How This Indiana Entrepreneur Turned Tragedy Into a Global Adventure

On today’s show I sat down with the founder of Umbrella Supply, Adam Swartz, who shared his tumultuous journey – one that includes overcoming brain tumors, an untimely death of his father, and founding a fashion brand with a purpose.

Adam’s journey has seen him go from a college project at Indiana University to creating a thriving lifestyle brand that supports brain tumor research.

We discuss Adam’s life-changing surgery, life in Colorado, a yoga retreat in Guatemala, and finding love in Israel.

By the end of the episode, you’ll be inspired by Adam’s resiliency to hopefully turn any of your own life’s adversities into opportunities.

You are going to learn about:

• How Umbrella Supply Supports Brain Tumor Research

• Turning Life’s Adversities into Opportunities

• The Power of Family and Community
