Hey Money Gamers,

Do you ever wish you were better at playing the money game? Do you want to stack the odds in your favor?

Then you've come to the right place!

My name is Dion Pouncil, Founder of MoneySkool, and I'm here to help you learn how to play and dominate the money game.

Truth be told…

Anyone can trade, anyone can invest, and anyone can play the money game. But not everyone can win.

Although I grew up in a rough environment as a South Side Chicago kid, I'd say that I've come a long way. And I'm here to share that wealth of knowledge I gained through these years with those who are brave enough to play the game.

The Money Game podcast is for anyone who…

- desires to learn the tools and strategies to succeed in the financial and business world

- didn't come from wealth or some fancy school, but want to redesign their lives

- wants to build the right mindset and attitude to outplay and win the game

So, in today's new episode of Money Game, I'll talk about…

- my life growing up on the South Side of Chicago in a single-parent family

- how playing professional baseball helped me acquire valuable skills

- my entrepreneurial journey and how I became a Hedge Fund Manager

- practical takeaways that you can apply to succeed

Make sure to tune in to this episode, be inspired, and take action in designing the lifestyle that you want.

Let's dive in!
