Russ was inspired to record today's episode because his oldest daughter Maddix recently started high school.

Maddix was born when Russ was in college, and it was one of the most unexpected moments of his life. It has also been undoubtedly one of the biggest blessings.

Today's podcast is all about how we can persevere through the unexpected challenges, grow from them, and thrive.
