Sharing insights from his experiences, Adam breaks down the common myth of “trusting the process” and challenges entrepreneurs to reflect on whose process they’re actually trusting.

Key Takeaways:

Quotes from the Episode:

  • “Faith and fear always coexist. The more afraid you are, the better the opportunity on the other side. It’s your choice.”
  • “If you’re trying to get to California but driving toward Florida, no matter how much you love the process, you’re never going to reach the right destination.”
  • “Your legacy is not a deathbed decision. It’s not what you leave behind; it’s what you live.”
  • “The best form of leadership is self-leadership. You have to lead yourself in the way you want to lead others.”
