Thank you for visiting my page! If you’ve come this far, let me provide some transparency on who I am…
My name is Chris Vaughan and I live in New York City. Long before I worked in the financial markets, I grew up in South Jersey, about 20 minutes from Philadelphia, and was raised by a single mother. She worked incredibly hard to provide for me and my sister, and while it wasn’t always easy for us, my upbringing provided me perspective on how access to resources can impact a person’s life.
After losing my father (Chris Vaughan Sr.) as a teenager, this perspective was given new meaning and increasingly underpinned my motivations - I wanted to understand how resources are allocated (i.e. economics) and how this impacts our society more broadly. With this interest, I went to college, studied finance and information science, and managed to land a job on Wall Street.
During my time working directly in the financial markets, I:
Sold Fixed Income Securities (picture a trading floor)
Lead Solutions Architecture Initiatives (problem-solving was literally my job)
Worked on Multinational Data Systems (using certifications across AI, blockchain, and cloud-related concepts)
Formally Taught Economics and Tech to Dozens (in both academic and professional contexts)
My time on Wall Street was successful in fulfilling the reason I went to it in the first place - I have garnered insights as to why our society operates the way it does, and I want to put those insights to use. How do I plan to do this? Read below.
I seek to use whatever professional and lived experience I have to help process the flood of events we face each and every day. Via my media platform and Wall Street Radical (my daily livestream where I discuss life/politics/economics) I hope to shift our society’s attitudes, and, in doing so, change society itself.
Why is this necessary?
Our Discourse is Broken: Consider the following… you exist in a world which has experienced decades of Cold War hysteria… do you believe that this has had no significant impact on our ability to constructively discuss our society? Our conversation on economics and politics is in the gutter, and I’m sick of it.
Similar Perspectives Are Inaccessible: Those with professional backgrounds similar to my own are often obligated to use their expertise only in the scope of their employment. I suffer no such obligation.
Incentives Matter: I have no shareholders. I am not legally bound to a profit motive. The change I hope to affect is predicated upon my ability to reshape perspectives, capture public interest, and organize a community around it.
We Can Do So Much Better: You are not crazy - material conditions are worsening. The cause of this is not DEI, or trans people, or immigrants, as many would have you believe - the operative cause is the way our resources are allocated.
Basically, I could never shut up about the issues above, so I’ve decided to make a career out of it.
And I am just getting started.
I can’t do this alone… none of us can. If you would like to help advance my work, here is what I need:
Content Collabs & Partnerships: Contact me for projects, collabs, co-streaming, literary agency, production/editting work, advisement, or for speaking engagements. Aside from political-economic commentary, I am particularly open to content related to fitness, fashion, and travel.
Expertise & Feedback: There’s a lot cookin and I’m only one person. Feel free to reach out if you believe your perspective or work could be of use!
Financial Contributions: I need to make this work sustainable… Twitch subscriptions, streaming gifts, and BuyMeACoffee donations make the largest impact. If you cannot support financially, please follow, subscribe, and interact with my content!
Thank you for your time and support.
Now let’s do this thing.
All The Best,
CV
