Why I Write This Newsletter
A Personal Note from Russ
I was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, commonly known as Brittle Bone Disease.
Living with OI has taught me lessons that extend far beyond physical challenges.
It taught me perseverance. It taught me adaptability. It taught me that setbacks do not define your future.
Throughout my professional career, I've also experienced layoffs, career transitions, uncertainty, and unexpected detours.
Those experiences reinforced something I've come to believe deeply: The people who succeed over the long term are not necessarily the smartest, most connected, or most talented. They are often the most resilient.
The Unbreakable Edge is where I share the lessons I've learned from a lifetime of navigating challenges and more than two decades of professional leadership experience.
My hope is that these lessons help you build your own unbreakable edge.
