You Do The Talking: Recent Episodes
Onsum & Lindsay Nelson
Lindsay Nelson and Onsum are two hyper-curious Canadian teenagers, always questioning the ways of politics, education, and world issues. Neither of them have earned an undergraduate degree or high school diploma (yet), but they refuse to have their opinions and questions go unheard in a world where the voices of youth are often drowned by the flood of policy-makers, educators, and politicians.
Join Lindsay and Onsum every Friday to dive into modern-day issues that have a massive impact on the way today's youth view our incredibly complex and frenetic world.
This week, Lindsay is joined by 17-year-old stock investor Landon Wickenberg. Listen in as Landon shares his research methods to find his most successful stocks and as we discuss cryptocurrencies, financial designations, and his future goals for investing.
