Summary
In this episode of the Millionaire Mindcast, we have an incredible guest no other than Adam Carroll, who shares insights and wisdom on achieving time freedom, relationship freedom, financial freedom, service freedom, journey of paying off debts, Engineering finances by creating more discretionary income, and how the shred method can really unlock financial freedom for people in the next 3 to 5 years!
Adam Carroll is a freedom fighter, savvy from an investment standpoint, an entrepreneur, author, professional speaker, mentor, documentary filmmaker, and podcast host. He changes lives by helping people succeed faster by building a bigger life not a bigger lifestyle. He wrote the book, “The Build a Bigger Life Manifesto”.
At an early age, Adam really loves the idea of making money and entrepreneurship. He lives like a rich college kid and then quickly becomes a broke professional because of debts. He wanted to live a life differently from his parents and free from debts. Until he read over 100 books in personal finance. Together with his future wife, he took a great leap. He started learning investing intelligently in real estate deals, alternatives investments, syndications, and being a lender for some people.
The couple was so aggressive about paying off debt and how they could minimize their lifestyle. They used their existing income in an efficient manner to blast away compound interest debt until they saw a huge financial success. Currently, Adam is not only obsessed with debts but of how to bring value to the people in terms of building wealth, financial freedom, and financial literacy!
