Jason Stapleton

His story began just a few hours after graduating high school, that’s when Jason left home to join the United States Marine Corps. During his time in the service, Jason traveled the world as a distinguished member of one of America’s most elite special operations units, known as Marine Force Reconnaissance. After his time in the Marine Corps, and during the height of the War on Terror, Jason found his distinctive skill set to be in high demand in the combat zones of Iraq and Afghanistan. For a number of years, Jason worked for one of the largest private security firms in the world, where he serviced contracts for the State Department and protected some of the world’s most powerful diplomats as they traveled through the war-torn countries.

During his time overseas, Jason developed another rare skill as a successful foreign exchange currency trader. Ultimately, Jason’s success in trading attracted international recognition and resulted in him leaving the private security business to start what is now considered one of the premier trading education firms in the world. Since its founding in 2009, Jason’s company, TradeEmpowered, has benefited millions of people from over 110 countries through training and education in the financial industry.

Whether conducting counter-terrorism operations in the streets of Iraq, or starting a premier trading education firm from a tent in Afghanistan, it is safe to say that Jason has experienced more in the last decade than most will experience in a lifetime. Jason’s experiences have provided an unfiltered perspective of how the often murky realms of war, foreign policy, politics, economics, and the financial markets really operate and how they affect the common man. Combine that knowledge with a gift for speaking, an ability to explain complex topics in everyday terms, and a desire to empower others by spreading the truth about the events taking place in the world around them, and you end up with The Jason Stapleton Program.
