from Design2Manifest · host Katherine Wentworth

Some people are just born to build. Adam Michaels was selling bubble gum on the back of the school bus, running a snow blowing business at 13, and promoting nightclubs in college before most people figure out what they want to be. Today he is the CEO and co-founder of Enrollify, a platform using AI and a gig economy of 6,000 credentialed benefit counselors to help employers and employees navigate the complexity of benefits.In this episode, Adam shares the unfiltered story of going from stockbroker at 19 with no salary and a phone book, to building three agencies worth $5M, $20M and $50M across three cities, to getting fired from a corporate role he calls one of the best things that ever happened to him. We talk about the abundance mindset, his seven-year life cycle theory, why partnerships need a prenup, and what it really means to burn the boats and start over.If you are an entrepreneur, a dreamer, or someone who has ever had to begin again, this one is for you.Follow Adam Michaels: @adammichaelsLearn more about Enrollify: www.enrollify.comWebsite: www.design2manifest.comInstagram: @design2manifest
