Early Life
Swaggy was born on February 17th, 1995 in Bridgeport, CT. Due to his family not having enough money growing up and always moving from place to place, Swaggy went to 17 schools between Grades 1 through 8; moving back and forth between Bridgeport/Stamford, CT and Greenville, NC. On top of this, Swaggy and his family were homeless 3x: 2 times in a shelter, and once sleeping in a car. So much so that his 8th grade school started a fund for his family, which embarrassed him, and initially started his life mission on “understand the concept of money and never having to worry about it.”
At 18 years old, a man who was driving in Philly, stopped in the middle of traffic and got out his car and told Swaggy that he’d be a multi-millionaire in the next decade, and if he doesn’t, it’s his fault and his fault only. That was the first step to Swaggy realizing that playing College Basketball is cool and all, but it is not a long term plan for money.
At 19, Swaggy discovered a variety of mentors that has helped shape his life to what it is today. He also started to become an avid reader in business books which brought trading into his life. After making $2,000 in a single day in 2016, Swaggy decided to drop out of college and focus full-time on entrepreneurship. ... show more
