In this deeply honest conversation, Adam traces the origins of his drive back to childhood approval, cultural expectations, and the fear of not being enough. He shares how running on what he calls “dirty fuel” helped him succeed—but at a real cost to relationships, emotional health, and alignment. A relationship breakdown, years of inner work, and a re-examination of money ultimately led Adam to re-aim his life, not away from ambition, but toward usefulness, family, community, and intention.
