If you are not familiar with that part of the United States, it is one of the roughest areas\u00a0in the country and teaching public school there is no easy task.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;and that is probably a big understatement.<\/p>\n<p>But Greg found ways to get students interested in learning, through trading&#8230;which is really cool.<\/p>\n<p>We have a very down-to-earth talk about some of his greatest achievements, what drives him as a trader and some of the\u00a0most painful moments on his trading journey.<\/p>\n<p><em>I hope that you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I enjoyed doing it!<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>In This Episode<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>His huge\u00a0early win in Yahoo<\/li>\n<li>The personality trait that makes him good at scalping Forex<\/li>\n<li>The stocks that his public school students bought (and made money on)<\/li>\n<li>Why he's always looking for &#8220;the party&#8221;<\/li>\n<li>The lowest moment in his trading career<\/li>\n<li>How talking to dudes\u00a0in the bathroom might be good for your trading career<\/li>\n<li>Why the idea of bulls and bears is a misconception<\/li>\n<li>And more!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Click Play To Listen To The Interview<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">[powerpress]\n<h2>Trading Examples<\/h2>\n<p>If you want to watch Greg trade live, here are a couple examples.
