Today Adrian was late! Oh no. He’s slipping. Not quite. There was intention behind this later than normal published episode. Tune in to hear why!

Today Adrian explores a theory called “question lodging”. This is when we have a handful of questions lodged in our mind that essentially go on to define our true success. What kind of questions are you asking yourself?

Today Adrian dives into something he heard more recently on a podcast. Our first failed dream is where our life really starts. It’s not until then we have think, pivot, adapt and overcome. That moment and those moments in the future are what make us who we are!

Today Adrian eludes to our "softness" as a society being the means to our true unhappiness. We live so comfortably that we don't have to truly buckle down and focus with our backs to the wall. We don't have to be so caught up in the moment to moment that we can reflect on what we don't have, what we wish we did have and ways we continue to come up short of perfection. In an optimal world we have t...

Failure is a part of each our journey's. We will all fail to different levels, and through different experiences but we will ALL feel it. How will you use these times and challenges? Will you simply be a victim to your circumstance? Will you continue to grow? Or will just shut down and consider yourself a failure? Today Adrian explores using some of his biggest let downs as his greatest fuel and h...

Today Adrian talks about something close to exactly what he is experiencing now in his company FNX. Leading is hard, and takes balance and intention. Do we need to foster a safe place? Service? Honesty and integrity? Yes all of the above but we also must push and foster a culture of production and outcome. How do we find the balance and what is the order? Take a listen. 

Today Adrian discusses the design of the golf ball? Yes, the golf ball! Did you know it was originally designed in a perfect sphere? Well, that perfect figure or that perfect shape did not bode well for "control and optimization". Take a listen to today's episode to understand how our smallest imperfections and what make us unique are just the right ingredients for our future successes! 

Today Adrian takes a deep dive and description into how vulnerability is now a super power. There may have been a time in history when men or leaders in general weren't supposed to be vulnerable or transparent if it ever made them look human, or "weak". But now we are at a point where honest truly is the best policy! People feel it, see it, understand it and can relate to "human" ups and downs. Th...

Adrian recalls a lesson he once heard from Chris Hinshaw, one of the best endurance coaches in the game! Chris shared that while all competitors in a race of any kind will experience pain and discomfort, the leader is free from the suffering of the rest of the group. To lead you know you set the tone, to lead you get to win the race, but to follow you are victim to the leaders pace, you don't reap...

Have you ever seen the picture of a "worker" tirelessly digging? As they dig they cover great ground but then the picture depicts them stopping just inches from the treasure, the water, the oil, whatever the "goal" was? This happens more common in our world and our personal lives than we will ever hope to recognize. We put in work, sometimes a lot, sometimes a little and then stop just shy of our...

Revenge is sweet and today it is served to the audience as a "peace sign" hand gesture that we all saw in the Superbowl last weekend! Today Adrian dives into the context of Antoine Winfield Jr. and the Cheetah, Mr. Tyreek Hill getting into a battle of gestures and where it all came from. The message today is really about how powerful we can be when finding the proper sources of motivation and usin...

Today Adrian covers a history about Garrett Morgan. A Black inventor of a unique hair product, an invention that made the car "clutch" more smooth and most popularly known for the design of the modern traffic light. Morgan is unique through how he found he success but also common in what allowed him to do so. We need freedom to create in order to do something great, do you have that freedom in you...

Today Adrian shares a message that should be echoed from the rooftops especially to the next generation! He talks about how our differences are what make us unique, make us beautiful and make us who we are. Yet, for some reason we often shrink back from sharing our differences and don't highlight them as much as we should. When successful companies try to "brand" themselves they do so highlighting...

Today Adrian shares a well known quote from Malcolm X that challenges us to have less preference. The quote highlights the value of having a neutral perspective until all the information is presented. It is very easy today to lean heavy right, or lean heavy left, everyone thinks they must have a "side" or an allegiance. What if we all simply supported what was "right" and what was "just" no matter...

So many of us get caught up in focusing on what we cannot control, what we cannot do, things we do not have! But today Adrian gives us a motivational Monday perspective and encourages us to wake up and focus on the things we can control, the things we can do, and the things we do have!
