Adam Japko Discusses Risk and Positivity

From his role as both managing partner of New England Home magazine and co-founder of the Luxury Home Design Summit, Adam Japko is a force in Boston’s build-design community. With personal interests like fishing and wine tasting rounding him out, Adam is a genuine one-of-a-kind presence. If you’ve ever been lucky enough to hear him present, you know he’s not only comfortable in front of an audience, he’s a serious thinker with a great sense of humor.At this past Luxury Home Design Summit in Chatham, MA, we recorded one of his presentations—two dramatic example stories involving risk, along with one story about positivity. As usual, we played these clips on our boombox and asked Adam to elaborate on what he said. He did not disappoint.We also tried to get Adam to share more about his love of music, but all we got was more about the Grateful Dead…and it blew our minds. Original presentation: Luxury Home Design Summit, Chatham, MA | May 20-22, 2025
