A little more about me

Scott Adamson

I've been self-employed since I was 18 and I haven't stopped yet.

It started with flipping snowboards and wakeboards on eBay as a teenager. Then I worked for a roofing contractor. Within 2 months I was running my own crews and made the leap to do it for myself.

Since then I've started other construction companies, software businesses, and e-commerce brands.

Most of what I've tried has failed. A few things have worked out and I'm still figuring it out as I go.

Right now I'm running three companies: Kickbooster, The Wanderful, and Bodystack, with a goal of reaching $10M a year. I'm trying to document it so I remember the journey.

Outside of work, I'm training for a 100-mile ultramarathon, chasing a sub-3-hour marathon, and spending as much time as I can in the van with my dog and my girlfriend Nik. I'm a Canadian who loves to travel, and right now I'm probably obsessing over something I shouldn't be.
