My name’s Josh. I started investing over a decade ago after financial advisors turned me away because I didn’t have hundreds of thousands to invest. Instead of giving up, I took things into my own hands by reading every book I could find, graduating from the W.P. Carey School of Business, and spending the last 10+ years learning, investing, and refining my approach. I know how confusing the stock market can feel when you're just getting started.
