Guest Bio: 

Adil Amarsi's childhood was filled with challenges from a young age due to his father's disability. Growing up, Adil spent most of his time watching TV with his dad, who loved watching the news, trivia games, and the Home Shopping Channel. These experiences helped shape Adil's brain and taught him how to sell and use strategic thinking. 

When he was 12, his slow writing skills were noted by his teachers, but instead of improving his speed, Adil began writing stories instead. After his parents separated for two years, they reconciled, and Adil's family moved to the other side of town. Despite the challenges he faced, Adil's experiences as a child helped him develop a unique perspective and skill set that he would use throughout his life.
