In his early twenties, Lloyd's financial journey took a pivotal turn when he immersed himself in "The Snowball," an in-depth biography about Warren Buffett—one of the world's most successful investors. By age 25, Lloyd made his initial foray into the stock market, and by the age of 37, he accomplished his first significant financial milestone, amassing a Million-dollar portfolio without relying on debt.

Inspired by the transformative impact of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," Lloyd, along with his wife and older sister, ventured into a lucrative side hustle. Together, they share their knowledge, teaching others how to cultivate their Money Tree. Within a few months of reaching his initial goal, the side hustle evolved into a thriving venture, generating seven figures in revenue. Now, Lloyd is set to embark on creating another Million Dollar business.
