Mentorship, Life Themes, and Firing Yourself with Adam Anderson

The Meaning Movement: Rediscover your Passion, Avoid Burnout, and Do Work You Love.

I needed today's conversation so much. Both this interview and the last one we release came while I was in a bit of an inflection point professionally with one of my other projects. As many of you know, I have run a few businesses. One of which was in a bit of turmoil. I'm happy to say now, that we came out the other side very well. If you want to know more about my other project, subscribe over at themeaningmovement.com. But as i said before the last episode, this felt like a case where, as the saying goes, when the student is ready the teacher appears. And boy was I ready. Adam Andersen has done a lot of great things. He's starting over 20 companies, had multiple exits and written a bunch of books. We talk about transition points, and dig deep into the concept of mentorship — something that's really important to my life. And something that's been instrumental in his success.

In this episode you'll learn:

• What Adam does
• Some of his transitions throughout his journey
• How he lost his job
• Why good people still get fired
• How he got his first client
