He's another original Kee to Success "grad" - one of the students I made this podcast for when I was teaching online during the pandemic. I have never met him but he arrived in Canada from the Philippines less than 10 years ago, got with the wrong crowd and had a 60% average in Grade 10. He listened to the podcast, took notes, applied that knowledge and now works at Meta in his last co-op term and is about to graduate from the University of Waterloo with a Computer Engineering degree. On top of that, the podcast inspired him to start investing and he has a 7 figure portfolio after only 4 years! In this Part 1, we get into what happened in high school and how he he turned it around to become successful. Part 2 we will discuss how he used the podcast to start investing and more!
