186. Chad Carrodus: Turning Obstacles into Opportunity
Today I’m talking to Chad Carrodus, with Jere Metcalf Partners of AFHSIR, better known, only at JMPartners, as Big Chaddy Daddy Carrodus.
At just 22 years old, Chad is a top real estate agent in Atlanta. He hit hard times before he was a teenager and turned those hardships into successes.
From the non-profit, Atlanta Children’s Charities, he launched at 16 years old with 300 members and still running today.
To selling jets and jet time, to launching a software company to selling an e-commerce company, he has drawn from his successes and his lessons learned to land where he is today, a top producing real estate agent in Atlanta.
