Construction industry ambassador, mentor, visionary, director of adversity, equity, and inclusion, founder of Russell’s Building Camp, and owner of so many more achievements, Adrian Russell, pairs with Mike and Greg for the Brandcast. When it comes to reinventing yourself and paving your path for a successful future, Adrian is someone who knows best about that, he talks about his journey into finding what stands out about him in college and learning to focus and reinvent himself instead of always being focused on the others around him, which is something a lot of people commonly get caught up in and lose sight of what’s more important, which is always working on yourself, and Adrian shows why that’s important. And at the end of the day, make sure your success leaves a mark, and use it to help the people around you.
