Join us for a transparent and faith-driven conversation with Garr Russell, serial entrepreneur, speaker, and CEO of Fireside RV Rental—the nation’s largest RV rental management company with over 70 franchise locations.

Garr doesn't just talk about success; he talks about the redemption that followed significant failure. He openly shares the profound personal and financial setbacks he faced, including battling bankruptcy, alcohol addiction, and crippling fear, and how a radical transformation allowed him to build a business designed for legacy and generational wealth.

This episode is a must-listen for entrepreneurs who need to understand that the path to massive scale is rarely straight and often requires deep personal fortitude.

In this candid discussion, we uncover:

  • The Entrepreneurial Origin: The journey starting from his very first venture in 5th grade, all the way to building a franchise with 70+ locations across the U.S.
  • The 'COVID Coma': Garr dives into the critical lessons and necessary pivots learned during one of the most unpredictable periods in recent business history.
  • Growth Mindset Over Grindset: Practical, faith-based strategies for maintaining a growth mindset and equipping yourself to build a life and business that creates impact.
  • Redemption and Resilience: How to embrace your struggles and setbacks—not just your victories—as the essential components that fuel true, sustainable business scaling.
  • Systems for Scale: Garr’s proven expertise in developing the systems, processes, sales, and marketing required to launch and manage a nationwide franchise.

Garr’s mission is to inspire entrepreneurs to pursue their God-given vision with boldness and build lasting wealth. Tune in for a powerful dose of inspiration and actionable scaling wisdom.
