From One RV to 70 Locations: How Faith, Failure, and Grit Built a National Brand with Garr Russell

In this powerful episode of Leadership from the Heart, Romie Montpeirous sits down with visionary entrepreneur and founder of Fireside RV Rental, Garr Russell. From buying a single RV to accidentally building the largest RV rental management franchise in the nation, Garr shares a vulnerable, real, and inspiring look at what it takes to grow through failure, lead with faith, and build businesses and families that thrive together.

They explore:

• How a failed anniversary trip sparked a national business
• Why hope—not hustle—is the foundation of lasting success
• The practical benefits of homeschooling alongside entrepreneurship
• The secret to delegation and building teams that scale
• A biblical framework for resolving conflict in business
• Why your next best hire might be your “replacement” — and that’s a good thing
• What to do when you’re failing spiritually, emotionally, and financially

This episode is a masterclass in resilient leadership, community-driven growth, and how to keep showing up—especially when everything feels like it’s falling apart.
