In the hot urban ghettos of Houston, Texas, and his small country hometown just 50 miles north of Houston, Russell Johnson had once been just another ambitious teen with dreams larger than life.

A brush with the law during his time at Junior College for General Business led to a crossroads he wasn't ready for. The future marketer's path seemed destined for dead ends.
After leaving college, Russell hit the road. He took to the highways of America with little more than a battered Honda Accord and an unrelenting desire to find meaning in his life.
