I would ask people, professors, um, elders, "What do you know about the stock market?" And that's when I realized professionals across the board, many didn't know, and they would just allow an advisor or financial advisor or 401(k) to kind of do, do the work.

And so I started kind of studying money and realizing this is such a tool, a strong tool for our society.

I started studying, uh, got into Investopedia, learning everything.
