Episode notes

Daniel and Adam Hagaman dive into the painful early chapters of Adam’s life, including growing up without a father, trying drugs in sixth grade, selling drugs, dropping out of school, and going to jail every year from 18 to 25. Adam explains how a party invitation led him to meet his future wife, the daughter of a pastor, and how that relationship introduced him to faith after years of darkness. The conversation moves from redemption to entrepreneurship, covering door-to-door sales, building businesses, making millions, losing nearly $1 million, and the shift from being a Christian with a business to becoming a Kingdom entrepreneur. Key Discussion Points Adam shares how growing up without his father shaped his identity and pushed him toward the wrong friends, drugs, alcohol, gangs, and selling drugs at a young age. He explains that from 18 to 25, he went to jail every year, but at the time he didn’t see it as a wake-up call; he only thought he had to “do better next time.” Adam tells the story of meeting his future wife at a party, even though he originally thought inviting her was a bad idea, and how her family and faith opened the door to a new life.
