Calling all future millionaires.
You're already on the path. The team is what keeps you on it.
A brief from the guy running the cohort.
Before you scroll the whole page or apply, hear it in his voice. Why he's doing this, who he wants in the room, and what changes for you if you get in.
You don't want this casually. You want it in your chest.
You wake up and dream of the day you see a million dollars in net worth.
You physically yearn for it. There's a catch in your throat when you think about hitting millionaire status.
If that's you, you're already a future millionaire. You're just not there yet. And it eats at you.
You don't need another cheerleader. You need a team.
What You Don't Need
- A coach telling you to work harder.
- An inspirational speaker promising it'll all work out.
- A guru selling you a mindset.
- Hype.
What You Do Need
- A team, captained by a strong quarterback.
- A foundation built for your first million.
- And your next.
- And your next.
The work is yours. No one does it for you. The team makes it possible. Can compress the timeline. Shows up when you want to quit.
You bring the drive.
We bring the bench.
You bring your situation, your drive, your talent, your dream. We bring the team that protects the foundation underneath it.
Dr. Adam Link, CFP®
Founder & Managing Director, Fireweed Capital. Calling the plays for the First Million Cohort.

- Education

Dr. Link grew up in Minnesota. He worked hard in school and started side-hustles throughout his time in school. He started with one burning question, "how did successful people become successful?" Then he found his own path to the answer.
He spent his career as a software engineering leader, most recently a Senior Engineering Manager at Coinbase, while building, investing, and exiting businesses on the side. By the time he reached financial independence, he'd been part of four company exits (one of them an IPO).
He founded Fireweed Capital while still at Coinbase, then transitioned to running it full-time. The thesis was simple: regular people deserve the same financial advice that wealthy people pay a fortune for. Not someone teaching accumulation from theory.
He's the author of four books on investing and personal finance, and the quarterback you get in the First Million Cohort.
We can't swing the sword for you. But we'll make sure it's the sharpest one on the field.And we'll be the team standing behind you while you swing it.
We're not guessing. We're running a playbook.
This is the playbook I lived myself. Going from future millionaire to financially independent. Disciplined planning. Tax coordination. Risk management. Clean legal structure. We're running it with you because the framework is sound.
Stop being a future millionaire.
Start becoming an actual one.
The call is $1 to hold the slot. Not because of the money. My calendar holds about four selection calls a week, and more than four people raise a hand. The $1 just sorts the people who'll actually show up from the people clicking around.
If I tell you on the call that we're not a fit, the $1 comes right back. You literally can't lose a dollar here.
Answer the five questions below, pick a 30-minute slot, and we'll talk.
Pick your selection-call slot.
30 minutes with Dr. Adam Link. The $1 comes off your card at booking. If we don't fit, you get it back. Either way, you walk away with a clearer picture of your next move.
What you actually get.
- Format
- 1:1 time with your quarterback, a CFP® who's done it himself.
- Duration
- A decade. We're not in this for one quarter, we're in this for your first million.
- Cadence
- Monthly check-ins. Plus the unscheduled moments where you actually need someone, like a job offer, a windfall, a panic.
- Specialists
- You don't need a tax-planning CPA at $5,000 saved. When you grow into needing one, you get one through the network.
- What You Walk Away With
- A written plan that fits the income you actually make. A monthly partner. A clear next move every time you finish a call.
- Cost
- $1 to book the selection call (refundable on no-fit). Cohort fees scale with your situation, we'll talk through them on the call. No income or asset minimum to apply.
- Cohort Size
- Two people per month. 24 people max per year.
- Selection
- By application. Mutual fit. We're picking you. You're picking us.
Who This Is For
- People who can save something every month, even if it's $50.
- People starting from $0 saved who are ready to stop starting over.
- People in their 20s, 30s, 40s working a regular job and feeling the yearning to be more.
- People who don't have an advisor yet because they "don't have enough" — that's exactly who this is built for.
- Couples and parents trying to build something that lasts past them.
Who This Isn't For
- People looking for someone to motivate them.
- People who want a guarantee.
- People who'd rather talk about wealth than build it.
- People who refuse to save anything until they make more money.
- People expecting a quick fix instead of patient, disciplined work over years.
So... what's the catch?
Here's the part most advisors won't tell you.
You don't have enough money for me to make money on you today. I know that. I'm not pretending otherwise.
If you have $1,000 saved and a real advisor charges you 1% a year, that's $10. It doesn't pay for a single one of our calls. The math is bad for me, today.
So why am I doing this?
Because I believe in helping others. The character of a person can be determined by what they do when they reach the top. I turned around and want to help the next person up the mountain. You're that next person.
I'm playing a long game. If I help you go from $1,000 to $1,000,000 over the next decade, you and I have built something real together. And when you have a million dollars, you're going to want it managed properly. I want you to remember who showed up when you had a thousand.
That's the catch. I'm betting on you. I'm betting that in ten years you'll have wealth to manage, and you'll let me be the one to manage it. If that math works for you, it works for me.
The $1 to book the call protects my calendar from people who won't show up. Nothing more. If we're not a fit, you get it back. If we are, we keep going.
