About The Money Dad
Robert Adams is a husband, dad, and business guy who has helped many individuals and companies get out of debt and thrive. He’s an entrepreneur and consultant with over 40 years of experience. He began writing finance software back when floppy disks were floppy, but today he has to ask his wife for his Apple password anytime his phone updates. You might say that he has lived a few different lives!
He grew up poor on “the mill hill,” but was always loved. His World War II veteran father grew up during the Great Depression and showed him how to get by with little and be content with everything that he had. Robert has been a partier, but now teaches Sunday school. He understands that sometimes love has to be tough, but grace and mercy always abound.
Over time Robert has not just been a loving father to his own children, but has become a father figure to many others seeking advice on how to handle their money.
He was interested in starting a radio show, but his daughter and co-host of The Money Dad Podcast informed him that those are called “podcasts” now and that she could help him start one whenever he wanted. After mulling it over, they thought that his practical financial experience and wisdom could help other people with their own journeys.
Now we have The Money Dad Podcast.
