What 4 people actually said
And about three years later, at about 26, 27, I actually risked a quarter million trying to make half a million and I lose it all. So by the time I'm 27-ish, I'm flat broke, had to move back home to the neighborhood with drugs, gangs, bars on the window and really reset. But that's where this whole new Jason Brown was born.
They get a little bit of success, but they don't really know what they're doing until they've been through a upmarket, downmarket, and a sideways market, tariffs, COVID, all that. They're kidding. Talking with Jason Brown, he is a stock market expert, options trader and author of five year millionaire.
Yeah, right now it's Alex Morton mindset on Instagram, Alex Morton mindset on YouTube, and our brand new website should be up in the next 90 days. In my second book, my second book also will be out in the next four to six months. My first book was dorm room to millionaire.
I'll just say this. You'd hit my radar a little bit. But the people that I really trust, that I really like, you need to talk to Alex Morton.
