Curtis “Wall Street” Carroll is one of the most inspirational traders that I’ve ever met. 
Some of you may have seen his viral Ted Talk. 
Curtis Carroll is a former prisoner in California. He has been released on parole, from a sentence of 54 years for his crimes committed at an early age. 

His inspirational journey began in jail when he taught himself how to read using newspapers and magazines. Despite facing huge adversity, Curtis discovered his passion and purpose when he stumbled across the financial pages in the newspaper. 

As unbelievable as it sounds, Curtis taught himself how to trade stocks, and eventually began teaching financial literacy classes to fellow inmates. Even some guards and officers have testified for him that Curtis offered them valuable stock market insights back then.

In this podcast, I’m joined by 2 stock market millionaires, Curtis Carrol, and our old friend, Cody Yeh, a stock options investor. You will learn:
1. How they achieved their first bucket of wealth
2. The mindset and rules that helped them achieve success
3. Their stock market strategies
4. Their biggest career losses, and how they recovered
