    Setting the Record Straight

    Setting the Record Straight

    In recent months, Adam Kifer's life has been profoundly affected by a damaging article from AZ Republic reporter Robert Anglen, based on claims from his former executive assistant, Ashley Reynolds. This article has unleashed severe repercussions for Adam and his loved ones.



    In this crucial podcast episode, Adam shares the full story, now that court developments allow him to reveal previously restricted evidence. This includes emails, text messages, and invoices that disprove the accusations and demonstrate the sensationalism pushed by the media.



    The false narrative has threatened Adam’s family, brought harm toward his children, and caused harassment of his employees. This episode is more than just a personal rebuttal—it's a stand against unethical practices impacting small businesses and individuals everywhere.



    If you value integrity and justice, please listen and share this podcast. Help Adam correct the record and support those fighting against corruption.

Most REAL Mentor Ever!

I was blessed to meet Adam a couple of years ago when he invited me to the 2021 Summit as a guest of my best friend. I left there with a plan that changed the trajectory of our business and life. We joined the Relentless CEO Mastermind and can honestly say that every single interaction with Adam had been real. He lets you know what you need to know, all while letting you know that he, too, has walked through the struggles or is going through them with you. Each mentor he has on his podcast and on his team is just as authentic. We are filled with gratitude and honor to be able to call him mentor and friend.
