In this episode of the Grownlearn Podcast, I speak with Sean Tepper — Founder & CEO of Tykr — about what it really takes to invest intelligently and build a scalable fintech company from scratch.

Sean started with a simple Excel-based stock rating model. Today, Tykr serves over 13,000 customers across 50+ countries and is raising a $1.3M seed round — after achieving strong product-market fit, improving conversion rates from 25% to 70%, and reducing churn below 5%.

We discuss:

• Where beginners should actually start with investing

• Investing vs trading — and why most people confuse the two

• The #1 mistake retail investors make

• How to avoid losing money in the stock market

• Why fundamentals still matter in a tokenized world

• How Tykr outperformed the S&P 500

• What real product-market fit looks like before raising capital

• SaaS subscription growth strategies that actually work

Sean also shares transparent performance data, marketing insights (including YouTube as a lead engine), and why open-source calculations helped build trust with both users and regulators.

If you're a founder, investor, SaaS builder, or simply someone who wants to make smarter long-term financial decisions — this episode delivers clarity.

Many high-income professionals do everything “right” — strong careers, disciplined saving, smart investments — and still feel financially stuck.

In this episode of the Grownlearn Podcast, I sit down with Lane Kawaoka, real estate syndicator, 3× Amazon best-selling author, and host of the Wealth Elevator Podcast, to talk honestly about why that happens — and what actually changes the trajectory.

Lane has participated in acquiring 10,000+ units totaling over $2.1B in real estate, working closely with engineers, physicians, and entrepreneurs who want passive, tax-efficient income without becoming landlords or chasing hype.

We go beyond surface-level real estate talk and focus on how capital really scales — where cash flow matters more than net worth, why single-family rentals often hit a ceiling, and how syndication, structure, and market selection change the outcome.

In this conversation, we cover:

Why high earners often feel trapped despite strong incomes

Why single-family rentals rarely lead to real financial freedom

How real estate syndication actually works (without the fluff)

How high earners legally reduce large tax bills

The Wealth Elevator framework: what to do at $100K, $1M, and $5M net worth

Why secondary and tertiary markets attract long-term capital

How to think about diversification across real estate, equities, and commodities

This episode is especially relevant for investors, founders, and executives who want clarity — not noise — around building durable wealth and sustainable cash flow.

In this episode of the Grownlearn Podcast, host Zorina Dimitrova speaks with Bryan Adams, CEO and founder of Happydance and a leading voice in employer branding, talent attraction, and candidate experience.

As AI tools like ChatGPT transform how candidates apply for jobs, organizations are facing a new challenge: too many applications, inflated credentials, and weaker cultural alignment. Bryan explains why traditional employer branding tactics are now backfiring and how leading companies are shifting from “attraction” to filtering, self-selection, and truth-based storytelling.

In this conversation, we explore:

How AI and LLMs are changing recruitment at scale

Why applicant volumes have exploded and what it breaks

The limits of ATS and AI screening from a legal and compliance perspective

How authentic storytelling helps candidates self-select out

Why employer branding is moving from marketing to executive strategy

How culture, leadership messaging, and transparency directly impact company value

This episode is essential for founders, executives, investors, and HR leaders who want to understand how talent strategy, culture, and technology influence long-term performance and valuation.

Practical tools to spot “loaded dice” in business, finance, and life

Andrea shares his groundbreaking approach to AI implementation, focusing not on the technology itself but on people, mindset, and ethics.

Why AI success depends on human soft skills — not just data and algorithms

How to create a culture of adaptability, empathy, and curiosity in business

The three pillars of skill transformation from Andrea’s upcoming book Between You and AI
