Introduction: July 24-Setting Up

Adam Shepard starts out as a recent college graduate. His goal is to start off his career having almost nothing. He takes a train to Charleston, South Carolina and only brings with him the clothes on his back, an old gym bag, and $25. He wants to prove to America that anyone can become wealthy if he has the right attitude. He will live like this for a year. He will stay in a homeless shelter for as long as he needs. At the end of the year, he says he should have: $2500, an apartment, and a job that can turn into his career. In this introduction, he releases the claimer that he is not saying it is easy to get rich. It takes hard work and dedication, but anyone can do it if he is willing to try.
