    Kalshi co-founder and Chief Operating Officer Luana Lopes Lara talks about how her path — from growing up in Brazil and training in ballet to studying at MIT and working on Wall Street — shaped her discipline and her comfort with high-stakes bets. She opens up about the years she spent pushing through regulatory roadblocks to legalize Kalshi in the U.S., and how she and her co-founder set out to build something fundamentally different: a platform where people trade on real-world outcomes, not stocks.
