Max Fortune, W.M.S., is a Certified Wealth Management Specialist, serial entrepreneur, business credit strategist, publisher, podcast host, nonprofit leader, and CEO of Lenox International Holdings Group, LLC. His career reads like the story of a man who repeatedly stepped into unfamiliar rooms, saw opportunity before others recognized it, and built something valuable through determination, sales mastery, resilience, and execution.
His entrepreneurial journey began when most people were still learning how to follow instructions. At 12 years old, Max used his bus fare to buy candy and sell it to classmates in middle school. The business lesson was immediate and unforgiving: if he failed to sell, he would have to walk six miles home. He never had to walk home. That early experience taught him risk tolerance, customer psychology, pricing, persistence, and the practical truth that sales could create freedom.
