An evening in Chicago with Teri Ijeoma and Minda Harts,
a stop on the national tour for The Risk Worth Taking
live at Gleacher Center.
This is the night you stop wondering how investing works and finally learn to do it yourself. You'll walk in curious and walk out ready to trade. Teri will show you how to buy your first share of the S&P 500, how to protect your money using stop losses, and how to start reading stock charts so you know the best times to buy and sell. You'll leave with real skills you can use the very next day, the confidence to put your money to work, and the story that proves it's possible for you too. A starter course like this usually runs $997 to $5,000. Your ticket to learn the frameworks live starts at just $149, and once your city sells out, that's it.

Gleacher Center, where the river meets Michigan Avenue.
The Chicago stop is set inside Gleacher Center, the University of Chicago Booth School's glass home on the north bank of the Chicago River. Designed by Dirk Lohan, grandson of Mies van der Rohe, it rises six stories of stone and glass with the city and the water on full display. It is where Chicago comes to do serious work, and for one night, to dream a little bigger.
Inside, a bright, modern room keeps the evening close and the focus on the stage. Steps from the Magnificent Mile, easy to reach and hard to forget.
The Chicago stop of The Risk Worth Taking Book Tour brings the full experience to the city. Every minute is shaped around the book — its teaching, its testimony, its turning points.
This isn't a panel you sit back and watch. It's the night you take your first trade. You'll learn how to buy a share, protect your money, and read a chart, get a live conversation you can ask your own questions in, and leave with the book in hand. Real skills, real confidence, and the belief that you can build the life you actually want. A course like this usually costs thousands — your seat starts at $149. Don't wait, these rooms are intimate and they fill fast.
Doors open at 6:00 PM.
