Successful Investor and Avid Educator, The Story of Simon Lerner
Learning how to trade stocks effectively is a hard task. For Simon Lerner, it took about 18 months to get to a consistent point where his winnings were larger than his losings. Now, he has made multiple seven figures by trading on the stock market. However, before all his success, he was on the path to becoming an engineer. While attending college, he found his engineering classes to be less than interesting. So, he switched his major to Business.
In the side, he was listening to business podcasts, learning how to trade in the stock market, and experimenting with various side hustles. He soon realized that he was learning more on his own and from the podcasts that he was listening to, than from his college classes.
After having a conversation with his economics professor, he decided to drop out of college. The conversation was about stocks. Simon had asked his professor for investing advice only to find that his professor doesn’t invest in stocks because his wife thinks it is a form of gambling. Simon realized that he was learning from someone without experience in the stock market, who has never started a business before, and who only makes $50,000 a year.
So, he dropped out of college, but he still decided to pursue an education—the unconventional way. He spent his money on tutors, books, events, seminars, and anything else that he found to be helpful. As he learned more and more, he applied what he learned to the stock market. Unfortunately, he lost around $15,000 in the stock market. But, as any entrepreneur knows, failure is a necessary step to success. After about 18 months of work, Simon had gotten to the point where his investing and trading began to be profitable.
He soon made over 7 figures in the stock market and decided to start a business—NetCon—to teach others how to do the same. NetCon brings in world-class speakers to share their business expertise at in-person events. NetCon also runs an online trading community where they provide educational resources for those aspiring to learn how to trade the stock market.
Unlike other trading communities, Simon realized the many problems in just having people copy the trades of another. So, instead, NetCon follows the old adage: “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” In other words, NetCon teaches its trading community how to trade, not what to trade. As a result, users gain valuable skills that can help them become financially independent.
Over the next few years, Simon hopes to continue educating others on the topics of stocks, real estate, and everything surrounding financial literacy. The end goal being to “help people reduce their learning curve.” One of the more important points we can learn from Simon Lerner’s journey is that it is important to only take advice from people who already have, or have already achieved what you desire to accomplish.
Simon explains: “If you went to the gym, would you take advice from a person who is 300lb overweight on how to get a six-pack? No. In theory, the person may know what needs to be done to obtain a six-pack, but he has never had one. He is not a practitioner and therefore I would not take advice from him. The same applies to other areas of life—business, relationships, etc.”

Motivated by her deep love for cooking, her family, and the infectious joy she brings to people’s faces through her delicious creations, Brooke’s journey is as inspiring as it is heartwarming.
The spark that ignited Brookies Kitchen was Brooke’s unwavering dedication to her kids and her family.

Drawing inspiration from her grandmothers, KC and Christina, Brooke honed her culinary skills and developed a unique flair for creating mouthwatering dishes that not only delighted the taste buds but also warmed the heart. Her kitchen became a sanctuary of love and creativity, where she poured her soul into every recipe, infusing them with the love and care that only a devoted mother could provide.
For Brooke, nothing compares to the joy of cooking and sharing her creations with her family, friends, and even her children’s friends. The smiles that light up the faces of those who taste her food are a testament to the passion and dedication she pours into every dish. It is this joy, this connection with others through food, that drives Brooke to continue pursuing her culinary dreams despite the challenges she faces.
Brookies Kitchen is not just a business venture for Brooke; it is a labor of love, a testament to the power of family, and a celebration of the simple joys that come from sharing a delicious meal with those we hold dear. As Brooke continues to grow her company and share her culinary gifts with the world, she remains rooted in the values of love, family, and the transformative power of a home-cooked meal.
In a world filled with challenges and uncertainties, Brooke Sandoval and Brookies Kitchen stand as a shining example of resilience, love, and the enduring power of food to bring people together. With every dish she creates, Brooke is not just feeding stomachs; she is nourishing souls and spreading joy one bite at a time.

The Foundational Steps of Divine Wisdom and Purpose By: Ladaro (Monsta Yo) Pennix II and Colin Randolph
This project originally started as an examination of our past, aiming to expose our mistakes and explore our transformation over time. Monsta Yo and I wanted to compare how we had evolved from a regretful period to where we are now. However, delving into our painful memories from decades of incarceration revealed disturbing and disheartening experiences. We realized how deeply we had been involved in destructive behaviors towards others and ourselves, driven by violence, hatred, and fury. Our lives had been shaped by a system that perpetuated hatred and violence, leaving us unable to understand why we behaved the way we did.
Reflecting on our past proved to be emotionally draining, prompting us to shift our focus towards exploring the factors that shaped us into the men we are today. Monsta Yo suggested concentrating on our foundational beliefs, leading to the creation of “The Foundational Steps of Divine Purpose and Wisdom.” We found that scripture had a profound impact on our lives and decided to center our project around its teachings.
I gathered scriptures that had influenced me significantly and discussed their practical applications, especially for those who are incarcerated. Monsta Yo, with his theological expertise, provided insights into the power and wisdom of these scriptures, enriching our reflections. Together, we brought passion, perspective, and purpose to each discussion, resulting in the title “The Foundational Steps of Divine Wisdom and Purpose.”
Through this project, we realized that examining our past was not just about acknowledging our mistakes but understanding the journey of our transformation. Our painful memories laid the foundation for our growth, highlighted through our reflections on scripture’s wisdom and purpose. This project evolved into a testament to our faith and the transformative power of scripture.
Monsta Yo’s theological insights complemented my reflections, offering a deeper understanding of the scriptures’ impact. By blending personal experiences with theological wisdom, we created a compelling exploration of the Divine wisdom and purpose found in scriptures.
