Hey, it's Rachel Cook, your modern mentor. And today, I'm really excited to bring you this interview

of Wall Street and how it's always been portrayed on the screen and just in books and everything

you see has always been told the same way. And I said there's something different

that happened on Wall Street for myself and my experience. And I wanted to share that information

with people because I feel like this has been kind of, you know, the last couple of tough years for

some people. And I wanted people to still feel that there was some hope and that there is, you know, strength if you continue
