Open Up - Guest: Jeremy Hall
Jeremy Hall grew up in a village of 400 people in Ontario, Canada, where poverty wasn't a concept — it was a lived reality. After his parents divorced when he was eight, Jeremy found himself huddled with his siblings on a mattress on a cold winter night with the heat and electricity shut off. That moment lit a fire in him that never went out. By 14 he was paying his family's rent. By 21 he was a profitable trader. By 25 he had achieved full financial independence.
But the real turning point came later — when his father, his best friend and Superman, was diagnosed with multiple myeloma and passed away within 90 days. Trading gave Jeremy the freedom to be there every single day. The grief that followed pushed him into a deep depression, and the only thing that pulled him out was purpose. He built the Trading Hall — a platform designed to simplify what took him three painful years to figure out — and hasn't looked back since.
In this episode, Jeremy unpacks the emotional side of trading, the discipline it demands, and why success in markets mirrors success in every area of life. He speaks openly about failure, depression, fatherhood, homeschooling, faith, and a new venture into the world of gray area peptides. Raw, honest, and full of practical wisdom.
