John Chadwick

Establishing his work on a foundation of integrity, John Chadwick is a Finance/Banking Executive, Entrepreneur, and Author who enjoys guiding others towards attaining new levels of financial literacy and fruitful independence. As a Managing Director for a global bank, John holds an extensive 25+ year history involving the intricacies of money/business management, multi-national banking relations, and inspiring healthy mindset shifts beyond standard education, and takes pride in leveraging that dynamicity to prove anyone can achieve their own definition of success with the right tools, support, and splashes of motivation.

Based in NYC with his amazing wife, whom he has started several businesses with, John discovered early on the innate value of under-the-surface education, possessing a strong work ethic, and moral compass leadership. Part of that stems from his humble upbringing being raised by a hard-working single mother, and the other from his first-hand experience seeing just how disconnected formal education was at preparing society for real-world success. Upon earning a BA and MA in Business Administration, John spent the next two decades of his life figuring out adulthood, rectifying mistakes and overcoming hurdles that were never brought up in the classroom. But with much perseverance, John soon became a franchise owner, built a real estate holding company, and is a Global Banker at one of the world’s largest financial institutions. Even more, has since blended those versed experiences to help guide all walks of life towards not just attaining the financially balanced futures they deserve but ultimately teaching them how to spearhead the wealth-building game along the way.

In the end, a person either disciplines their finances, or their finances discipline them. Because the truth is that there is a secret psychology of money that dives deeper than what traditional education prepares you for, where a lack of money is not the problem; it is merely just a symptom of what is going on in your own thoughts - ultimately inspiring John to write ‘Advance Placement (AP) Adulting’ and finally bridge those prevalent gaps to enable his readers to thrive in every facet of their lives. Overall, there is no denying that it takes a lot of dedication to break the molded narratives revolving around financial literacy and wealth, and sometimes all it takes is connecting with someone who cares about your future trajectories as much as you do to finally recognize and capitalize on that.

From executive banking to authoring void-filling publications, nothing makes John happier than being able to help others achieve their own unique version of success and ultimately excel in the real world. However, when he is not working, you can usually find him snow skiing, traveling, scuba diving, staying active, practicing the art of mindfulness, and above all, spending time with his biggest supporter – his wife.
