Secret Academy Episode - Adam GriffinAdam Griffin experienced loss when his first son passed away just days after his birth from a genetic disorder. From that day on, he realized that he wanted to make sure that whatever he did in his life would positively impact others. To deal with his grief, he limited the people he surrounded himself with and started writing as an outlet. His writings would eventually end up in publications such as INC.com, Men's Journal, Men's Fitness, Huffington Post, and Entrepreneur on Fire to name a few.
