Ed Giron went from being the Captain of his wrestling team at Springfield College to trying to make a living in MMA and blue collar work. Not being satisfied with the daily grind and feeling like there was no room for growth, Ed started learning about financial management in his free time. He earned the necessary certifications and started working at a business that sold financial products like mutual funds. The more he learned about traditional finance, the more he realized he couldn't recommend what he was selling. Most investors were better off just parking their money in the S&P 500. Once he realized this, he left that job but did not stop learning about money. He went down the precious metals rabbit hole and realized how corrupt the fiat system is. Eventually he found Bitcoin and hasn't turned back.
