Introduction

Adam Shepard is tired of people with apathetic attitudes saying that the American Dream is dead, so he sets out to disprove their complaints. He begins with nothing but a tarp, a sleeping bag, a gym bag, $25, and a pair of clothes. He has 1 year to to get a car, an apartment, $2,500, and a way to keep improving his life. His belief is that you simply need the right attitude to achieve the American Dream. So he began his year-long challenge to prove that the American Dream really is true.
