Ryan Robbins | From Foster Care to Financial Freedom | James Volpe | Fireside America Ep 73 @FiresideAmerica732 | Uploaded July 2023 | Updated October 2024, 56 minutes ago.
James Volpe is a partner at MTS Transport, a carrier working with large entities to build and deliver high end office furniture. James has lived out his own hero's journey, from foster care to freedom, and to this day holds the value of true relationships close to his heart. His ability to walk away from profitable deals because of unhealthy dynamics is admirable, as his sights stay set on deeper, long-term connections. It was a sit down at The Pit and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
