What’s The Tea, Amy?

Most people think they know Timothy Sykes...Fast money, big trades, Wolf of Wall Street energy.But what they don’t see is the other side of his story.Through his charity Karmagawa, Tim has helped build over 130 schools across 30+ countries, changing the lives of tens of thousands of children through education. And the way he talks about that impact is completely different to how most people in the finance world talk about success.Yes, he turned $12,000 into millions before graduating college. Yes, he lived the lifestyle people think they want. But he’s also the first to admit that left him feeling empty.And that’s where this conversation gets interesting.At a time where the internet is saturated with “get rich, don’t care, dominate everything” energy - especially in the finance space - Tim quietly goes in the opposite direction. He’s still competitive, still obsessed, still driven… but instead of chasing more money, he’s using that same intensity to build something that actually matters.This isn’t a soft, feel-good conversation either.It’s honest, chaotic at times, but surprisingly grounding. We get into the reality behind success, the pressure, the mistakes, the ego, and what happens when you realise money alone doesn’t fulfil you. It’s about redefining what winning actually looks like, and why the mindset that makes you successful can either build your life… or leave you feeling completely unfulfilled.If you’ve ever questioned what it is you really want, Tim has got the TEA!

We also dive into motherhood, pressure, and balance - and what it means to use your voice, even when it comes with backlash.And of course… we bond over tea, Irish biscuits, and the fact that putting the kettle on fixes everything ☕  This one feels like sitting down with a friend who’s lived a thousand lives - and still doesn’t take herself too seriously.From setbacks to breakthroughs... over a Barry's cuppa tea.
