Well it's been a minute since the two of us sat down and had a chat. A lot has happened and changed in both our world's and like everyone, we're trying navigate the constant curve balls life is throwing in our direction. But that's also the fun of it. In this episode, Adam shares the story about that one time a spontaneous trip to New York went from 6 days to 6 weeks and how when fate and opportunity came knocking, he took a leap of faith. We cover a lot in this episode when it comes to ways of putting yourself out there and making friends in new places. Have a listen and we hope you enjoy!

This week's guest is one of our favourite humans, most know her as Jenna or by her Instagram @loveludie. Jenna has some of the most interesting (and hilarious) stories about how curiosity and imagination led her to be a shop owner, a candle maker, and finally, a renowned artist working and collaborating with some pretty major brands.  But although the highs may seem all well and good, it hasn't come without some extreme lows. We explore some of these in this episode as well as how to move through the good, the bad and the ugly when life keeps throwing you curveballs. 

Our next guest is someone whose energy is so infectious you can't help but smile around her. Pernilla's love of creative expression began when she was a young girl who loved dancing. Her career as a professional dancer brought her to LA where she began to fall in love with overall health and wellness. This is what led her to starting a YouTube channel and why she is on a mission to help people create a happier life. How does she do that? By creating content that focuses on health and wellness across her social platforms ranging from YouTube, TikTok and Instagram. As well as her podcast, Challenge Your Norm. In this episode, we discuss everything from creating real, authentic and engaging content for an audience that is yours and how to find your voice in a saturated market. Pernilla shares all her tips on how to grow any platform your on in a way that doesn't involve selling your soul in the process. 

In today's episode, Adam speaks to Thatcher who is a guy that's not afraid to take a risk and a chance on himself. 11 years ago he bought a bar and turned it into a thriving business in New York City.  This episode explores what happens when you combine a dream with the desire and intention to just go for it. After all, no risk, no story right?

Today’s episode guest is a guy who went from nature photographer to podcaster and philosophy educator. He managed to combine his passion for landscape photography and learning of stoic teachings to amass a following of over 180k. How’d he do it? Well, listen to find out.

This week's guest is a woman who has a lifetime of stories to share. Prasiddha is a Dharmic Healer and coach who teaches Eastern Philosophy through the spiritual healing sciences of Yoga, Ayurveda & Tantra. After she spent two years in an Ashram in India she saw it as the experience that changed her life forever. It awoke something within her that has now enabled her to empower other people to release what is no longer serving them and become who it is they have always been. This chat between Adam and Prasiddha is an insightful look into mindfulness, ayurvedic practices, and spirituality.

This week's guest is nonother than Max Lowenstein or as the Instagram world knows, him @healingmotions. Max who is a registered dietician nutritionist with a master's degree in clinical nutrition spends most of his time researching and learning about how to live a well-nourished purposeful life.

This episode is filled with loads of stories and ways in which she herself overcame the feeling of rejection after multiple attempts at entering MUA as well as what she hopes to do with her title in the future.  We loved having her on the show and having her share her experiences and stories.  See you back here same place, same time next week.
