About Ctrl+Q

Hi, I’m Ian Qiu, a senior at Belmont High School in Massachusetts. Like many of you, I’ve been exploring my interests and contemplating my future career—especially which college to attend and what major to pursue. Over the past few years, I’ve developed a genuine passion for finance and economics—topics that initially felt a bit intimidating. However, with the right guidance, I’ve discovered just how exciting and relevant they are to our everyday lives.

I started this podcast series to share the insights I’ve gained through mentorship. Whether you're considering a future in finance or simply want to understand how investments can benefit you personally, I hope these episodes provide you with a clearer view of the finance world.
