Jordan Burick
Financial Literacy Advocate
Personal Notes
Having grown up lower-income and first-generation, I’m driven by a passion to use the resources and knowledge gained as an Investment Banker and Private Equity Investor on Wall Street to benefit underserved communities. I first founded a nonprofit to break down socioeconomic barriers in finance—then began posting social media videos under the username “Leveraged Byclout”—making complex financial topics digestible for people of all backgrounds. Gaining over 30,000 dedicated followers in under a year, I soon earned significant support and recognition from the finance industry, academia, and the audience I serve through my nonprofit, public speaking events, and Board roles.
