Mikey Taylor's journey to financial freedom started on a skateboard.
  • Mikey Taylor started his career as a professional skateboarder making barely enough money to get by.
  • A friend taught Taylor the basics of real-estate investing as he saved during his early career. 
  • He now runs a real-estate fund and educates investors on how to create a road to financial freedom.

Growing up in the 1990s, Mikey Taylor would ride his skateboard through the family-friendly streets of the Los Angeles suburb Thousand Oaks. He had no idea how far its wheels would take him.
