Lucas Tindell joins us in our studio to share his success that he has had by doing LinkedIn live streaming and other social media outlets to share his voice with the world.Lucas is big into live streaming on LinkedIn, Facebook and other platforms out there that can get out to his audience. LinkedIn has been the place where he started seeing success and shares with us how he started to where he is today and what he has planned for the future.Live streams are not just for gaming anymore, rather they are a way to get out to an audience and engage with them directly. You saw it likely before where people would stream on Twitch about gaming and now you can find people sharing just personal life or in this case professional life. As Lucas shares, there is a lot of potential to get out there and make connections.

We had a chance to sit down with 10 year old Geo (Seth's son) to talk to him about stocks that he is interested in and teaching him about investing in stocks.The reason we wanted to have Geo join us is because it's a great way to kick off some education about investing. To our surprise, he knows his stuff. This is a great place to get some education about terminology that is used when you are interested in trading.You'll hear Geo talk about stocks that he is interested in, from Tesla stock, CVS stock, and few others, the perception that Geo has of the markets is actually in line to what we believe in and have talked about in the past.Another takeaway from this is that if a 10 year can learn and do stocks, then really anyone can get involved in the market. Sometimes it just takes a little bit education and getting yourself to a point where you know the basics and learn along the way. Is Geo on the right track with everything, he definitely is.
In this episode, we talk about the stock market and economy not syncing up, how the stock market is up but the economy keeps going downward and where is the economy going from our perspective.Everyone is probably wondering, how is the economy doing? To be perfectly honest, we here at Learn From Us have done the deep dive into wanting to understand how the economy is doing through all this news happening these days. Something that we see quite often is the correlation between the stock market and the economy and where its at. In reality, the two aren't always the same.—We release new episodes every Monday and Thursday!SUBSCRIBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChBVf9YnourrEDTsbbwJPRA?sub_confirmation=1LISTEN to the audio podcasts: https://www.spreaker.com/show/learn-from-us-investor-academy-podcastVideo editing by Rohan and Sharvari (The Tweaky Tales)—You've heard us talk a great deal over the last few weeks about stocks that have peaked our interest, should you invest right now, where are the stocks heading...but given what we are seeing in the markets, a lot of things don't add up to how the economy is performing. Unemployments rates are up, people are still under lock down in certain states and not able to do what they need to do and nothing screams out that the markets should be trending upward.You'll hear in this video, that 99% of people should be savers, saving every month into broad based funds. Investing on the other hand is a process where you need to understand what your buying and what price your buying it at. These are big differences in things that you do in the market. The last type of person in the market is the Speculator, someone that looks at something and blames it on another group or class for this instance.
We check in with Jameson Reeves from Full Grip Games. Jameson is a local game store owner that we previously had one earlier this year and amidst all the things that are happening with the economy, how has the gaming industry been affected?Jameson's business focuses a lot on the trading card game industry along with the board game industry.

That said, Jameson has been fulfilling orders directly online through his store. His board game business is another place that it has shined over the last few months as families are looking for something to do together and with a wide assortment of board games available on the website, there is something for just about anyone out there.
Today we show what it takes to be a good investor, what's happening in the economy and what to do to plow through and come out ahead of it all, along with a discussion about who the true G.O.A.T. is, either Michael Jordan or Lebron James.There has been so much talk these days about the economy and the state that its in. We wish that there was a book that came with all this that is happening these days to layout the foundation as to how we should move forward. Are we going to get sick, is there a chance I could get sick if I go out...it's hard to say. Same rules go with investing right now.The market is volatile. Take a look at oil prices this past week. It went so low it was in the negatives. Does that mean its not something good to invest in right now. It's hard to say. You'll hear us talk about how commodities are not a strength we have but we have invested in them. However, we aren't here to tell you what you should buy in to or what you should do with YOUR money. We are here to really here to show you what we have done and what steps we have taken to be a good investor.
