Adam’s Self-Description:
“The ‘Podcast Guy’. I listen to 520 hours of business podcasts a year so you don't have to.”
Why I wanted to profile Adam:
This is 2022. There is no way I am the only one reading that has at least one good internet friend, right? Adam and I have never met IRL (‘in real life’ for my boomers / non-gamers) but we text regularly on WhatsApp. Why? Because we both started newsletters around the same time and have shared learnings with one another. While we’ve focused on newsletter growth, ironically, we also have personal similarities with starting families and being around the same age. He is a very sharp guy and if you listen to business podcasts, you’ll definitely want to subscribe to his newsletter.
Written in their own words
📺 Stream
Movie: Top Gun
This broke my post-Covid cinema virginity. Boy, was it worth it. The special effects, the characters, the storyline. It had it all. My wife and I joke that our kids are Englerican - part English, part American. This film made me walk away feeling proud to be American, even though I'm English.
🛒 Purchase
YETI Mug
I use this gem on a daily basis. My coffee never gets cold.

App: The iOS clock app
The iOS clock app. My son is almost 3, going on 13. Transitions are tough. The best way I've found to break through his stubbornness (I wonder where he gets that from) is to set a 2-minute timer. It's the best trick in the book for young kids.
💪 Incorporate
Date Nights
Date nights. I'm juggling a demanding day job, a side project, and a weekly newsletter. A glass of red every Thursday and a board game goes a long way to relieve stress. Our favorite board games are Catan, Pandemic, Ticket to Ride and Jaipur.
