Episode 270: Empowering Communities through Investing, with Kevin Davis

KEVIN DAVIS, a native of Brooklyn, New York, spent much of his childhood reciting original poems and rhymes, influenced by the hip hop craze like any other inner-city child in the 80’s. In 1989, he was signed as a rapper to Warner’s Brothers Records. At the age of 23, he had his first hit record called, “Stomp” and toured the world for five years. He became a stockbroker in 1995, inspired by the Eddie Murphy movie, “Trading Places,” when the music career fizzled out. This led him into the jaws of the infamous firm Stratton Oakmont, featured in “Wolf of Wall Street” and after a short two years, in a boiler room shop. He was recruited by major wire house firms and ended up working in a small research shop. It was this experience, 25 years later, that led to the development of Investment Dojo, the World’s first social trading competition application. After approximately three years in the making, the application finally launched April 13th 2024. The app effectively gamifies the stock market. The initial feedback is that it’s fun, exhilarating, and more importantly, wildly educational.
