The Inspiring Story of Lauren Simmons, the Youngest Female NYSE Trader

We loved this conversation with Lauren Simmons, who is a trailblazer and inspiration as she was the youngest female trader in the history of the NY Stock Exchange. This episode appeared in the Equity Mates feed, but we wanted more people to hear it, so we've put it in the Get Started Investing Feed as well! Together they have a conversation about hype investing, the dangers of crypto, trends she's heard and noticed in fellow millennials who invest, and her new venture as the host of Going Public. At 22 years old, Lauren Simmons shattered glass ceilings by becoming the youngest, and only full-time, female equity trader on Wall Street, as well as the second African American woman in 226 years.
