Adam Torres: When Fun Turns into a Mission

What if the things you do “just for fun” are actually signposts for your calling? In this episode of Your Next Success, host Dr. Caroline Sangal sits down with Adam Torres, Co-Founder of Mission Matters and host of the Mission Matters series of shows, ranked in the top 2.5% of podcasts globally. Adam grew up on the southwest side of Detroit, where the statistics said many kids would end up in jail or dead before 21. Instead, he developed an entrepreneurial eye early — selling candy, collecting comic books, keeping action figures sealed as investments, and airbrushing shirts for friends. He later spent more than 14 years in financial services, working with over 1,000 business owners and 3,000 high-net-worth families, before a flooded office and a pile of ruined certificates became the moment he knew it was time to pivot. Today, Mission Matters is a media, branding, and book publishing agency with thousands of podcast episodes, over 400 authors published, and a mission to amplify the stories of entrepreneurs, entertainers, executives, and experts. In this conversation, you’ll learn: Growing up in Detroit shaped Adam’s drive to turn passion into purpose. How a simple gratitude livestream sparked the power of media and led to Mission Matters. Financial career lessons that built the foundation for entrepreneurship and impact. Stepping into your mission, even small, and his vision of 1 billion podcasts.
