Eric O. January is a native Texan who was primarily raised in Chicago. He is a seasoned entrepreneur who is the president and CEO of Conduit Funding®, Conduit Investment Advisors® and the principal of Eric O’Neal January and Co, a certified public accounting firm. He is also the author of the three-part Gainology book series (formerly titled Mo'Sense) and an ordained minister. 

Dating back to his athletic career, Eric is a team player who leads by example. After a few years of working at mostly local CPA firms that provided a range of work and getting his public accounting license in the State of Illinois, he took a risk and founded Eric O’Neal January and Co. While practicing as a CPA he put his money where his heart was and founded Conduit to help his clients attain the “American Dream.”

In over 20 years of business he’s been instrumental in making and saving clients millions of dollars. He has increased returns on investments and improved overall net cash flow by helping clients acquire real estate and restructure investment portfolios, debt and balance sheets, and by offering non-conventional investment advice.

His insightfulness is a primary reason why Eric was a frequent guest on several Chicago media outlets such as WBEZ, CLTV, WVON, and WYCA during the financial crisis. His Gainology books, which are based on physics principles, have been so prophetic regarding banking, investments, trade, government, risk management and the economy in general since the first book was published in 2005 that he has been called the Einstein of Finance.
