There’s a dangerous place so many people settle into. It isn’t failure. It isn’t collapse. It’s that space where everything looks fine. Stable job. Decent pay. Life going well enough. But fine is the enemy of greatness.   If you feel a restless knot in your gut, the kind that says you’re capable of more and that you’re done settling, this episode is for you. Adam Williams had everything on the outside: success in tech sales, a steady paycheck, respect. But inside, he was starving for something real.   Losing his mum at nineteen didn’t break him. It rewrote everything. In this extremely real and raw episode Adam shares the truth about grief, the turning points that forced him to grow up fast, and what ultimately brought him to the decision to escape the nine to five. He explains what it meant to take that leap of faith, to put everything on the line, and to back himself fully in starting a new business venture.   You will hear how to recognise when good has become your ceiling, why walking away from safe can sometimes be the bravest move, and the habits and practices that build resilience when life feels good enough but not enough.   If you have ever felt stuck in stability, restless inside comfort, or like there is a version of you waiting to come alive, this one is for you.   ⸻ Key moments include:   ✔ Why good is the enemy of great and how mediocrity creeps into our lives ✔ The impact of losing his mum at nineteen and how it reshaped Adam’s outlook ✔ What it really takes to escape the nine to five and step into the unknown ✔ The messy middle: grief, fear, and the tools that helped him keep moving forward ✔ Starting a podcast studio from scratch and why action beats panic every time ✔ Choosing courage over comfort and backing yourself when everything is on the line   ⸻ Connect & Follow Follow Ellie McKay: 🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellie_mckay_official/?hl=en-gb 🔗 On a Mission Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onamissionpodcast2.0/?hl=en-gb  Follow Adam Williams: 🔗 Website: https://podcast-room.com/?fbclid=PAQ0xDSwM5Ld5leHRuA2FlbQIxMQABp0BqfHSLr32Po_JIZUryf0PcY8c1S852-JNNFQt1UwiqTTFXXwG_P4oWq7In_aem_UJvomybalt60s8DUDCWRZw 🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adam_tryingtoadult?igsh=MWRxbWFvMGI1NmhiaA== 🔗 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podcastroomhq?igsh=c2NydmZvcDE1YnQ2
