EP038 Investor Spotlight Part 1

Mark, Quintin, and Mounir – three young millionaires-in-the-making – are young investors building their wealth and striving to achieve financial fitness. Mark is a 25-year-old investor focused on building his long-term wealth by making small investments early and reaping the rewards of compound interest. Quintin is a 20-year-old university student who is making his money work for him by investing a portion of his bi-weekly paychecks into the cannabis industry. Mounir, a 25-year-old investor who began his journey into investing while attending university, strives for financial fitness by diversifying his portfolio.

Mark, Quintin, and Mounir join me today to share their experience as young investors. They share what inspired and motivated them to begin investing, the lessons they have learned throughout their journey, and the strategies they use to build their wealth and their portfolios. They also share why they believe starting your journey into investing early is one of the best decisions a young millionaire-in-the-making can make and how investing has impacted their lives as well as debunk common misconceptions regarding young adults getting started with building their portfolio.
