Adam Carroll, Chief Executive Officer
Adam Carroll's entrepreneurial spirit came shining through at the age of 7 when he decided to start a business selling cakes door-to-door. Though the business was very short-lived, in a week's time, Adam managed to sell two cakes and make a profit of $17. He was hooked. While in college, Adam and his cousin founded ACB Enterprises, a vending company whose featured products were the Hollywood Pop popcorn machines new to the Midwest. The business helped fund some of his college adventures and gave him a business education no formal curriculum could provide. After college, Adam followed his true passion of public speaking and delivered a motivational message to tens of thousands of high school and college students nationwide. It was during this time that Adam and Chad created the concept of a financial literacy presentation that not only educated, but entertained and energized students to take a positive step with their financial lives.
After a few years and several successes in the training and consulting arena, Adam formally partnered with Chad and "The Money Game" was created. The company that delivers the message is now known as National Financial Educators. Adam's passion is helping people live the life they were destined to live by taking control of their finances once and for all. |
