#101: Get to Know People
It’s time to make connections with new people. In this episode of the Decide Your Legacy Podcast, I explore the idea of reaching out to new people and turning them into friends or contacts. We delve into how we can view new faces as interesting people and opportunities for growth. I share experiences where I did something uncomfortable, which resulted in forming deeper connections with others. We will also discuss how individuals can use a 'how can I help?' mindset to build connections. Moreover, I explain how viewing conflict as positive can be beneficial to creating new relationships. Through personal anecdotes and insights, I emphasize the importance of taking action, challenging personal mindsets, and helping others to facilitate transformation and personal growth.

#98: Obstacles to Seeing a Brighter Future
Sometimes things get in the way of seeing what is possible. I used to have a great vision for a bright future back in 2015, but challenges I faced put me in survival mode and I lost sight of it. You may feel the same way but today we are going to break down those barriers together. On this episode we discuss:
The myths that we believe
The false belief that we don’t need to achieve our goals or that your life isn’t in your own hands
Vision gives you traction in your life
The emotional baggage you carry
Buy a journal and carry it around
Dealing with self-pity
How mindset coaching works
How holding on to grief or trauma limits your future
Don’t get stuck looking in the past
Finding time to dream
How the wrong people blind us from what is possible

#97: You Won't Want to Hear This
Many times when I’m speaking with a client I have to engage in courageous honesty. People will avoid things that are uncomfortable truths in their life. Today we are going to get into several key items you won’t want to hear (but can be incredibly powerful). On this episode we discuss:
The one phrase I often preface statements with is…
What are you currently avoiding
The impact of avoiding things
Lower your expectations
Stop giving your emotions power (but be aware of them)
Peace comes after courageous action
Avoidance will end up destroying your life
Live the life you were meant to live
When people show you who they are, believe them
Be willing to identify the red flags
Happiness is not something you can find
Delayed gratification is the name of the game

Customer Reviews
Meaningful & Effective Coaching
I have searched through literally hundreds of podcasts for emotional and mental health support. Adam asks the questions and actually provides the tools that transforms and heals with REAL content. On demand help that is sure to help you too!
Adam is the real deal!
My sister found Adam through a basic on-line search. I think she was tired of hearing me complain about my current and past experiences with Life Coaching/Counseling. She checked out Adam's background and website and thought he may be a good fit. My sister wasn't wrong, I don't have a large enough vocabulary to adequately describe just how amazing and impactfull Adam has been, how much better he is making my life. What I can do is strongly encourage you to listen to his podcast, that's all the proof you'll need.
Enjoying the podcast!
