Today on Financial Fitness, we’re talking with Joe Pak, founder of Tickup and creator of the PickSix stock-picking competition — an exciting, free investing challenge open to all U.S. college students. With a $50,000 grand prize on the line, it’s not just a game — it’s a gateway to real-world financial learning. Joe shares how his journey from a small town in Washington to a career on Wall Street inspired him to build tools that make investing more accessible and data-driven — especially for young adults who didn’t grow up with financial guidance.

Win $50,000 in a stock picking competition? The Money Doctor's guest, Joe Pak, CEO of TickUp, tells how you can download the app, compete for free and because it's virtual, you don't even have to use real money to buy the stocks you choose! College students (and soon everyone) can compete in this PickSix competition.
