I know that you are going to enjoy this conversation that I had with advocate, author and documentarian, Adam Carroll. After running into Adam at more than few conferences, we finally found time in his busy schedule (you can see based on the headline that he has a lot going on!). In this broad-ranging conversation, we discuss Adam's journey from profligate young adult to a highly sought after speaker to Gen Z and millennial audiences where he focuses, you guessed it, on money. His main message: use money as a tool to "build a bigger life, not a bigger lifestyle." Adam shares observations that come from speaking to tens of thousands of young people about their money concerns and desires. How can bamboo be a motivator? What's the difference between a doodad and an asset? Listen to this podcast with Adam and find out!

Notable QUOTES:
Tim's saving habits started at seven when a neighbor with a broken hip gave him a dog walking job. Her recovery, which took almost a year, resulted in Tim getting to know the bank tellers quite well (and accumulating a savings account balance of over $300!). His recent entrepreneurial adventures have included driving a shredding truck, analyzing executive compensation packages for Fortune 500 companies and helping families make better college financing decisions. After volunteering in 2010 to create and teach a personal finance program at Eastside College Prep in East Palo Alto, Tim saw firsthand the impact of an engaging and activity-based curriculum, which inspired him to start a new non-profit, Next Gen Personal Finance.
