How a backyard conversation sparked a multi-territory business with Adam Berryman

What happens when the business you built starts demanding a different version of you?On this episode of Bold Enough, Madeleine MacRae sits down with serial entrepreneur Adam Berryman to unpack his journey from corporate burnout to building and growing multiple franchise businesses. Adam shares how a conversation with his neighbor eventually became a business partnership, why franchising gave him the infrastructure he needed to move faster, and what he learned from holding onto the wrong people for too long.They explore one of the hardest parts of growth: letting go of work, roles, and even parts of your identity that helped you reach one level but may prevent you from reaching the next. Adam also shares why the right partner can accelerate growth, why accountability matters, and how he hopes to eventually build businesses that can acquire and operate companies without depending on him.The conversation ultimately comes back to a bigger question: Can you call yourself successful while still wanting more? For Adam, success means gratitude, growth, strong relationships, refusing to settle, building something meaningful, and helping other entrepreneurs rise along the way.Adam Berrymanhttps://franchise.budgetblinds.com/LinkedInMadeleine MacRaeWebsite - https://mmmacrae.com/making-changes-training-motivating/LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/macraemadeleineInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/madeleine.macrae/Book – The Tenacious Pursuit of Peace: Where to Go When Success Isn’t Enough
