Built to Last

Adrian Addamo

How do you build a successful life without losing yourself along the way? We're all building something. A business. A career. A relationship. Better health. More confidence. A life that feels like our own. Whatever it is, what we build is only ever as strong as the person building it. That's why Built to Last starts with you. Hosted by holistic performance coach Adrian Addamo, Built to Last is grounded in the belief that before you can lead a team, a business or anyone else, you have to lead yourself. Drawing on more than 20 years leading teams, building high-performing sales cultures and coaching leaders, business owners and individuals, Adrian shares practical lessons that help people lead themselves first. Each fortnight, you'll hear solo episodes alongside conversations with world-class leaders, athletes, entrepreneurs and everyday people with extraordinary stories who share the moments that shaped them, the setbacks they faced, the lessons they learned and what it really takes to keep growing. The conversations span leadership, business, health, performance, relationships and life because none of those things happens in isolation. They all influence each other and they all start with you. Built to Last exists to challenge the way you think, so you can change the way you live. You are client zero. Lead yourself well and build a life that's truly Built to Last. ________________________ Where You Can Find Me Website: adrianaddamo.com Instagram: @adrianaddamo Instagram: @builttolastpodcast_

    Kate With Intention: Following Your Intuition and Choosing Courage (Big Announcement)

    This is a deeply personal episode and one I never expected to record. Over the past few months, I've been making some big changes behind the scenes in my business and my life. Some have been easy. Others have asked me to let go of things I genuinely love. But through all of it, I've kept coming back to what feels right for me now. Today, I'm sharing the journey that's led me here, why I've been creating more space in this season and what it looks like to trust your intuition over what you think you ‘should’ be doing. We talk about resistance, having the courage to make changes and choosing what feels right even when you don't know exactly what comes next. If you've been feeling that little nudge that something in your life, business or relationships needs to change, I hope this conversation reminds you that it's okay to listen to it. We're allowed to change, to outgrow things and to choose a different direction when something no longer feels right. ___________________ Where You Can Find Us Website: theaddamos.com Instagram: @builttolastpodcast_ YouTube: @theaddamos Pinterest: au.pinterest.com/TheAddamos Read the journal post https://theaddamos.com/Intuition-Choosing-Courage ___________________ Connect with Kate Addamo Instagram: @kateaddamo Substack: @kateaddamo Website: kateaddamo.com ___________________ Connect with Adrian Addamo Instagram: @adrianaddamo Website: adrianaddamo.com ___________________ Share the love Leave a review on Apple Podcasts Leave a rating on Spotify Screenshot and tag us on Instagram

    Everything Changes When You Trust Yourself

    The way we see ourselves quietly shapes everything. It affects the decisions we make, the boundaries we hold, the risks we take and how we show up in our lives, relationships, businesses and work. When self-trust is shaky, it can look like overwhelm, overgiving, second-guessing ourselves or staying stuck in patterns that don’t serve us. In this episode, we talk about self-trust, identity and what happens when the version of ourselves we have been living as no longer fits. We share some of what we are both moving through right now and how confidence is built through small actions, highest-self reflections and learning to listen to ourselves again. This is a conversation about coming back to ourselves, getting curious about what needs to change and taking one small step towards the life and work we actually want to build. ___________________ Start creating a business that feels calmer, clearer and more sustainable from the inside out with The Intentional Business Reset.

    Adrian Unfiltered: How High-Performance Cultures Are Built

    Have you ever felt like you're carrying the performance of your entire team? No matter how hard you work, it feels like everything depends on you. If you're not in the room, standards slip. If you're away, things start to unravel. It's easy to assume you need better people or tighter control, but what if the real issue isn't your team at all? In this episode, Adrian shares the six shifts that changed the way he leads. Drawing on more than 20 years in leadership, he unpacks some of the biggest mistakes leaders make, why they happen and the practical shifts that help build a team that takes ownership and performs because they want to, not because they have to. Building a high-performing team isn't about doing more or pushing harder. Sometimes it's about getting out of your own way, changing your approach and giving your people the confidence to step up. __________________ If you're ready to start putting these ideas into practice, I've created a free resource to help. The Performance Culture Playbook breaks down these six shifts into practical actions you can apply straight away with your team. If you're looking to take it a step further, the Amplify Workshop Series goes deeper into leadership, culture, wellbeing and sales, giving your team the tools and strategies to build lasting performance from the inside out. __________________ Where You Can Find Us Website: theaddamos.com Instagram: @builttolastpodcast_ YouTube: @theaddamos Pinterest: au.pinterest.com/TheAddamos Read the journal post https://theaddamos.com/high-performance-cultures ___________________ 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

    The Shift That Makes Selling Feel Easier

    Most people think they're bad at sales. They freeze before a call, talk themselves out of following up and don't ask for the sale, convince themselves they're "just not a salesperson" and leave it at that. But being bad at sales is rarely the real problem. More often than not, people are focused on the wrong thing because sales was never about you. It's about the person in front of you and the problem they've come to you to solve. In this episode, we talk about what really holds people back in sales, from the fear of rejection to the assumptions we make about how people buy, why a process matters and how shifting your perspective can change the way you sell. Between us, we've worked in sales for a long time now as business owners and as employees, across both product and service-based businesses. We each bring a different perspective, shaped by our own experiences. ___________________    Download The Intentional Business Reset and start creating a business that feels calmer, clearer and more sustainable from the inside out.

    Kate With Intention: Choosing Intention Over Conditioning

    Welcome to Kate With Intention, my own space within Built to Last. In these conversations, we'll explore what it means to build a successful business without sacrificing your health, values, home life or yourself along the way. Today, we're talking about the 'shoulds', the conditioning and the stories we tell ourselves that are running the show in our businesses and our lives and how to become more intentional. Years of working for other people taught us that leaving on time meant leaving early, that being worthy meant overgiving and that rest had to be earned. We carry it without realising, still pushing ourselves when our bodies are saying slow down, still measuring our worth by how much we do. So many people end up running their businesses the same way, doing things for everyone but themselves. It often comes back to a lack of self-worth and self-trust. I lived with that for years, right up to the burnout that forced me to pay attention. It doesn't have to be this way. You're allowed to make decisions that support you, no matter what anyone else thinks. I'm more at peace now than I've been in years and I see the same shift in the women and men I work with. They're becoming happier and healthier, making the moves they've been stuck on for years and finally choosing themselves. That's what choosing intention looks like. ___________________  Want support in shifting from reactive to proactive and creating a sustainable business?

    Adrian Unfiltered: The Confidence Game

    Adrian here, with the first-ever Adrian Unfiltered episode. Same Built to Last podcast, just my solo space to speak openly about the stuff behind performance. The wins, the lessons, the patterns and the pressure. Grounded in lived experience and what it actually takes to build a life that feels good on the inside, not just on paper. I'll be honest, I was nervous recording this one. Which felt like the right place to start, because today is about what's going on underneath that feeling and what it actually takes to build confidence when you don't have it. No fake-it-till-you-make-it. The real work. For a long time, I didn't have it. Skinny kid, some questionable fashion choices, avoiding rejection wherever I could, dodging anything that might dent my self-belief. Like so many people, confidence just didn't come naturally for me. I built it one small step at a time. Today, I get into the fear of judgment, of failure, of rejection that quietly ran my life for years and what helped me build it from the ground up. Why your identity should sit with the action and not the outcome and the six words a senior leader said to me that I carried for the next 20 years. ___________________ Where You Can Find Us Website: theaddamos.com Instagram: @builttolastpodcast_ YouTube: @theaddamos Pinterest: au.pinterest.com/TheAddamos Read the journal post https://theaddamos.com/the-confidence-game ___________________ Connect with Adrian Addamo Instagram: @adrianaddamo Website: adrianaddamo.com Limitless Retreat Waitlist: adrianaddamo.com/the-retreat Amplify Workshops for Teams & Leaders: adrianaddamo.com/amplify 1:1 Performance Coaching: adrianaddamo.com/the-difference ___________________ 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

    What Becomes Possible When You Create Space

    Something happens when you finally give yourself space. The noise settles, the clarity arrives and you start to remember who you are. In this episode, we share what we've witnessed across seven retreats and why the people who show up always say the same thing afterwards. From men finding calm they hadn't felt in years to women saying they trusted themselves and each other again, what unfolds in these spaces is something that stays with you long after you leave. And this is exactly why retreats exist. Because sometimes you can't create that space on your own and having somewhere to go, where everything is held for you, makes all the difference. Interested in a retreat? Join our waitlists: Adrian — Limitless Men's Retreat www.adrianaddamo.com/the-retreat Kate — Unfold: The Retreat https://kateaddamo.com/retreats  If you'd love us to create a retreat together for men and women, let us know.

    The Holistic Overhaul That Will Change Your Home And Health

    The average woman puts over 200 chemicals on her body before she leaves the house in the morning. Men are carrying a chemical load too, through the aftershave, the deodorant and the synthetic underwear worn all day. Most of us don't think twice about what's in the products we use every day. The washing liquid, the deodorant, the candles and what we cook with. We just buy what we've always bought without a second thought. Today, we're sharing the practical ways we've started making changes in our home and heading towards a more holistic and low-tox life. The swaps we've made room by room, product by product, over the last decade or so. The kitchen, the laundry, the bathroom, the bedroom and the things we put in and on our bodies every day. We also touch on kinesiology, cycle planning and human design and why these have been just as important to us as making changes in our home. ___________________      Where You Can Find Us  Website: theaddamos.com  Instagram: @builttolastpodcast_  YouTube: @theaddamos  Pinterest: au.pinterest.com/TheAddamos    Read the journal post at www.theaddamos.com/holistic-home-health ___________________      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
