The business was working. Adam was running on empty.
A year after leaving his dream job to become a founder, Adam Williams had built a thriving podcast studio... But behind the success were relentless hours, no proper break and a business that still depended on him giving everything.
In Episode 114, Adam reveals the moment he realised that although the business was working, the way he was working wasn’t. We discuss the reality of entrepreneurship, the warning signs of founder burnout, learning to delegate, escaping the founder bottleneck and what happens when your identity becomes tied to your work.
Adam also reflects on ambition, self-acceptance, friendships and losing his mum to cancer at 19; including how grief shaped his perspective on mortality, gratitude and living more fully.
An honest conversation about entrepreneur burnout, founder mental health, starting a business, work-life balance, identity, resilience and building a successful company without losing the life outside it.
