One Call Away from Breaking the Cycle

Every once in a while, we meet someone who shows us that the “safe” path isn’t always the right one. In this episode of The One Away Show, Rob Adams shares how a newspaper clipping, a bet with a friend, and a leap of faith led him from a small town in Missouri to building – and eventually selling – a donut empire to Andre Agassi. Along the way, Rob unpacks the lessons that shaped his mindset: betting on yourself when others doubt you, finding opportunity where others see risk, and focusing on mental resilience as the ultimate edge. Whether you’re a founder, investor, or dreamer, Rob’s story is a powerful reminder that conviction often has to outrun certainty – and sometimes one bold decision is all it takes to break the cycle.
