I first had the privilege of hearing Charles Horton speak at Erin Smith’s Entrepreneur Summit.  I’m so glad I continued to cross paths with this man through other friends and his awesome monthly event, The Boardroom.   As a business leader and investor, Charles runs a multi-million dollar personal finance business, the foundation of which he began when he was 15 years old with a check-cashing business that soon became a check verification company.  That company became SmartCheck, the 8th largest check verification company in the U.S.   Charles has since gone on to invest in and start numerous other successful businesses.     But that just scratches the surface of what he does and the lives he impacts.   From running his Shark Tank-like monthly Boardroom event to Firewalking and walking with lions, we cover an incredible amount of Charles’ amazing story in this interview.
