Adam opens up about the internal tension he felt while working in the school system, feeling anxious, restless, and unfulfilled, until he finally decided to pursue his true passions in music, acting, and eventually coaching. He talks about what it really took to walk away from stability, the emotional hurdles he had to clear, and the courage required to step into the unknown.
Drawing from his background in education, Adam explains how he built a coaching business rooted in helping others recognize and pursue their own potential. He shares the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, the power of taking imperfect action, and how staying connected to community and mentors kept him grounded through the process.
