Investing Mastermind · $995 every 6 months

Your teen will graduate knowing algebra but not how to manage money.

A six-month program that builds your teen into an investor: real judgment, patience, and a decision framework, from paper trading to a first real portfolio they can explain to you. You buy the structure. Your teen does the work.

The teen Diagnostic, Roadmap, and a 1-on-1 with Jay come with every enrollment as the onboarding step, before the biweekly masterminds begin.

The problem it solves

The account is easy. The judgment is not.

Your teen can open a brokerage account from their phone in about four minutes. That is exactly the problem.

The account is easy. The judgment is not. A teen with a trading app and no framework is not an investor, they are a gambler with a clean interface, and the market will teach them expensive lessons on its own schedule. I watched a dad set up an investing app for his teenager and feel like he had cracked the code. A few weeks later his daughter asked for another $250 pair of shoes. The app was never the answer. The identity behind it was.

If your teen is going to earn money, or inherit it, or both, the question is not whether they will have access to markets. They will. The question is whether they will have the judgment to not get taken by them. You built the assets. This is about building an heir who can handle them.

The six-month arc

Investor identity first, portfolio second.

Here is the shape of the six months. Your teen moves through it on the roadmap, with the masterminds and my coaching keeping the pace.

  1. 01Investor identity and judgment first.Before a single real dollar, your teen learns to think like an investor instead of a spender, to ask what the downside is before the upside, every time.
  2. 02Paper trading to build the reps.They practice with a real framework and no real risk, so the mistakes happen where mistakes are free and the habits form before the stakes are real.
  3. 03Patience and downside-first thinking.The whole discipline: weigh what happens if it does not work before getting excited about what happens if it does. This is the muscle almost no adult built, and it is easiest to build young.
  4. 04A first real portfolio, with a framework they can defend.By the end, your teen has a first real portfolio and, more importantly, a decision framework they can explain to you out loud. If they can explain why they own it, they own it as an investor. If they can’t, they were guessing.

The portfolio matters. The framework matters more. Markets change; the judgment to read them is what carries.

Why I built this

I spent 20 years building businesses and was financially illiterate for most of my career. I learned this the hard way at 38. I’m a father of two, and I built the program I wish someone had run for my own kids.Jay Bhakta

How it works

You buy it. Your teen does the work.

That split is the whole point.

A 65-second walkthrough from Jay, with captions.

Read the transcript

Hi, I’m Jay. If you’re considering the Investing Mastermind, here’s exactly what happens after you enroll. It starts the day you join. First, you set up your teen’s private link, and they complete their Investor Profile and Roadmap. That shows how they actually behave around risk and hype, before a single real dollar. Then your teen books a one-on-one call with me to set their first thirty days. From there, it’s six months of real work. Paper trading comes first: practice with fake money and real decisions, so the mistakes happen where mistakes are free. Every two weeks, your teen joins a small live group mastermind, reports what they tried, and gets coached. Between calls, they build a watchlist and a plan they can explain to you out loud. By the end, your teen has a first real portfolio and, more importantly, a decision framework they can defend. If they can explain why they own something, they own it as an investor. If they can’t, they were guessing. One thing I’ll always be straight about: this is education, not investment advice. No stock picks, no promises, and a parent in the loop the whole way. That’s the program. Come build the judgment with us.

Day 0 · You enroll
Rolling, no cohort to wait for

Enrollment is individual. No cohort date, no waitlist. Your teen starts onboarding the same day.

Onboarding · before the first call
Diagnostic, Roadmap, and a 1-on-1 with Jay

You set up your teen’s private link. They complete the Teen Diagnostic and Roadmap, a System Map built for them, then book a 1-on-1 with me to walk it through and set the first moves.

The six months · a live call every two weeks
Biweekly group masterminds and coaching

Your teen works the roadmap step by step, paper trading first before any real money. Every two weeks, a small live room: they report what they tried, get coached on what is stuck, and see other teens their age moving. I coach on the calls directly.

Month 3 · feedback call
A halfway check

We name what is working, fix what is stuck, and adjust the roadmap for the second half.

Month 6 · wrap-up
Look at what they built, set what is next

A final call to look at the portfolio and the framework your teen can explain, name the growth, and decide what comes next.

What you see the whole timeA teen-approved summary, on their terms. You protect the call times and support the work without taking it over. The room does the coaching.

This is a six-month build, not a webinar you watch once. The teens who get the most out of it are the ones who show up to the calls and do the steps between them.

What every enrollment includes

Everything that makes it a real build.

Included with every enrollment
  • The structured roadmap your teen works through over the six months, the spine of the program.
  • The onboarding Teen Diagnostic and Roadmap, a System Map built for your teen, completed first, so the work starts from who they actually are.
  • The onboarding 1-on-1 call with me to walk the roadmap and set the first moves.
  • Biweekly live group mastermind calls for the full six months, a small room, real reporting, direct coaching.
  • My coaching on the calls and inside the program as your teen works.
  • A teen-approved parent summary, you see what your teen chose to share, on their terms.
  • The $97 credit, if you already bought the matching $97 kit, that $97 comes off this.
Fit

Who this is for, and who it isn’t.

It’s for you if
  • You have a capable teen, roughly 13 to 18, who is bright on paper and stalled in practice.
  • You would rather your teen build judgment now, with a coach and a room, than learn it the hard way at 38 the way I did.
  • You are ready to buy the structure and let your teen own the work, not do it for them.
  • You want a real six-month build, not a one-time class your teen forgets by spring.
It’s not for you if
  • ×You want a done-for-you result where your teen stays on the sidelines. The teen does the work. If they will not show up, this is not the fit.
  • ×You are looking for a quick weekend fix. This is six months on purpose.
  • ×You want stock tips, guaranteed returns, or a shortcut. That is not what this is, and I would rather tell you now.
  • ×Your teen is in genuine crisis and needs clinical help. This is a money-and-momentum program, not therapy or treatment. Get them the right support first.
The parent’s role

Buy the structure. Then get out of the way.

Your job is to buy the structure and then get out of the way enough for your teen to own it. Set up the link. Protect the time for the calls. Ask how it is going without taking over. The work is theirs.

Here is how the private part works, and it does not change:

Your teen sees the result first. Nothing personal is sent to you unless they approve it. You don’t receive raw answers or hidden items. You receive a teen-approved summary of what matters to them, what they’re already showing, one skill they’re ready to build, and one practical way to support them.

That is deliberate. A teen who knows the readout goes straight to a parent edits themselves. A teen who knows it is theirs first tells the truth. You get the truth, filtered through what your teen chose to share, which is the version that actually helps you support them.

Price and credit

$995 every six months.

That covers everything above: the roadmap, the onboarding diagnostic and 1-on-1, six months of biweekly live masterminds, and my coaching. Your enrollment renews at $995 every six months so your teen can keep going, and you can cancel anytime.

If your teen already bought the matching $97 kit, that $97 credits toward the $995. The kit is the front porch; this is the house. You do not pay for the porch twice.

One honest note on price: as more teens finish this and the proof stacks up, the price goes up. That is not a countdown gimmick, I am not running a fake timer. It is just the plain truth that this costs less now, early, than it will later.

Guarantee

I’d rather earn it than hold your money.

If your teen completes the onboarding, shows up to the first two masterminds, and works the first roadmap steps, and you still feel it wasn’t worth it, email me at jay@outsmartthesystem.org within 30 days and I’ll refund you. I’d rather earn it than hold your money.

Questions

Straight answers.

Is my teen too young or too old for this?

It’s built for roughly 13 to 18. Younger than that and the group calls tend to go over their head; older and they are usually already out the door. If your teen is right at the edge, email me at jay@outsmartthesystem.org and I’ll tell you honestly whether it fits.

What if my teen loses interest halfway through?

That is exactly what the biweekly rhythm and the group are for. Most teens do not quit for lack of ideas, they drift when nobody is checking in. A small room of peers doing the same work, every two weeks, is the thing that keeps a teen going when motivation dips. It will not force a teen who refuses to show up. It will carry a teen who wants to and wobbles.

Is this a group program or 1-on-1?

Both, on purpose. Every enrollment includes a 1-on-1 onboarding call with me, and then the six months run on biweekly live group masterminds plus my coaching. The group is where teens see other kids their age moving, which does something a solo call cannot. Extra 1-on-1 time beyond onboarding is case by case, when a teen really needs it.

How much time does it take?

Two live mastermind calls a month, plus the roadmap steps your teen works in between. It is designed to fit around school, not compete with it. The teens who get the most out of it protect the call times and do the steps.

Is this therapy?

No. This is a money-and-momentum program, not therapy, mental-health treatment, or a clinical assessment. It builds judgment, follow-through, and real skill with money. If your teen needs clinical support, please get that first, this is not a substitute for it.

What’s the difference between this and the $97 kit?

The $97 kit is a self-guided starter, a roadmap, a resource kit, and a single kickoff. This is the deep version: the same starting point, plus six months of live group masterminds, my ongoing coaching, and a roadmap your teen actually works to a real result with a room behind them. The kit shows the door. This walks them through it. And the $97 credits toward the $995.

What if I want a refund?

See the guarantee above: if your teen completes the onboarding, attends the first two masterminds, and works the first roadmap steps and you still feel it wasn’t worth it, email within 30 days for a full refund.

Do I have to be on the calls too?

No. The masterminds are your teen’s room. Your role is to protect the time and support the work. You get the teen-approved summary; your teen gets the coaching.
