We are thrilled to welcome Adam Russell, a successful business owner, finance professor, and bank owner, to the show. For 15 years, Adam has been a trusted voice on this and other radio programs, but this time he’s pulling back the curtain to share his personal journey for the very first time.

It’s easy to look at accomplished business leaders and assume their path to success was smooth, but that’s rarely the case. We often judge ourselves by our internal struggles—our feelings, doubts, and insecurities—while viewing others through the lens of their polished, outward success. Adam’s story shatters that illusion and offers an inspiring glimpse into the ups and downs of building a thriving career from the ground up.

This is the uplifting story of a self-made man whose journey is as relatable as it is remarkable.
