One of the world's largest companies has made a quiet yet significant shift.

Walmart is moving its listing from the New York Stock Exchange to Nasdaq.

A company with more than $800 billion in market value. Listed on the NYSE since 1970. Now choosing a new home.

Moves like this are never about optics. They are about alignment.

Walmart cited shared values with Nasdaq. A technology-forward approach. Innovation. Client focus. These are not marketing lines. They reflect how the business is evolving.

The listing change adds another layer. It positions Walmart for inclusion in the Nasdaq 100. That means greater visibility and additional passive fund flow. It also reflects how much of Walmart’s future is tied to automation and artificial intelligence.

This is the largest exchange switch by market value in history. And yet the meaning is simple.

Exchanges compete on structure, technology, and alignment.

Companies choose the platform that matches where they are going, not where they have been.

Markets shift. Strategies evolve. Companies reposition.

What stays constant is the need for clarity, discipline, and the right environment to grow.

This is another reminder that listing decisions are strategic choices.

Host and Producer of #1 Education Podcast, Young and Profiting.

Pretty privilege IS real.

But it’s also a disadvantage.

I recently had a conversation with another girlboss babe, Emma Hernan, on Young and Profiting – and she totally agrees with me.

(Catch our full conversation here: https://yap.show/ehonyt)

The perks are pretty obvious…

But the curse?
 👉🏼 People underestimate you.
 👉🏼 Your success gets credited to who you “know.”
 👉🏼 Some women won’t take you seriously.
 👉🏼 Some men will, but for the wrong reasons. 🙄

Emma told me that in the beginning of her career, some people literally REFUSED to meet with her:
🗣️ “Too pretty to be serious.”
🗣️ “Why does she dress like that?”

I’ve been through that too.

It’s almost like people think the only thing you’re good for is looking good!

But here’s the TEA:

When people underestimate you based on your looks, it’s honestly a superpower. 💡

They don’t see you coming. They’re not prepared for your intelligence, your execution or your results.

And when you prove them wrong? It’s PRICELESS. 🔥

I didn’t build an 8-figure company because of how I look.

I built it because I can:
 ✅ Execute under pressure
 ✅ Deliver results
 ✅ Lead teams that perform
 ✅ Create value that lasts

Pretty privilege might open the door,

But only substance keeps you in the room. 💯

Because betting against pretty AND smart?

That's just stupid. 😉

Ever been underestimated because of how you look? Tell me about it 👇🏼
