Being trilingual is considered to be rather prestigious. Speaking other languages expands your ability to communicate so greatly it adds to the perceived value people will assign to you. But, when you are fluent in Street, Hustling, Broke Money, and Wall Street it becomes the twist no one ever expected. Wallstreet Trapper comes from a troubled past that includes being homeless at 14 and serving 10 years in prison by the age of 16. What he has learned over the years reaches far beyond knowing how to trade stocks and build wealth. His super power is speaking Wall Street in a language that correlates to the same losing game he played on the streets that ended with being shot, in jail or in prison for nearly everyone he knew. His wisdom and willingness to share and make an impact is affecting future generations and bringing Wall Street to the hood, proving that human potential is truly nearly limitless when you put knowledge to use.

QUOTES:
“Wealthy people do three things. They stop trading time for money. They make the money work for them. And they give as much value to people as they can.” [11:45]
“The reason why people think wealthy people are people with money or sinister, is because that's what you kind of taught in the hood.” [17:09]
“Being at the bottom teaches you to envy people at the top.” [17:53]
“Generational poverty is not about money. It's about mindset.” Tom Bilyeu [18:32]
“People can not want you to succeed all they want, but if you out invest them, they can't stop you.” Tom Bilyeu [19:31]
“One of the things that happens often in the culture of black people is survival mode, you never get a chance to play offense. You're always on defense, one, because of mindset” [22:27]
“A good business is just like a good hustler. A good business has great product. They have great clientele. A great hustler has a great product, he has consistent clientele.” [25:35]
“Once you start understanding the fundamentals, you give yourself power, because you now understand, like you said, you see how the machine works,” [30:22]
“Everybody around me had the same problem. No one represented the solution. So if I don't change something, I'm only going to end up like everybody else.” [32:23]
“I got knowledge, I got information, but I still fell victim to the same shit that everybody around me knew. So therefore, the knowledge that I had wasn't powerful because it wasn't applied.” [34:32]
“It's hard for people to make sacrifice, because you got to now go against and do without some of the things that gives you that momentary gratification.” [37:11]
“The key to building wealth is not how much you can work. You can't work your way to wealth, you got to invest your way there, and all wealthy people, black, white, Asian, Chinese, they own a whole bunch of shit.” [42:31]
“So if I can break down things into struggle language now I'm making the game winnable for everybody. And that's the goal, to make the game winnable for everybody who's bold enough to step into the batting cage.” [50:37]
“Building wealth becomes a revolutionary act because now you start saying I'm going to go against what I was taught.” [52:25]
“The word possible is so powerful. Possible changes the game. Instead of it being impossible, we now say I am possible” [53:09]
“If learning is the catalyst to everybody who's wealthy and successful, I can never be sufficient with what I know.” [54:24]

“The key to wealth is through ownership”. One of the best financial lines ever to be said.

My sister lived in Lantana, Florida, which is right next to Palm Beach. While visiting her once I saw some newspaper article about a summer camp for rich kids being held at The Breakers Resort. It said, in the afternoon the kids were learning to parasail, scuba dive, water ski, etc. BUT... in the morning they were being taught about the Stock Market and how to invest using paper! I believe they also said halfway through the camp they would switch to actually purchasing stocks and then following them for the rest of the camp. THAT'S the difference between poor kids' summer camp and rich kids' summer camp. I went to music camp. Why didn't my parents send me to stock market camp? It never even OCCURRED to them that such a thing was POSSIBLE. Nor did it occur to the people running the camp. How much more would it have cost to teach that instead of teaching kids to play an instrument?

As an investing enthusiast, I often wonder how top level investors are able to become millionaires off investing. I do have about $70k amount of capital to start up but I have no idea what strategies and direction I need to approach to help me make decent returns

I'm happy that this year I deleted social media now I'm watching this kind of content on a daily basis. Read books learning it's a beautiful thing.

"The KNOWLEDGE I had wasn't powerful, because it wasn't APPLIED" 🙌🏾 This interview was right on time 🕉👑💕
-
"You have to make the game winnable in a language they can understand." POWERFUL!
-
Wow! This was an extremely powerful interview. Considering that I am someone who comes from the hood and who has looked for a way out my entire life - 1st out of the hood (succeeded) - 2nd out of poverty (somewhat succeeded) and 3rd out of the rat race that we call the workforce (in progress). I often feel like no one understands me because everyone around me is so comfortable with the way things are. So admittedly it's hard to stay motivated at times. Nevertheless, thank YOU for sharing your story and helping to show how you pushed through and overcame such challenges with your friends and family. I am working my ass off every day to learn as much as I can and to eventually put my knowledge to work. Once I do, I anticipate helping change my family's life and others as well. Wish me luck!
