Episodes Notes
It's a rags-to-riches story that starts with a piece of trash.
In 2018, Adam Gillan walked into Alexander Archbold's now-closed antique shop with a ratty Bambi picture.
Alexander gave Adam $20. Alex later found out it was worth thousands of dollars.
Alexander tracked down Adam and gave him half of the money he had received for the picture. It was that generosity that changed Adam's life moving forward.
Adam was able to get off the streets, get sober, return home and start his own business.
Today on Connections, Adam shares how he landed on the streets and his journey to success.
