    In this inspiring episode of Investing with Purpose, we sit down with Russell Hughes, a humble IHG member, creative force in the game development world, and faith-driven real estate investor. From a childhood shaped by a "starving artist" father and hard life lessons, to building successful gaming companies and getting his hands dirty flipping HUD homes, Russell’s journey is anything but conventional. We explore how faith pulled him back from wayward paths, how he brings purpose into the work he does today, and how he’s navigating the early stages of real estate investing with spiritual clarity. This episode is a powerful testament to aligning your calling with your career, and how ethical investing is not just possible—but purposeful. Takeaways Investing should reflect personal beliefs and values. Many Christians consider the ethical implications of their investments. Financial advisors play a crucial role in aligning investments with faith. Return and safety are important, but not the only factors. Ethical investments can lead to better alignment with core beliefs. Navigating ethical dilemmas is essential for faith-based investing. Investors should seek advisors who understand their values.
