About the Founder – J V Crum III

 J V Crum III, JD, MBA, became a self-made entrepreneur millionaire in his twenties. He is a best-selling author, keynote speaker, certified business coach, licensed attorney, serial entrepreneur, Huffington Post Columnist on conscious business, and is host of the #1 Ranked “Conscious Millionaire Podcast”, which broadcasts M-F. He is the Founder and CEO of Conscious Millionaire Institute LLC, a global entrepreneur business coaching, training, and wealth-product business.

J V has been an entrepreneur since the age of 4, when he set up his pup tent to sell “hand-squeezed tangerine juice” to high-school students when they got off the bus. At the age of 5, he decided the answer to his family’s often rocky and uncertain financial life, was to grow up to become a millionaire. Like many kids who grew up with a lot of financial certainty, he dreamed of a different life.

By the age of twenty-five he had realized that dream and celebrated by purchasing a new luxury home on the water and his first Mercedes. He had the “American Dream”.

Life was great, except for one thing. J V quickly realized that his childhood dream had not included the truly important parts of life, such as feeling a deep sense of purpose and fulfillment. Although he had all the trappings of wealth and success on the outside, he felt empty inside.

This awareness led him to two decades of searching, which included reading extensively in the areas of both human potential and spirituality, attending programs such as Tony Robbins, and participating in spiritual retreats. J V wanted more and was determined to discover the answer to what was missing in his life.

Seeking a Larger Purpose…

Ultimately, he sold the companies and went off to seek the meaningful life that he was missing. J V learned to meditate at Gampo Abbey, a Buddhist Monastery in Nova Scotia, Canada; then he delved into his inner psyche by doing work-study at Esalen, a human potential center on the Big Sur Coast of California. He went to Boulder to live where he would take two to three weeklong camping trips to connect with nature and his inner soul.

After several years of meditating and living a more connected life in Boulder and California, he ultimately discovered what he was on Earth to do while skiing in Lake Tahoe during a six-month stay. While on a weekend trip to San Francisco, he picked up a brochure to the “Green Festival.” Sunday he returned back to an apartment he was renting on the outskirts of Reno, just over the pass to Lake Tahoe.

The Conscious Millionaire Insight

He relaxed in spa tub to read the brochure. When he read the word “Conscious” on a page in the brochure, J V immediately saw the phrase “Conscious Millionaire” in his mind. Intuitively he realized that this was the answer he had been seeking – his path for giving back and positively impacting the lives of others and our world.

Six months later, in a similar moment of realization, he had the inspiration to start a non-profit named “Conscious World”. Being an attorney, he trademarked both, created an initial audio CD, and began his journey of developing Conscious Millionaire as a  business and Conscious World as a non-profit.

Now, he devotes himself to helping others find their dream by growing a business that combines making profits with creating an important difference for their customers and our world. His goal is to help you to create a business that affords you true financial freedom and a life that provides you the deep fulfillment you seek. All Conscious Millionaire trainings, programs, and coaching are designed to guide you forward on your millionaire path.
