From Cutting Hair at 13 to Building an Empire: Adrian “Apex” Morales’ Story
23 Sep 2025
At just 13 years old, Adrian “Apex” Morales picked up his first pair of clippers to make lunch money. What started as a side hustle turned into a life-changing journey of resilience, mentorship, and community impact. From overcoming dark paths to investing $10K in mentorship, Adrian built Fadeaway Barbershop into a community cornerstone and later launched Apex Tax Pros LLC to help others achieve financial clarity. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast w/ Paul Alex, Apex shares how he turned early struggles into entrepreneurial success, the lessons he learned from mentors, and how giving back through free Sunday haircuts created a ripple effect in his city. His story proves that no matter where you start, discipline, focus, and purpose can elevate you to the top. 👉 Follow Adrian on Instagram: @apex_the_barber Your Network is your NETWORTH!
