Just months after moving 2,000 miles across the country to take a job at a newspaper, Adam Chandler found himself in a difficult situation. Far from the support of family and friends, he was laid off as the newspaper closed its doors and forced to seek an alternative source of income in a hurry. Finding an advertisement on Craigslist, Adam was extremely skeptical of an opportunity that promised teaching him how to make money online. Jumping in feet first he learned as much as he could, but that education came at a price. Learning from his mistakes, Adam pushed himself out of his comfort zone and went from his $19K salary to making $100K in his multi-level marketing business within just two years and now teaches others to do the same in their businesses.

Fearful at first, his traveling journey has lasted over a decade and nearly forty countries. Now with more than 200 episodes and 153 countries listening, David hosts the The Kickass Life Podcast where he shares insights on how to lead (you guessed it) a kickass life.   As an elite gymnast, Jen Newman missed qualifying for the 1992 Olympics by only a few spots.
