Jack Alumbia is a full-time MBA student at an accredited business school in New York. During the pandemic, he turned 6,000 bucks into something like 400,000 trading in SPACs and other instruments. He then lost a bunch of money and decided to have his first existential crisis by traveling around the world for more than a year. "I'm going to do my elevator pitch on me in like 30 seconds," says Alumbia.
