Participant Voices
- "The teachers candidly shared their personal experiences and thoughts, which provided a different kind of interest and learning compared to regular lectures."
- "What stood out most to me was the dialogue between Lion Nii-san and Ms. Anri Sugihara. By speaking openly not only about their successes but also about actual experiences of loss, it became a valuable lesson in facing the 'reality' of investing, making it highly worthwhile content."
- "There were still many details I couldn't fully understand, but hearing the real experiences of the speakers inspired me to train myself more so that I can invest without fearing failure."
