Adam Torres, host of the Mission Matters podcast series, shares his journey from growing up in Detroit's tough neighborhoods to becoming a top global podcaster with over 1,500 episodes produced annually. His story reveals how early exposure to finance, international travel, and a determined mindset helped him overcome challenging beginnings and develop the global perspective that powers his success today.
• Born and raised in Southwest Detroit during the drug epidemic and high crime rates of the 1980s
• First encountered finance working at Raymond James during high school, opening his eyes to new possibilities
• Studied international relations in college to deliberately expand his worldview through travel
• Traveled extensively through Europe, Mexico, and beyond, often with minimal preparation but maximum curiosity
• Currently produces between 1,500-2,000 podcast episodes annually, ranking in the top 2.5% globally
• Connects his sports background to podcasting success, viewing each episode as equivalent to "taking shots" to improve
• Emphasizes valuing every listener who gives their time rather than focusing solely on download numbers
• Encourages others to start podcasting now while the medium is still relatively uncrowded compared to platforms like YouTube
