Adam Tolliver - The Racial Wealth Gap

This week on Standard Deviations with Dr. Daniel Crosby, Dr. Crosby is joined by Adam Tolliver. Adam Tolliver is a Partner Financial Advisor at Artisan Financial Strategies. He approaches each engagement with a strong commitment to helping clients achieve financial security for themselves and their families. When meeting Adam for the first time, clients quickly sense his deeply held belief that the keys to generations of wealth and financial security can realistically lie in just a handful of critical conversations that people have not yet had with their loved ones. With previous professional experience in personal banking, Adam holds a Bachelor of Science from Florida State University. (Interesting fact: his second cousin was the first African-American undergraduate student at the same university.) Adam is a member of the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors and has already earned an impressive collection of professional awards: 2016 Career Life Success Award; 2016 Career Life Producer Award; 2017 Agency Builder of The Year, Greater Atlanta; and Executive Council Member in 2017-2020 and MDRT Member 2021. Adam brings the same passion and energy to community leadership roles as he displays in his professional pursuits, serving as Chair of Atlanta Smart Academy School Board and Vice President of The Vision Foundation. He also holds memberships in the Atlanta Business League and Urban League of Young Professionals. Born and raised in Atlanta, GA, Adam makes his home in Southwest Atlanta. Like any true Southerner, he relishes a good peach cobbler whenever he can. Adam is a talented writer and artist in addition to his professional skill set and enjoys movies, drawing, poetry, and spirited debates. Don’t get him started on college sports though – for Adam, it’s Noles all the way!
