Forrest Gump Inspired a Kid to Build Wealth?!
Jerremy Newsome was just 6 years old when he watched the movie “Forrest Gump” with his dad. Lt. Dan told Forrest one day that he had invested some of their profits in some kind of fruit company, and they wouldn’t need to worry about money anymore.
That prompted a curious boy to ask his dad, “What is investing?” Thinking that answering this one question would be enough, Jerremy’s dad explained investing in a way that worked. They struck a deal, a challenge in a sense, and a 6-year old Jerremy set out to build wealth that day.
He’s been working at it ever since, and shares his lessons learned with those who wish to walk out of the rut of financial struggle. Jerremy talks about wealth building on a level that goes beyond the technical aspects of stock market investing. We’ll talk about the millionaire mindset shifts that need to be in place before you can have that millionaire bank account.

Jerremy Newsome, Financial Mentor
In November 2014, Jerremy Alexander Newsome launched Real Life Trading, a company designed to make trading accessible to everyone. This starting point has allowed him to assist and enrich tens of thousands of lives while also growing the company organically to a seven-figure business.
Jerremy started his love for business and growth at the age of seven, after watching the movie Forrest Gump with his family. Do you remember the scene, where Forrest said, “Lt Dan invested in some fruit company and now we don’t have to worry about money anymore?”
Growing up dirt poor, the thought of never having to worry about money seemed appealing. He asked his father to explain investing and his father taught him about Apple Computers. He begged him to invest. Finally, his father agreed to match his deposit, dollar for dollar.
He saved $1,500 picking blackberries and selling them door to door. They bought $3,000 worth of AAPL shares back in 1995. To date, they would be worth $14,000,000.
