Investing Will Never Be the Same w/ Robinhood’s Steph Guild #1205

Robinhood didn’t just join the investing revolution over the past decade… they reshaped it. Robinhood pushed investing toward zero commissions, brought millions of new investors into the market, and even introduced the first IRA match. They’ve been willing to innovate in ways that have sometimes been controversial. It’s a platform with enormous sway, especially among younger investors. But what does Robinhood think the future of investing looks like? What are they getting right, what might they be getting wrong, and what does the future look like for normie investors? Steph Guild is Robinhood’s Chief Investment Officer, and she’s here to help us answer those questions today. We get into:

• Customer feedback and how Robinhood innovates
• The democratization of investing and its limits
• Responsible investing and education to support it
• Gamification and entertainment of investing
• Prediction markets and market probabilities
• Long-term investing vs short-term trading
• Opportunities outside of passive investing
• AI and its role in business and healthcare
• Impact of AI on jobs and the economy
• And much more!
