19-Year-Old Drops Out of College to Become a Trader... | Lexi | DSH #2147

At just 19 years old, Lexi from Sisterhood Trading Academy is building a trading education business designed specifically for women. In this Digital Social Hour episode, Sean Kelly sits down with Lexi to discuss how she went from working at a golf course and losing money trading to eventually becoming profitable, dropping out of college, and building an all-female trading community. She explains why she saw a gap in the male-dominated trading space and wanted to create an environment where women could learn without feeling pushed aside. Lexi also breaks down prop firms, futures trading, automated systems, webinars, social media marketing, and why she believes authenticity works better than flashy cars and exaggerated income claims. She says she personally generates five figures in some trading months and shares examples of students who she says have achieved significant results through her program. The conversation also covers dropping out of college, dealing with criticism, building a personal brand, scaling education products, AI, live content, and why Lexi believes young people should take bigger risks before major responsibilities make those decisions harder.
