Mission Matters Luxury with Adam Torres

30/06/2023

I felt it was finally time to reveal the journey I've been on.

My first book, "Money Matters" was released 7 years ago. Hard to believe. Since then I left a corporate career and began my entrepreneurial journey, and "Mission Matters" was born.

In this new book, I tell my story as an "Accidental Entrepreneur" and am joined by co-author, Elliot Kallen, who shares his story as a "Serial Entrepreneur." The goal was to juxtapose two different types of entrepreneurial paths which are completely opposite, and oftentimes leads to opposing opinions in a "Tale of Two Entrepreneurs" adventure.

This book documents the highs, and some serious lows.
