\"\"<\/a>Adam Wright has a problem with spending. His idea is to create an augmented reality game to help himself (and others) to save more and spend less.<\/p>\n

The latest GDP report as well as earnings season are keeping investors interested in buying everything they can. Tech is looking pretty good – more earnings are on the way.<\/p>\n

\"\"Adam Wright grew up in\u00a0Houston, TX, where he pole-vaulted on his high school\u2019s track & field team and sang in the school choir. After graduation, he attended the University of North Texas, where he served as President of his fraternity and graduated with a media\/television\/film degree. He moved to downtown Dallas to work with the two serial entrepreneurs behind the best selling \u201cMarshmallow Shooter\u201d toy gun found in retail stores all across the country. This is where he learned the ropes of the wild wild west of entrepreneurship.<\/p>\n

Adam was recruited out of Dallas to move to Los Angeles and work for Ben Silverman\u2019s former production company, Reveille LLC, as Executive Assistant to the Head of Development. He learned the magical effect ‘compelling story\u2019 has on audiences, and moved on to produce hit reality television shows including Dance Moms (LIFETIME), RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race (LOGO), and American Ninja Warrior (NBC).<\/p>\n

In 2018, Adam directed his first film, currently in post-production, a documentary about entrepreneurship and mental health. He resides in Venice, California.<\/p>\n
