Learn to invest

This is workshop is TRULY at the 101 level. I created this workshop for people who do not have any education about the stock market yet, and feel confused about terms like diversification, mutual fund, 401k, capital gain, roboadvisor, etc. 


We start by defining foundational investing terms, including "investing" and "stock market." I offer a suggestion about how to know when you're ready to start investing. Then I share the 6 steps of long-term passive investing, and give you the baseline knowledge you need to take action on each of those steps: 

1. Choose which type of investment account(s) you want to use 
2. Choose where to open your account 
3. Open the account and transfer money in 
4. Use that money to buy investment asset(s) 
5. Rebalance annually 
6. Later, sell some of those assets, and transfer cash to your bank 

I also share how instead of trying to achieve "ethical investing" or "socially responsible investing," I take the perspective of "harm reduction" when deciding what I want to invest in. 
 
To keep the content at the 101 level, we do not have time to get into things like dollar cost averaging, day trading, crypto, how much to save for retirement, trusts, inheritance, investing outside the stock market, etc. 

The price is a sliding scale $10 - $50 - $100. 

Important disclaimers: This workshop is purely educational, and should not be interpreted as financial or tax advice. All content in this workshop is designed for people in the US, using US dollars, investing in the US stock market.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this workshop live?
The workshop was held in January 2026, and you are purchasing access to the recording, the slides from the workshop, a handout to help you apply what you're learning to your own life, and 90+ minutes of recorded Q&A. 
I'm from another country and don't have any money within the US. Can I still benefit from this workshop? 
Unfortunately I would not recommend it! I do not know how account types, investment platforms, taxes, or access to different types of assets may differ in other countries, and I do not want to misinform you. 
Can I bring my partner/sibling/friend?
I think that learning personal finance is much easier when you're doing it together, so it's a wonderful idea to share this workshop with a loved one! Please pay for each attendee separately. I ask you to please understand that this work is how I earn a living for my family, and respect that the pricing of the workshop is per person.
