Adam breaks down his four phase framework, including identity work, getting your first one on one clients, creating a one to many offer, and expanding through books, stages, podcasts, and visibility. Along the way, he explains why many coaches stay stuck, how to find the right avatar, and why your past role shouldn’t define your future work.A big part of this conversation focuses on imposter syndrome and self doubt. Adam shares why he sees imposter syndrome as a sign of inauthenticity in some cases, and a signal to grow in others.
