About Blue Mango

Blue Mango started from a place most people can relate to — struggle. Back in college, I was just trying to figure out how to pay tuition and make sense of the world. Somewhere between late nights in the library and early morning coffee runs, I stumbled onto something that changed my life: the stock market. Not because I had money to invest, but because I wanted to understand how money worked, and why some people always seemed to get ahead while others kept falling behind.

When the 2008 financial crisis hit, everything around me felt uncertain. But instead of turning away from the chaos, I leaned in. I studied every headline, every pattern, every lesson in what not to do. It was brutal, but it taught me how markets — and people — really behave when things fall apart.

Over time, those lessons turned into wins. I started building a portfolio that balanced risk and reward, mixing new tech with solid old-school investments. I didn’t do it to “get rich.” I did it because I wanted freedom, and I wanted to help other people find that too.

That’s how Blue Mango Investing was born. It’s not a Wall Street newsletter. It’s a community, one built around clarity, curiosity, and the belief that everyone deserves a shot at financial independence. Today, over 10,000 readers learn right alongside me, not from some distant pedestal, but from real-world experience, trial and error, and a genuine love for growth, financial and personal.

If there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: you don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to start.
