What happens when a corporate layoff becomes the catalyst for financial freedom? In this episode of Entrepreneurship Lab, I sit down with LaKiesha, Yale MBA, former aerospace executive, and founder of Profitable Trader's Academy. After being laid off from her senior leadership role, LaKiesha didn't panic - because she had already built a powerful income-generating skill through trading. She shares how she turned $20,000 into nearly $100,000 - twice - and how trading provided the financial security and confidence to navigate a major career transition on her own terms. Featured in Forbes and The Wall Street Journal, LaKiesha brings a practical, no-hype approach to building wealth through disciplined, rules-based trading.
