When a door you spent years opening is slammed shut in your face, don’t waste time shouting at it. Instead, find another door. Paul Adams, founder and CEO of Sound Financial Group, learned that the hard way.

On this episode of Defining Moments, Paul explains how he buried his anger and embraced the unexpected positives of the new path he was sent down, and how watching a story about a potato from the creator of the Dilbert comics changed his life.
