable insight for me,Her strategies are so flexible I don’t even trade i just invest and make benefits from the comfort of my home
Teach me
One of the best tedtalks i've listen to.
That was deep. My debt is all wrapped up in emotion
I think all of us or at the least most of us can agree
I loved how so many of the audience were leaned forward as to absorb every word. POWERFUL.
Amazing. I'm so happy you found your purpose and shared your success with us. Thank you.
Best TED talk. All the great men I know of were self-taught. Look forward to seeing more of his talks and class.
Best Ted talk i've seen. Our current system sets up criminals to go back to crime and drug addicts to use drugs again. Focus on education, recovery, prevention not punishment or retribution.
that's powerful stuff...god bless this man
God bless the family of the person he murdered.
Glad he murdered and robbed people, he's now able to spread knowledge.
God is great......
GREATEST TED TALK I'VE SEEN! SO AUTHENTIC AND REAL! SALUTE TO THIS MAN AND HIS FAMILY
This man would be a billionaire on the streets..god bless him
This man would we a billionaire on the streets..god bless him
This man would we a billionaire on the streets..god bless him
Two Amens
I’m extremely humbled- I wish he would teach me- luv ya man!!!
No shame 😂😂😂
In the right environment this guy could have been a Harvard Grad, Wall Street superstar or a top notch Young Politician
Yes he could have.
Maybe...just a hypothetical. I could also say "in the right environment this guy could have gotten away with murder"
He could still be a Harvard Grad if he just writes about his experiences.
Yes I agree and he is on point; however God knows his heart and future and being incarcerated first will hopefully keep him focus to be a blessing and stay blessed righteously and not return to jail due to greed.
So true, the guy is supper smart
Thank you brother. You've inspired me to teach this to as many as I can. I've alway felt financial knowledge is lacking amongst the poor and middle class.
Awesome dear, I hope much success is awaiting you & your future endavers. Stop focus & be the change we need to see.
Learnt more about life in 11 mins than what schools and colleges have taught in years.
Excellent talk. Keep it up
I was about to steal . Then I hear this man giving a good example and motivated us ,So what I did I stop doing what I use to do because I know in the future I will regret it so I stay away from everything now I feel free.
Congratulations Brother !!!!!!
Roberto Jacques ✊🏿
Respect ✊
Very happy to read this, stay legit and free
well said dude, i made losses when i started investing into cryptocurrency, but i remained steadfast and HODL on, today i make over $30,000 in 2 months, for me this is wealth creation and i just have to keep loading my bank and investing into real estate. guys invest in digital currencies, i can help you get started or get you introduce to my mentor/life coach
Man made me realized that my reading skill means alot to those who can't read. And reading skills could lift you up from your problems. Best salute to this man.
This is just amazing. I truly hope he can get his freedom and write a book. We need people with his knowledge in our society.
