Interview with Garr Russell, Founder and CEO of Fireside RV Rental
When a plan fails or life throws a curveball, it’s important to pause long enough to recognize the opportunity hidden within it. What feels like a setback today might actually be the seed of your next breakthrough. Instead of focusing solely on ownership, shift your mindset toward creating systems that manage and multiply what already exists around you—leveraging other people’s assets can help you scale without the burden of heavy capital investment. True recovery begins not when the pressure disappears, but when you stop numbing it and start speaking truthfully—to your spouse, your team, or even yourself. That kind of honesty and courage can lift you out of the darkest chapters of entrepreneurship. Ultimately, building a company that lasts requires evolving beyond the hustle for personal wins and into mentorship—structuring your business and your life around values that will continue to make an impact long after your own career concludes.
