Social Storm LLC

Economic Education. Youth Empowerment. Generational Impact.

Social Storm LLC is a Chicago-based media and education enterprise founded by 22-year-old entrepreneur Corey Phillips, dedicated to preparing the next generation for financial independence, economic leadership, and modern opportunity.

We translate complex systems — money, ownership, technology, and decision-making — into practical education that young people can understand, apply, and build from immediately.

Our mission is simple:

Close the wealth gap by increasing economic understanding, ownership thinking, and access to opportunity.

We serve youth and young adults across Chicago’s South and West Sides and nationwide through workshops, media, and community-driven programming that is culturally relevant, peer-led, and built for real-world impact.

Why It Matters

We don’t just teach money.

We teach how the modern economy works — and how young people can build power inside it.

The goal isn’t short-term motivation.

The goal is generational transformation.

One workshop.

One program.

One leader at a time.
