  • School’s in Session for Millennial Investors at MoneyShow University Conference

    Equities.com

    By the end of the conference, it was clear that MoneyShow University has the potential to be on every college campus and to empower hundreds of thousands of students who might never get the chance to learn about financial literacy from industry experts. Again, referencing what Sosnoff mentioned in his speech, Berger sees risk as the main issue to millennial investors.

    By the end of the conference, it was clear that MoneyShow University has the potential to be on every college campus and to empower hundreds of thousands of students who might never get the chance to learn about financial literacy from industry experts. Again, referencing what Sosnoff mentioned in his speech, Berger sees risk as the main issue to millennial investors. This issue is important to Berger and the other presenters because millennial investors are becoming entrepreneurs at a slow pace. Berger believes that young people must be able to take risks. But to do so effectively, they first need to understand what that really means, and the potential rewards that come with it. That’s exactly what MoneyShow University aims to help them do.

  • Millennials and Boomers Can Learn From Each Other: I Did

    The Huffington Post

    Jordan, a born entrepreneur, was excited about the MoneyShow bringing together the experts and the investors, but he was concerned that they were, "preaching to the choir." He saw a need to get young people involved in investing, not only via education, but via low-cost ways to really invest. I found that together, as Boomer and Millennial, we became a very strong team. The key was to mutually banish our stereotypes and really listen and learn from each other.

  • You Invented What?

    Biz 941

    BILLIONS ARE BEING MADE in the medical and recreational marijuana industry, and investors want in. But since marijuana businesses involve a federally illegal product, major investment houses won’t touch them. For two young entrepreneurs, it’s a void too big to ignore.

    Last March, Jordan Berger, 21, and Michael Berger, 25, (no relation) formed Technical420—with the irresistible tagline, “Buy Low, Sell High”—to advise investors about publicly traded marijuana-based companies. They launched…

    BILLIONS ARE BEING MADE in the medical and recreational marijuana industry, and investors want in. But since marijuana businesses involve a federally illegal product, major investment houses won’t touch them. For two young entrepreneurs, it’s a void too big to ignore.

    Last March, Jordan Berger, 21, and Michael Berger, 25, (no relation) formed Technical420—with the irresistible tagline, “Buy Low, Sell High”—to advise investors about publicly traded marijuana-based companies. They launched a website in July, and a thousand people signed up in just six weeks.

  • The Steak And The Sizzle Of Entrepreneurship: How Baby Boomers And Millennials Can Get Together

    Forbes

    I admit that I fell into this paradigm trap until I met Jordan Berger, the quintessential Millennial entrepreneur. Why did Jordan and I come together to “mentor” each other? Because we are both entrepreneurs, who share a passion for empowering today’s youth to not only learn about investing for their own future, but to have access to real financial tools that will make that happen. We were also both eager to check our biases at the door and really listen to each other.
