ADAPT or die
When disruption hits, average leaders freeze—great ones adapt.
Former tech-CEO–turned-leadership-coach Andreas Pettersson sits down with C-suite executives, founders, and change-makers to dissect the exact moment they faced a make-or-break challenge, the mindset pivot that unlocked progress, and the measurable success that followed.
Every episode delivers:
- Challenge → Adaptation → Success — a tight, three-act story you can steal.
- A 60-second “Hot-Seat” mini-coaching segment that turns insight into action.
- Concrete metrics, battle-tested tactics, and candid reflections you won’t hear on the PR circuit.
If you’re scaling a team, steering a turnaround, or future-proofing your career, this show equips you to adapt and thrive—because in leadership, the alternative is extinction.

Ryanna Hammond on Writing Your Way Back: From Darkness to "All With Heart"
In her teens, poet and entrepreneur Ryanna Hammond felt life slipping out of reach. By 28, she’d published seven books, launched the lifestyle brand All With Heart, healed generational wounds—and is now preparing for motherhood. In this episode of ADAPT or Die, Ryanna walks host Andreas Pettersson through the inner work that turned a private journal into a public mission.
- Challenge → Years of depression, disordered eating, and self-doubt left Ryanna stuck in numbing routines.
- Adaptation → A four-month, full-time therapy program—mixing CBT, breath-work, group sessions, and daily writing—taught her radical honesty and vulnerability. With a nudge from a friend, those pages became her debut collection, We Are Human.
- Success → The book cracked Amazon’s Poetry Top 100, snowballed into six more titles, and inspired her coaching practice helping others “live all with heart.” Next up: guiding Andreas’ forthcoming leadership book.
🔥 60-Second Hot Seat: The mindset flip that dissolves “sleazy” sales anxiety—reframe it as helping, not selling—and Ryanna’s one rule for anyone feeling stuck: be brutally, beautifully honest with yourself.
