Meet your instructor
Steve Ballinger, MBA
My passion for investing in the stock market turned into financial independence at a very early age. So I said goodbye to my 6-figure job and now spend more time with my family and travel the world. Friends said, "You should teach this to others" and so I did by creating self-paced courses on Udemy.
Then something unexpected happened. Students took my courses. Lots of them. Now have 488.000 students from over 200 countries. More importantly, the stories of transformation for these students is amazing. Many students wanted me to teach a live course that has more interaction where I could work directly with them. Makes perfect sense and I love interreacting with students in a live cohort. So much energy and fun. Thus, I am excited to be here on Maven. Just click that enroll button and let's get together!
