In Episode 14 of What Got You There we are joined by Tim Sykes. Tim is a penny stock trader, entrepreneur and author who is best known for taking his $12,415 bar mitzvah gift money and turned it into $1.65 million by the time he turned 21. Sykes is dedicated to creating other multimillionaire investors through the company he cofounded in 2011, Profit.ly. Tim has created other millionaires through his guidance including his student Tim Grittani who took $1,500 and turned it into over $1 million in 3 years.
