Author & Executive Coach Adam Tilove on Why Brilliant People Can't Get Started

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with author, executive coach, educator, and founder of NeuroDiscipline, Adam Tilove. Adam is the author of the book Split Second: Stop Stalling, Start Doing, a groundbreaking exploration of the half-second between deciding and acting—a moment where countless dreams, projects, and ambitions either move forward or quietly disappear. A former Head of School and Certified Executive Coach, Adam works with high-performing professionals who often find themselves trapped by procrastination, perfectionism, and unfinished ideas. His NeuroDiscipline framework helps people understand why even the most talented and intelligent individuals struggle to take action and how they can reclaim momentum. One of the most powerful moments in Adam's story came when he rediscovered a second-grade report card from 1980. His teacher had written: "Brilliant projects falling by the wayside." Forty-six years later, the observation still resonated deeply. That realization helped inspire a lifetime of learning, growth, and ultimately the creation of a system designed to help others overcome the same challenges. Today, Adam is three years sober and dedicates his work to helping professionals stop stalling, build consistency, and finish what matters most. From his base in Overland Park, Kansas, we discuss personal transformation, executive coaching, sobriety, productivity, leadership, psychology, performance, and the practical strategies behind creating meaningful change.
