#155 – From Devastating Spinal Injury to Generation Z Entrepreneur
This week I’m very happy to welcome back Generation Z entrepreneur, innovator, speaker and author Casey Adams to The Alden Report. It’s been almost five years since I’ve had him on the show and I must say that he has been living up to his incredible reputation over that time. Already a successful entrepreneur at the age of 16, since we last spoke, he has received his first million dollar seed round for his newest business venture, has written a book, started a successful podcast and traveled all over the United States all the while sitting down with high level entrepreneurs, executives, and musicians. Throughout the process, Casey has become one of the most connected Generation Z figures.
As a quick background recap, Casey suffered a frightening spinal injury in his sophomore year of high school and learned he may never be able to play contact sports again. As a result, he became angry and depressed. However, at his lowest point he discovered some of the most prominent digital marketing mentors such as Tai Lopez who went on to change his life. Getting into personal development led him into many different industries and overall allowed him to find his purpose. Since then, he has become a #1 New Release Author for his book "Rise of The Young," as well as started his own Snapchat Marketing course to teach people how he was able to monetize Snapchat. He has been featured on Forbes, ABC Channel 8 News and The Huffington Post, among many others. As the host of the business podcast also called "Rise of The Young," Casey has interviewed world class individuals such as the broadcasting legend Larry King, the owner of the Houston Rockets Tilman J. Fertitta, Billionaire founder of Shutterstock Jon Oringer, record executive Rick Ross, author Robert Greene, former Federal Bureau of Investigation hostage negotiator Christopher Voss, among many other notable figures.
We also discuss his newest business venture Media Kits which provides a simple and easy to use platform for influencers, blogger and musicians to create a custom media kit online with real-time data and analytics.
Thank you so much to Casey for coming back to join us this week on The Alden Report.
