In the first episode of 2025 on Let’s Try This Again, B. Simone sits down with Wallstreet Trapper, a transformative figure in both financial education and personal growth. Known for his journey from New Orleans streets to becoming a successful entrepreneur, Trapper shared his emotional evolution and practical advice on financial freedom with listeners.
The conversation dives deep into Trapper’s early struggles, including the trauma he faced after witnessing his mother being shot at the age of 9 and his later time in prison. Despite these setbacks, Trapper has used his experiences as a catalyst for change. He explained how therapy has been pivotal in helping him reconnect with his authentic self, overcome past emotional pain, and develop empathy—a process that has shaped his professional life.
“Understanding your feelings and working on your emotional healing isn’t just about forgiving others, it’s about forgiving yourself,” Trapper said, reflecting on his personal journey.
But it isn’t just emotional growth that Trapper focuses on—he’s equally passionate about helping others achieve financial independence. With a firm belief in breaking free from financial trauma, he’s dedicated to teaching others how to make smart investments and create generational wealth. Trapper’s program has already produced six millionaires and countless six-figure earners, and his most recent venture, the Freedom Center, stands as a testament to his commitment to empowering others. Funded by a $1.2 million stock trade, the center will serve as a hub for financial literacy, education, and media.
A major part of his financial philosophy includes using the stock market as a tool of liberation, with an emphasis on building custodial accounts for children and fostering long-term financial strategies. His personal story of turning a $850,000 stock gain into a $5.5 million real estate investment shows just how powerful these lessons can be.
Trapper also opened up about his spiritual journey, revealing that despite his material success, he struggled with feelings of emptiness. His connection to spirituality, particularly his relationship with God and readings of Psalms, helped him find deeper meaning in life.
This story draws attention to Trapper’s message of personal and financial growth, blending his tough past with the empowering tools he now shares with others.
