Sean Tepper is the founder and CEO of Tikr, a software platform empowering everyday people to confidently invest in individual stocks. Before launching Tikr,, Sean mastered a system for generating consistent 15–50% annual returns in the stock market—with some years surpassing 100%. Today, Tikr, serves over 12,000 customers in more than 50 countries, combining technology, smart design, and a value investor’s discipline to help regular investors outperform the S&P.

On this episode we talk about:

  • Sean’s journey from picking strawberries and playing real-time strategy games to building a career in marketing, starting an agency, and investing in stocks
  • The limitations of traditional education for creative and entrepreneurial thinkers—and how gaming taught Sean more about real-world strategy and multiple income streams than school ever could
  • How Sean transitioned from agency work to investing, then eventually built his own SaaS business without raising outside capital
  • The step-by-step process that took him from Excel spreadsheet to global SaaS platform, all while bootstrapping and keeping expenses lean
  • Why businesses (especially SaaS) are more scalable than real estate, and how stock investing in carefully chosen companies can outpace buy-and-hold real estate strategies
  • Sean’s approach to value investing, using Tikr, to find and monitor 10–15 high-potential stocks at a time, and switching to index funds for wealth preservation closer to retirement
  • The critical importance of confidence and education for first-time investors—and why most people lose money trading instead of investing
  • How Tikr, works (and doesn’t touch your money), using its own green–yellow–red rating system and push notifications to signal when to buy or sell

Top 3 Takeaways

  1. Start Where You Are, Then Leverage Up: Build skills and income with what you have—then invest in scalable businesses or stocks to create real wealth.
  2. Invest, Don’t Trade: 99% of traders lose money; all billionaire stock-market fortunes are built through long-term investing, not day trading.
  3. Confidence Beats Complexity: Knowledge, a clear process, and the right tools (like TKR) empower anyone—even beginners—to make smart investment decisions and outperform the averages.

Notable Quotes

  • “Video games actually taught me more about the real world and how to win at money than school ever did.”
  • “Businesses—and especially the right SaaS business—will scale astronomically higher than real estate.”
  • “The home run is people buying their first stock confidently. That is worth its weight in gold.”
