Built to Last

Adrian & Kate Addamo

Built to Last exists to challenge the way you think, so you can change the way you live. Burnt out. Unfulfilled. People-pleasing your way through life and wondering when it became about everyone else but you. It's time to stop shrinking yourself to fit a mould that was never yours. Built to Last is about unlearning what isn't working and rebuilding from the ground up, on foundations built to last. Hosted by Adrian and Kate Addamo, husband and wife, it's a fortnightly conversation about the real stuff — health, relationships, business and the way we think about all of it. Not surface-level tips or band-aid fixes. Just lived experience, honest perspective and the kind of grounded insight that actually shifts something in you. Energy. Connection. A business that lights you up. Relationships built on love and teamwork. A body that feels good. A life that is genuinely, unapologetically yours. That's the real thing. And when you have it, you'll feel the ripple effect in every area of your life. Kate is a mentor and retreat host dedicated to helping women build a life and business on their own terms, who has walked through burnout, hormonal health challenges and the grief of losing her mum to breast cancer and come out the other side with a deeply human approach to how we live and work. Adrian is a holistic performance coach and ultra-athlete who spent over two decades in the corporate world before choosing a different way. He works with high-performers, teams and business owners to close the gap between where they are and where they're capable of going, through workshops, immersive retreats and one-on-one coaching rooted in mindset, energy and what it actually means to thrive. Together, they bring both sides of the conversation. The masculine and the feminine. The strategic and the deeply human. Two people who have done the work and aren't afraid to talk about it honestly. It's time to think differently, live more intentionally and build something that lasts. The work starts here. And it starts with you. ________________________ Where you can find us  Website: theaddamos.com Instagram: @builttolastpodcast_ YouTube: @theaddamos  Pinterest: au.pinterest.com/TheAddamos    Connect with Adrian Addamo  Instagram: @adrianaddamo  Website: adrianaddamo.com    Connect with Kate Addamo  Instagram: @kateaddamo  Website: kateaddamo.com

    What It Actually Takes to Grow In Business And Leadership

    Across both of our businesses, we work with a lot of passionate, driven people. And for so many of them, especially when they first come to us, the feeling is the same. Overwhelmed, trapped inside the day-to-day, producing work for clients but never quite getting ahead. The team energy is off, the leadership feels hard and the growth they want keeps getting pushed back because there's just no breathing room. The work itself was never the problem. It's everything that's been left to crumble around it because the foundations were never really put in place. In this episode, we're talking about exactly those gaps and how they're stopping real growth inside businesses and teams.   We talk about what happens when the doing takes over and the business side gets left behind, why so many leaders are worn out trying to keep their teams going and what's actually going on when the energy and culture in a team starts to drop. We also get into something we see a lot, the resistance to asking for help, and why having someone look honestly at your foundations is so often the thing that finally shifts things. If you're building a business or leading a team and it feels harder than it should right now, this one's for you. It'll help you work out what's getting in the way and where to start. ___________________ The Amplify Workshop Series is Adrian's hands-on, immersive workshop experience for leaders, managers and teams. Built around the four pillars of culture, leadership, sales and wellness, every session is tailored to your team and designed to shift energy, spark real conversations and leave people with a clear plan they can act on straight away.

    Burnout. The Root Cause Nobody's Talking About

    Burnt out, overwhelmed and not entirely sure why? Most conversations about burnout stop at the surface. Too much on your plate, not enough sleep, overcommitted and under-rested. All true. But in our experience, that's rarely where the real answer lives. Today, we go a lot deeper than that. We get into the root cause that actually sits underneath the exhaustion, the things we've both had to look at honestly in our own lives and the patterns we keep seeing come up again and again. It's a conversation we've wanted to have for a while and we think it's going to hit close to home. We talk about the fear of judgment that's quietly driving more decisions than most of us want to admit, the identity piece that sits underneath so much of it and the one question nobody asked us growing up that changes everything. There's also something we cover that doesn't get talked about nearly enough and it might be the most important part of all. If you've been pushing through and wondering why nothing's shifting, this one's for you. ___________________ Where you can find us Website: theaddamos.com Instagram: @builttolastpodcast_ YouTube: @theaddamos Pinterest: au.pinterest.com/TheAddamos ___________________ Connect with Adrian Addamo Instagram: @adrianaddamo Website: adrianaddamo.com ___________________ Connect with Kate Addamo Instagram: @kateaddamo Website: kateaddamo.com ___________________ Share the love Leave a review on Apple Podcasts Leave a rating on Spotify Subscribe over on YouTube Screenshot and tag us on Instagram

    The Story Behind Built to Last

    Welcome to episode one of Built to Last. We're Adrian and Kate Addamo, husband and wife, holistic performance coach and business mentor and two people who've spent a lot of years figuring out a different way to live and work. In this first episode, we're sharing the story behind Built to Last, how the name came about, what brought us both here and why we decided to do this together. We've both experienced burnout, identity shifts and a lot of unlearning. We've questioned things most people don't give themselves permission to question and we've rebuilt from the ground up in more ways than one, in our health, our home, our relationship and our businesses. This podcast is where we share what that's actually looked like and how you can start bringing that into your own life too. In Kate's work with women, she's seeing it more than ever. Women are carrying the mental load, building businesses, managing households and holding everyone else together, all while quietly losing themselves in the process. Women who have spent so long people-pleasing and shrinking themselves that they've completely disconnected from what they actually want. Adrian is seeing the other side of that. Men who are doing everything they were told would bring fulfilment, working hard, providing, succeeding and getting there, only to find that something still feels missing. Men who want to show up as better leaders, better husbands, better fathers, but haven't yet found the tools or the space to look honestly at how they're living. This podcast isn't about the shoulds. It's an honest conversation about health, the way we live and the businesses we're building. The kind of conversation that stays with you and actually shifts something. You don't have to have it figured out to be here. You just have to be open to a different way. It's time to build something intentional that lasts. ________________________ Where you can find us Website: theaddamos.com Instagram: @builttolastpodcast_ YouTube: @theaddamos Pinterest: au.pinterest.com/TheAddamos Connect with Adrian Addamo Instagram: @adrianaddamo Website: adrianaddamo.com Connect with Kate Addamo Instagram: @kateaddamo Website: kateaddamo.com Share the love Leave a review on Apple Podcasts Leave a rating on Spotify Screenshot and tag us on Instagram
