Inside the Playbook: Russ on How His Day-One Business Partner Saved His Music Career

In this clip of The Manager’s Playbook, Russ opens up about the pivotal moments that built his career. From Bugus filing the LLC at 18, to staying focused when things almost unraveled, to why a $250 check still means more to him than a $600K payout.

This is the part of the journey most people don’t see: the loyalty, the small wins, and the grit behind the scenes that made everything else possible.

A conversation like this doesn't come cheap.
