Adam Hill started Hill Vending in Tampa Bay, Florida, in 2014, to liberate himself from the 9-to-5 grind and gain control of his financial destiny. What was a one-man show is now a thriving family business that earns six figures annually—even as Adam regularly works just 2 days a week.

Adam Hill, founder and CEO of Hill Vending, embarked on his entrepreneurial journey in 2014 with the intention of breaking free from the traditional 9-to-5 work model. He’s grown what he started as an owner-operator business into a family enterprise that earns nearly $60K a month.
