In today’s episode, Massimo is joined by Adam McGraw. 3 years ago Adam walked away from a VP/GM job at American Express and all of its stability and equity to do what he didn’t have the mental fortitude or skills to do at 25.
It was a great run but he was being pulled to pursue things that he knew if he didn't try he'd regret later in life.
Adam has always applied a “go for it” mentality when it comes to things he’s passionate about.
From voiceovers in his college apartment, to starting his first band, to leadership roles at American Express, to running revenue in start-ups, and launching a consulting and coaching business.
Through his ambitions and journey, the thing he has become most passionate about (and admit requires the most intentional work) is finding proper balance.
Adam is currently obsessed with being able to connect his inner drive to his true passions, while ensuring relationships and fulfillment are the true markers of “success”. He’s a self-admitted WIP on this inward journey to truly self-actualize and he loves inspiring and helping others realize how they can create systems and processes to do the same.
He has recently supported and coached hundreds of senior executives and their teams at some of the top fortune brands and fast growing SMEs.
Now, he’s thrilled to also be building a private, members only community curated exclusively for Senior Leaders that helps them connect, give, grow, and continue to find ways to enrich their lives and careers.
