Welcome to another episode of Screw the Stock Market, where we explore alternative ways of investing and thinking about money. We're excited to have William A. Adams as our guest for today's episode. William is a tech guru, an entrepreneur, and one of the first black pioneers in Silicon Valley. He’s been a part of the tech boom since the early '90s and now focuses on empowering minority entrepreneurs in the tech industry with a mission to spark generational wealth.
