An Internal Locus of Control — Kiley Adams [Invest Like the Best EP.08]
This episode is a major departure from the norm. My guest, Kiley Adams, is only 21 years old. She has crammed more learning and adventure into two decades than most people could hope to in a lifetime. She’s track-and-field star, valedictorian, varsity soccer player, Tae Kwon Do fourth degree master black belt, and philanthropic researcher. She has travelled all over the country and the globe, recently spending two months by herself in India. I had the pleasure to meet here while teaching and investing class at Notre Dame and am thrilled to share her incredible story and her attitude that makes all of this possible.
