Finding Purpose

In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Justin Sanchez—actor, creative, and one of the executive producers behind the podcast—for a conversation about taking risks early, trusting your path, and learning that purpose often finds you before you fully understand it. Raised in White Plains, New York and the Town of Greenburgh, Justin grew up in a close-knit community shaped by resilience, family, and the example of a single mother who never gave up. Watching his mother raise four children while overcoming her own challenges taught him what discipline, sacrifice, and perseverance truly look like. Her belief in him would ultimately help shape the boldest decision of his life. At a pivotal moment, Justin made the decision to leave traditional school behind and pursue acting full time—taking a leap of faith that led him to land a lead role in the Apple TV+ series Ghostwriter. What looked like overnight success was actually years of auditions, rejection, persistence, and trusting that the work would eventually pay off. This conversation dives into family, fatherhood, identity, rejection, discipline, sacrifice, and what it means to keep going even when the path doesn't look traditional. It's a reminder that sometimes the biggest risk is not betting on yourself.

In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Linda Cicero, founder of Life in Color, certified fitness professional, nutrition coach, behavior change specialist, hormonal health educator, and creative whose work helps women redefine health on their own terms. With over 20 years of experience in wellness, Linda's journey goes far beyond food and fitness. Her story is rooted in healing perfectionism, overcoming disordered eating, rebuilding her relationship with her body, and learning how to trust herself again. What changed everything wasn't another diet or fitness routine—it was dance. What began as a quiet inner whisper to walk into a Fred Astaire dance studio became the portal that reconnected her to herself and ultimately changed the direction of her life. Through that experience, Linda realized purpose wasn't something tied to achievement, money, or checking boxes. It was something deeper—something rooted in joy, self-trust, and learning how to listen to what she calls "the whispers." This conversation explores perfectionism, shame, body image, social media, spirituality, and the courage it takes to stop living by someone else's definition of health and start defining your own. This is a conversation about freedom, self-acceptance, and remembering that your purpose may already be inside you—you just have to listen. What We Discuss How dance became the portal that changed Linda's life Perfectionism, overachieving, and the "good girl" mentality Healing disordered eating and rebuilding trust with her body How body image struggles often begin much earlier than we realize The role of hypnotherapy in reconnecting with younger versions of ourselves Why perfectionism and shame often live in the same house Learning to challenge the stories we tell ourselves The power of asking: "Is it true?" Why assumptions create unnecessary suffering Social media, comparison, and detoxing your digital inputs How movement, whole foods, hydration, and protein create downstream healing Listening to your intuition and trusting your inner voice Spirituality, gratitude, and creating quiet moments with yourself Why purpose often begins with a whisper, not a plan How to define health on your own terms instead of society's Why we need to stop taking ourselves so seriously About Linda Cicero Linda Cicero is the founder of Life in Color, a wellness and lifestyle brand centered around helping women break free from perfectionism, overwhelm, and self-doubt so they can create a healthier, more aligned life. She is a certified fitness professional, nutrition coach, behavior change specialist, hormonal health educator, and creative dancer who blends movement, mindset, and deep personal work to help clients reconnect with themselves. Her philosophy is simple: wellness should feel freeing—not restrictive. Through coaching, events, and community, Linda helps people uncover the stories keeping them stuck and empowers them to rewrite those narratives in alignment with who they truly are.

In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with husband-and-wife duo Val and Tatiana Meti, founders of Boost Bowls—a Connecticut-based smoothie and açaí brand built on consistency, hustle, and community. What started as an unexpected opportunity quickly turned into a full-scale entrepreneurial journey. From opening two businesses at once with no clear roadmap to building a multi-location brand, Val and Tatiana share what it really takes to create something meaningful from the ground up. Their story is rooted in resilience. As children of immigrants—Val arriving in the U.S. as a refugee from Kosovo and Tatiana immigrating from Brazil at a young age—they both grew up with a deep understanding of hard work, sacrifice, and the pursuit of a better life. Those early experiences shaped the mindset they carry into business today. This conversation goes beyond entrepreneurship. It's about partnership, navigating marriage while building a business, embracing risk, and understanding that purpose isn't always something you plan—it's something you grow into. What We Discuss Growing up as children of immigrants and how it shaped their work ethic Meeting after high school and building a 20+ year relationship The realities of running a business as a married couple How Boost Bowls started accidentally from a cycling studio concept Opening two businesses at once with no money and no blueprint The early grind—working multiple jobs while building the brand Sacrifice, loneliness, and the unseen side of entrepreneurship Why "failure" is really just a pivot toward something better The importance of roles, communication, and trust in partnership Balancing family life while scaling a business Creating systems, processes, and leadership within a growing company The truth about entrepreneurship vs. social media perception Building a brand centered around community, not just product The mindset behind Risk x Hustle and sharing real stories Whether purpose is found or built through action About Val & Tatiana Meti Val and Tatiana Meti are the founders of Boost Bowls, a fast-growing smoothie and açaí brand with multiple locations across Connecticut. Val serves as the operational force behind the business, leading systems, team execution, and in-store experience, while Tatiana focuses on branding, marketing, and strategic growth. Together, they've built a business rooted in clean ingredients, strong culture, and community-driven spaces—designed to be more than just a place to eat, but a place to connect. In addition to Boost Bowls, they co-host the Risk x Hustle Podcast, where they share honest conversations around entrepreneurship, growth, and the realities of building something from the ground up.

In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Trey Laird, CEO and founder of The Lighthouse Sober Living and Lighthouse Recovery Coaching 365, for a powerful conversation on transformation, recovery, and what it truly means to live a purpose-driven life. Trey's journey is one of reinvention. After spending over two decades on Wall Street as an equities trader, building a life that looked successful from the outside, Trey found himself battling addiction behind the scenes. What began with opiate pain medication eventually evolved into a daily cycle of substance use that impacted his family, relationships, and sense of self. In 2008, Trey made the decision to seek treatment—marking the beginning of a recovery journey that would ultimately reshape his entire life. What followed wasn't just sobriety—it was transformation. Through community, honesty, and a commitment to growth, Trey not only rebuilt his life but discovered a deeper calling: helping others do the same. In 2016, he founded The Lighthouse, creating a space for men—and later women—to recover while still engaging in real life, work, family, and responsibility. This conversation dives deep into the realities of addiction, the power of community, the evolution from consequence-driven to purpose-driven recovery, and how service becomes the foundation for lasting fulfillment. What We Discuss Trey's early life, family dynamics, and the role of community and friendships His 22-year career on Wall Street and the culture surrounding it The progression of addiction and how it quietly took hold Entering treatment in 2008 and the early days of recovery The power of honesty and transparency in the workplace How sharing his story created deeper connection and accountability The importance of community in sustaining recovery Why recovery is not one-size-fits-all and looks different for everyone The difference between consequence-driven and purpose-driven sobriety Building a life centered around service and helping others The role of fun and fulfillment in early recovery Developing a "board of directors" and surrounding yourself with the right people Navigating resentment, forgiveness, and self-awareness Spirituality vs. religion and the role of faith in recovery Emotional regulation and letting go of the need to control outcomes The power of vulnerability and living authentically How purpose often finds you—not the other way around About Trey Laird Trey Laird is the CEO and founder of The Lighthouse Sober Living and Lighthouse Recovery Coaching 365, organizations dedicated to helping individuals build sustainable, purpose-driven lives in recovery. Before entering the recovery space, Trey spent 22 years on Wall Street as an equities trader, working at firms including Bankers Trust and Lazard. Today, he lives in New Canaan, Connecticut with his wife and five children. He serves as a deacon at the New Canaan Congregational Church, is an avid marathoner and golfer, and sits on the advisory board of Recovery.com. Trey travels nationally speaking on addiction, treatment, and recovery—advocating for what he calls "living recovery out loud."

In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Dr. Tara Chalakani, a nationally recognized mental health expert, CEO, licensed psychotherapist, and thought leader with over 30 years of experience at the intersection of healthcare, leadership, and personal transformation. Dr. Tara's journey is rooted in resilience. Raised in Newark, New Jersey, she came from humble beginnings, navigating early life challenges that would ultimately become the fuel for her growth. Rather than allowing her circumstances to define her, she made a conscious decision to use her experiences as a catalyst—committing herself to education, service, and helping others heal. Today, she leads a $39 million behavioral health nonprofit, runs a thriving psychotherapy practice, and co-hosts the Well Off Podcast. Her work blends evidence-based clinical practice with spiritual grounding, helping individuals reconnect with their truth, process trauma, and step into more aligned versions of themselves. This conversation explores the depth of healing—from trauma and identity to leadership and purpose—and highlights the ongoing nature of personal growth. As Dr. Tara emphasizes, the work is never done. Growth is a lifelong commitment. What We Discuss Growing up in Newark and using adversity as fuel for growth The difference between living as a victim vs. using your story as power The importance of starting each day with intention, gratitude, and spiritual grounding Adam's recovery journey and the role of spirituality in sobriety Emotional processing, grief, and why there's no "right way" to feel Why curiosity—not judgment—is key in healing Understanding EMDR therapy and how it helps reprocess trauma The importance of self-awareness in therapy and leadership Learning not to take things personally and separating identity from others' behavior Breaking generational patterns and redefining family dynamics Forgiveness, compassion, and seeing parents as people—not just authority figures Leadership lessons from running a large nonprofit organization The difference between purpose-driven work and profit-driven work The importance of presence, transparency, and communication in leadership Balancing career, motherhood, and personal well-being Why true connection cannot be replaced by social media Building a life rooted in purpose, not just a paycheck About Dr. Tara Chalakani Dr. Tara Chalakani is a CEO, licensed psychotherapist, and nationally recognized mental health expert with over three decades of experience in healthcare and executive leadership. She leads a multi-million dollar behavioral health nonprofit, operates a private psychotherapy practice, and co-hosts the Well Off Podcast alongside Gina Simm. With degrees in nursing, psychology, mental health counseling, and a doctorate in psychology, Dr. Tara integrates science, spirituality, and trauma-informed care—including EMDR—to help individuals heal, grow, and step into their power. She is also the founder of New Horizon Coaching, where she works with women to rewrite their stories and create meaningful, purpose-driven lives.

Final Reflection Healing isn't about arriving somewhere. It's about continuing to show up—with curiosity, honesty, and a willingness to grow. Your past doesn't define you. It informs you. And when you choose to use it as fuel instead of a limitation, it becomes the very thing that leads you to your purpose.

In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Seth Stahlmann, Regional Director at Tweeds Clothier in Rye, New York, for a conversation rooted in discipline, responsibility, and commitment. Seth's story is anything but conventional. Raised in Sarasota, Florida as one of seven children in a family with limited means, he began working at just 12 years old—quickly learning the value of effort, time, and self-worth. By 14, he was balancing college coursework with work and creative pursuits, and by 18, he married his middle school sweetheart. A year later, he became a father—stepping fully into adulthood with purpose and urgency. Today, Seth leads the Tweeds location in Rye, working with high-performing professionals and entrepreneurs to help them look and feel their best through bespoke tailoring. But this conversation goes far beyond suits. This is about identity. This is about commitment. This is about what happens when responsibility becomes the foundation for purpose. Seth shares how fatherhood pushed him into entrepreneurship, why he walked away from traditional career paths, and how building something meaningful often requires betting on yourself before you feel ready. What We Discuss Growing up as one of seven children and developing patience, resilience, and responsibility Starting work at 12 years old and entering the digital marketing world early The lesson of "fast, good, cheap — pick two" and how it shaped his mindset Why authenticity matters more than ever in today's digital landscape Moving from Florida to New York and building a business in a new market The importance of community, relationships, and networking in business growth Why entrepreneurship provided more alignment than a traditional corporate path Becoming a father at a young age and how it reshaped his priorities Marriage, commitment, and building a life with intention Seth's journey with faith and returning to it during a time of success The psychology of image, confidence, and how people present themselves Why how you show up physically can impact how others perceive your value The role of trust and relationships in building a sustainable business Why purpose often evolves—and sometimes pushes you in unexpected directions Key Themes From the Conversation Commitment Creates Depth One of the most powerful takeaways from this conversation is Seth's perspective on commitment. In a world where many people avoid long-term decisions—whether in relationships, careers, or personal growth—Seth emphasizes that depth only comes from staying with something long enough to truly understand it. Without commitment, experiences remain surface-level. With commitment, they become transformative. Responsibility as a Catalyst for Purpose Fatherhood became a defining turning point in Seth's life. It forced him to move beyond exploration and into execution—finding a path that not only fulfilled him but allowed him to provide for his family. Rather than seeing responsibility as a burden, Seth embraced it as direction. Authenticity Over Perfection From his early days in digital marketing to his current work in tailoring, Seth highlights a core truth: People don't connect with perfection—they connect with authenticity. In a world filled with noise, shortcuts, and surface-level content, genuine expression and real craftsmanship stand out. Image, Identity, and Confidence Through his work at Tweeds, Seth has developed a deep understanding of how presentation impacts perception. While clothing does not define who someone is, it can influence how they are received—and in many cases, how they feel about themselves. Confidence is internal, but how you present yourself can either reinforce or undermine it. About Seth Stahlmann Seth Stahlmann is the Regional Director at Tweeds Clothier, a bespoke tailoring company specializing in custom garments for professionals, entrepreneurs, and individuals who value craftsmanship and personal style. With a background in digital marketing and years of experience across multiple industries, Seth brings a relationship-driven approach to his work—focusing on trust, quality, and helping clients present themselves with confidence. He currently leads operations in Rye, New York.

This special episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast features the first-ever Purpose Panels Wellness Edition, recorded live in front of an audience. Purpose Panels were created as an extension of the podcast — an opportunity to bring meaningful conversations into a shared physical space where community, vulnerability, and growth can happen in real time. After recording his 100th episode, Adam wanted to create an in-person experience where people could connect, share their journeys, and learn from leaders who are living with intention in the wellness space. The theme of the conversation centers around the idea of "yet." A yet can represent a turning point in someone's life — a moment where they recognize something must change. That moment might feel negative in the moment, but it can also become the catalyst for transformation. Throughout the panel, each guest shares how their own personal "yet" moments shaped their careers, their approach to wellness, and their commitment to helping others live healthier, more intentional lives. This conversation explores the intersections of physical health, mental resilience, community, and purpose, highlighting how wellness is rarely a single discipline — it's the result of consistent habits, meaningful relationships, and the courage to make changes when life demands it. Panelists Nick Kausa Nick is the Director of HealthSpan at The Practice in Greenwich, where he focuses on evidence-based performance and longevity training designed to help people stay stronger for longer.

Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andrea.della.mura/ The DripBar Rye: https://www.instagram.com/thedripbar.rye/ What We Discuss The concept of "yet" and how pivotal life moments create opportunities for change The role wellness played in overcoming personal hardship Why community is one of the most powerful tools for long-term health The importance of sustainable habits over quick fixes How coaches and wellness professionals help people move past resistance The psychology behind motivation, discipline, and behavior change Why celebrating small wins is critical for long-term success The difference between looking fit and actually being healthy How nutrition, fitness, recovery, and preventative health work together Why purpose often emerges after life's most difficult challenges Key Themes From the Conversation The Power of "Yet" A "yet" represents a turning point — the moment someone recognizes something must change. For some people it's a health scare, a personal loss, burnout, or a realization that their current lifestyle is no longer sustainable. The panelists emphasize that these moments can either push us deeper into negative cycles or motivate us to seek support and create lasting change. Wellness Is a Long-Term Commitment Real growth rarely happens through dramatic overnight change. Instead, it's built through consistent habits, small victories, and long-term commitment to personal health. Whether it's nutrition, training, recovery, or mindset work, sustainable wellness comes from embracing the process — even when it's repetitive or uncomfortable. Community Accelerates Growth One of the most powerful takeaways from the panel is the role community plays in transformation. From run clubs to coaching relationships to wellness spaces like The DripBar, having people around you who support your journey can dramatically increase the likelihood of long-term success. Community provides accountability, encouragement, and a reminder that no one has to navigate their challenges alone. About Purpose Panels Purpose Panels are live events created by Adam as an extension of the Finding Purpose Podcast. These gatherings bring together leaders from different fields to have authentic conversations about growth, resilience, and the experiences that shape who we become. The goal is simple: Create spaces where people can learn, connect, and walk away with tools that help them move forward in their own lives. Future Purpose Panels will continue to explore themes around wellness, entrepreneurship, personal development, and recovery.

Final Reflection Wellness isn't just about physical health. It's about connection, accountability, purpose, and the willingness to grow through life's turning points. Sometimes the moment that feels like a setback becomes the exact catalyst needed to create meaningful change. And often, the first step toward that change is simply showing up.

Episode 100 of the Finding Purpose Podcast is a deeply personal milestone. Instead of interviewing a traditional guest, Adam invites someone who witnessed some of the most difficult chapters of his life—his former therapist, Sinead Murphy. Adam first met Sinead in 2012 after receiving a DUI and being court-mandated into an intensive outpatient program. Over the years that followed, she watched him navigate addiction, relapse, grief, and the complicated dynamics of family relationships. In this conversation, Adam opens the door to his recovery journey in a way he hasn't before—reflecting on the events that shaped him, the emotional turning points that forced him to confront himself, and the lessons that ultimately led him to build a life rooted in purpose. Together, Adam and Sinead unpack the psychology of addiction, the role of ego and resentment, and the difficult but transformative work of self-awareness. The conversation explores identity, forgiveness, family dynamics, and the long road toward accountability and healing. This episode offers listeners a rare look into Adam's past—from the perspective of someone who had a front-row seat to it—and highlights the powerful truth that recovery is not about perfection, but about honesty, humility, and growth. As Adam reflects, recovery ultimately became purpose-driven—transforming pain into a platform for meaningful conversations and helping others find their own path forward. What We Discuss Why Adam chose this conversation to mark the 100th episode milestone Meeting Sinead after a DUI and court-mandated treatment in 2012 Early perceptions: confidence, ego, and the insecurity underneath it How discovering he was adopted at 13 shaped Adam's identity and behavior Addiction as a coping mechanism for feeling different and disconnected The role of ego, resentment, and entitlement in delaying recovery Processing the grief of losing his mother while maintaining sobriety Why shame and secrecy can fuel addiction The importance of honesty and self-compassion in recovery Learning to replace destructive habits with purposeful living The shift from consequence-driven sobriety to purpose-driven recovery Why accountability and community are critical to long-term change Key Themes From the Conversation Addiction, Identity, and the Mask We Wear Sinead reflects on Adam's early persona—confident, charismatic, and larger than life—while recognizing it as a defense mechanism hiding insecurity and fear. Addiction often becomes a way to manage identity struggles, particularly when someone feels like they don't belong. Grief, Forgiveness, and Family Dynamics One of the most powerful moments in Adam's journey came during the final days of his mother's life, when a conversation about forgiveness helped release years of resentment. That moment became a turning point that allowed him to maintain sobriety through an incredibly painful chapter. The Role of Ego in Addiction Adam reflects on how ego and manipulation allowed him to avoid accountability for years. Recovery required confronting difficult truths, removing blame, and accepting responsibility for his own life. Purpose-Driven Recovery A major breakthrough came when Adam stopped pursuing sobriety only to avoid consequences and began pursuing it with a deeper purpose. That shift eventually led to the creation of the Finding Purpose Podcast—a platform dedicated to meaningful conversations about growth, identity, and resilience. About Sinead Murphy Sinead Murphy is a licensed therapist who has spent over two decades working with individuals struggling with addiction and mental health challenges. She previously worked in residential treatment and intensive outpatient programs before opening her own private practice. Throughout her career, she has helped thousands of individuals navigate recovery, trauma, and personal transformation. Her approach centers on compassion, accountability, and helping individuals develop the self-awareness needed to build healthier lives.

Final Reflection Episode 100 is more than a milestone—it's a full-circle moment. By inviting the therapist who helped guide him through some of his darkest periods, Adam offers listeners an honest and vulnerable look into the experiences that shaped him. The conversation serves as a reminder that recovery is not linear, healing takes time, and sometimes the most powerful growth comes from facing the parts of our story we once tried to hide.

In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Adam sits down with Andrea Della Mura — two-time breast cancer survivor, entrepreneur, mother, and owner of The DripBar Rye — to unpack resilience, surrender, entrepreneurship, and what it truly means to live with purpose. At just 24 years old, Andrea was diagnosed with breast cancer. Years later, a second diagnosis — discovered almost by accident through routine imaging and deeper pathology — likely saved her life. What could have been another chapter of fear instead became the beginning of her purpose-driven evolution. Today, Andrea channels her lived experience into proactive health, personalized wellness, and community-centered care through The DripBar in Rye, NY. But this episode goes far beyond IV vitamin therapy. This is about identity. This is about surrender. This is about finding purpose in the depths of adversity. What We Cover in This Episode Being diagnosed with breast cancer at 24 and navigating survival at a young age The life-saving second diagnosis discovered through microscopic testing The emotional toll of illness and learning to stop hiding Why surrender is not weakness — it's power Raising children after cancer and advocating for a son with autoimmune challenges Why "health is your wealth" isn't just a cliché The truth about vitamin D, magnesium, gut health, and proactive wellness Quick fixes vs. sustainable health practices Entrepreneurship as the ultimate personal development journey Investing her retirement to build The DripBar Building community through compassion and intentional leadership What purpose really means — and why it's often born in your lowest moments Key Takeaways Andrea shares something profound: purpose is rarely found in comfort. It's often discovered in the depths — when you surrender, strip away what no longer serves you, and listen to your intuition. She speaks openly about: Letting go of the need for approval Becoming worthy of success Leading with integrity Meeting people where they are And building a business rooted in impact — not ego This episode is a masterclass in resilience, faith, health advocacy, and entrepreneurial courage.

In this episode, Adam sits down with Christopher Gabriel, integrative health practitioner, certified wellness counselor, and founder of Life Science Performance. For over 20 years, Christopher has worked with high-performing executives, families, and individuals seeking more than generic health advice. His approach merges data-driven functional lab testing with timeless mind-body-spirit practices — focusing not on quick fixes, but on root cause healing. This conversation explores the intersection of health, faith, fear, resilience, nervous system regulation, and purpose. Christopher shares his unconventional upbringing — being homeschooled from fifth grade through high school in Southern California, skipping grades, and developing an early obsession with knowledge acquisition. Raised by a physician father, he was exposed to medicine early on — but his own path evolved into integrative health and performance optimization. Together, we dive into: ✨ The difference between spirituality, faith, and religion ✨ Why knowledge is ultimately a search for truth ✨ The nervous system and the biological science of fear ✨ Sympathetic vs. parasympathetic states and how they shape your life ✨ Heart Rate Variability (HRV) as a measurable indicator of stress and resilience ✨ The science of "I Am" statements and identity formation ✨ How ego protects identity — and when it becomes destructive ✨ Why purpose cannot be found in survival mode ✨ How trauma, loss, and fatherhood reshaped Christopher's emotional awareness ✨ Practical tools for stress recovery and nervous system regulation Christopher explains how fear drives sympathetic activation (fight-or-flight), and how most unhealthy coping mechanisms — addiction, escapism, isolation — stem from the body's attempt to feel safe. True resilience, he shares, is not about avoiding stress, but about how quickly we return to baseline. One of the most powerful themes in this episode is coherence — when the mind, body, and spirit are aligned. According to Christopher, purpose is not abstract. It is biological. When we are regulated, present, and free from chronic fear, we move from survival into thriving. This is a grounded and expansive conversation about identity, regulation, spirituality, and the measurable science behind well-being.

In this episode, Adam sits down with Fern Murray, interior designer, founder of Fern's Nest Interior Design, and creative force behind Social Tide, a boutique social media agency helping brands tell their stories with clarity and intention. Originally from England, Fern moved to the United States over a decade ago with what was meant to be a one-year adventure as an au pair. That year turned into a life. From navigating cultural shifts and personal growth, to building two businesses rooted in creativity and connection, Fern's journey is a powerful reminder that purpose often unfolds through unexpected reinvention. Fern opens up about growing up in England, her parents' influence (a builder father and teacher mother), and how early exposure to home renovation quietly shaped her passion for interior design. She shares the experience that accelerated her maturity — serving as emotional support for two young girls who had just lost their mother — and how that season reshaped her independence and resilience. We dive into: ✨ Moving from England to the U.S. and building a life from scratch ✨ Marriage, homesickness, and navigating identity across cultures ✨ The psychology of interior design — scale, color theory, and how spaces affect mood ✨ Turning a creative passion into a thriving design business ✨ Why homes should reflect the people who live in them — not the designer ✨ Building Social Tide and helping brands develop authentic digital presence ✨ The power of storytelling and founder visibility in business ✨ Social media mistakes most small business owners make ✨ Consistency, authenticity, and evolving with digital culture ✨ Why connection is at the heart of purpose Fern shares that for her, purpose isn't a single destination — it's evolution. It's growth. It's education. It's connection. Whether designing a family's forever home or helping a brand find its voice, her work centers around helping people feel aligned — in their space, in their business, and in themselves. This is a thoughtful conversation about reinvention, motherhood, creativity, entrepreneurship, and the courage it takes to build something meaningful far from where you started.

In this episode, Adam sits down with Jamie Lee Zeno, professionally known as Jay Lee — a licensed esthetician, oncology-certified skincare specialist, life and health coach, law enforcement sergeant, and beauty and wellness entrepreneur. Jamie is the founder and CEO of Jay Lee's Beauty Lounge, a luxury med spa brand based in Westchester County, with a flagship location in Eastchester and an upcoming Hartsdale storefront opening this February. Jamie's story is a powerful reflection of alignment, discipline, and trusting your inner calling — even when it means redefining success. Born and raised in Brooklyn, she grew up inspired by parents who modeled sacrifice, work ethic, and resilience. While law enforcement initially felt like her path, Jamie shares how COVID became a pivotal moment that helped her reconnect with a deeper calling: helping people heal, regain confidence, and feel whole again through beauty, wellness, and self-care. This conversation explores the contrast between two demanding worlds — law enforcement and entrepreneurship — and how Jamie learned to honor both without losing herself. She speaks candidly about navigating burnout, standing firm in her values, and choosing integrity over convenience, even when it came at a personal cost. At its core, this episode is about self-trust, discipline, and living in alignment. We dive into: ✨ Growing up in Brooklyn and the influence of family, sacrifice, and structure ✨ Lessons from law enforcement on empathy, humility, and non-judgment ✨ Transitioning from public service to entrepreneurship during COVID ✨ Building Beauty with Jay Lee from the ground up ✨ Leadership rooted in selflessness, honesty, and accountability ✨ Why discipline — not motivation — drives real transformation ✨ Creating safe, healing spaces where clients feel seen and heard ✨ The power of routine, patience, and small consistent habits ✨ Trusting intuition and walking by faith when logic says otherwise ✨ Purpose as living your truth and creating lasting impact Jamie also shares deeply personal insights on breaking generational patterns, developing self-awareness, and understanding how upbringing shapes mindset, discipline, and self-worth. Her work goes far beyond aesthetics — it's about helping people reconnect with themselves and rebuild confidence from the inside out. This is a raw, inspiring conversation for anyone navigating career transitions, burnout, leadership growth, or the courage it takes to choose alignment over approval.

In this episode, Adam sits down with Elsie Rivera, a movement-driven community builder, martial artist, and leader whose work is rooted in connection, discipline, and intentional impact. Born and raised in the Bronx and now deeply embedded in the Westchester and New York–Connecticut fitness communities, Elsie's story is a powerful example of how movement can become a vehicle for purpose, leadership, and service. A second-degree black belt and lifelong martial artist, Elsie shares how her early exposure to discipline, structure, and community shaped her worldview. From training in traditional martial arts at a young age, to teaching children and adults, to building community through group fitness, run clubs, and brand leadership, Elsie has always believed that when people move together, they grow together. At the heart of this conversation is family, responsibility, and alignment. Elsie opens up about growing up in the Bronx, being raised by a single mother, and stepping into a protector-and-mentor role for her younger brother at just 18 years old. She shares why advocating for him, guiding his athletic journey, and pursuing an education in sports management became part of her purpose — not out of obligation, but out of love. This episode also dives deep into what it really means to build community — not for clout or visibility, but for impact. Elsie speaks candidly about being selective with relationships, protecting her energy, and prioritizing alignment over access. Whether through martial arts, run clubs, Hyrox competitions, or her leadership work with Lululemon, her mission remains the same: create safe, intentional spaces where people feel seen, supported, and energized. We dive into: ✨ Growing up in the Bronx and knowing it wasn't the final destination ✨ Martial arts as a foundation for discipline, confidence, and leadership ✨ Stepping into responsibility early and becoming an advocate for her brother ✨ Education, sacrifice, and balancing work, school, and family ✨ Why community must be intentional, not transactional ✨ The importance of alignment over clout ✨ Movement as a tool for grounding, mental clarity, and connection ✨ Hyrox training, endurance, and embracing physical challenge ✨ Purpose as a road — not a destination Elsie also shares her definition of purpose as an intentional path toward a meaningful goal, shaped by the people you care for and the impact you leave behind. Her advice is simple but powerful: stay grounded, protect your energy, and keep returning to what truly centers you. This is a deeply human conversation about movement, leadership, family, and building a life that feels aligned — not just impressive.

In this episode, Adam sits down with Michael Ferraro, owner of the LLA Real Estate Team, powered by Compass, and host of the Leaders of Lifestyle podcast. Michael represents a new generation of real estate leadership — one rooted in discipline, empathy, education, and intentional growth. From his upbringing in upstate New York in a family of educators and coaches, to becoming a four-time collegiate All-American swimmer, Michael's life has been shaped by structure, resilience, and relentless work ethic. Athletics wasn't just something he did — it was his identity. And learning how to transition from that identity into a new chapter became one of the most defining moments of his life. Michael shares openly about leaving behind coaching and teaching to step into real estate, driven not by ego or status, but by a deeper desire to provide for his family, create opportunity, and live in alignment with his values. What followed was a journey of risk, reinvention, and learning how to market with integrity in a crowded industry. This conversation goes deep into trust, empathy, presence, and perception — and why the most successful professionals aren't the loudest, but the most attuned to the people they serve. We dive into: ✨ Transitioning identity after life as a high-level athlete ✨ Letting go of one dream to honor a greater responsibility ✨ Why trust is built by listening, not selling ✨ Marketing as perception, storytelling, and value creation ✨ Asking better questions before offering solutions ✨ The role of empathy in high-stakes professional relationships ✨ Work ethic, burnout, and learning when to shift gears ✨ Presence, fatherhood, and redefining success over time ✨ Why purpose evolves — and doesn't always look the way we expect Michael also reflects on faith, family, and the idea that your job doesn't have to be your purpose — it can simply be the vehicle that supports it. At its core, purpose is about who you show up for, how you care, and what remains when everything else is stripped away. This is a thoughtful, grounded conversation for anyone navigating career transitions, leadership growth, parenthood, or the tension between ambition and presence.

In this episode of Finding Purpose, we sit down with Kendrick Constant, a top-performing advisor at Northwestern Mutual, to explore why preparation—not luck—is what creates opportunity. Kendrick shares how true financial planning goes far beyond numbers and spreadsheets. His approach is about aligning money with real life—career transitions, family goals, business growth, and having the freedom to say yes when opportunity presents itself. At the core of his philosophy is a powerful belief: financial planning isn't about restriction, it's about leverage. We also dive into Kendrick's commitment to leadership and service across Connecticut. In addition to his advisory work, he serves on multiple civic and educational committees, contributing to workforce development, financial literacy, alumni engagement, and policy insight. His work is a reminder that preparation doesn't just change individual lives—it strengthens communities. This conversation is for anyone who wants to build a life where opportunity isn't feared, but welcomed. In this episode, we discuss: Why preparation matters more than timing Financial planning as a tool for freedom and leverage Aligning money with career, family, and life goals Long-term thinking vs. short-term wins Leadership, service, and building optionality 🎧 Listen to the Podcast: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/finding-purpose/id1748145306 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5xQj6b0m0Zx4ZcFindingPurpose (update if needed) 📺 Watch more episodes: Subscribe to the official YouTube channel of the Finding Purpose Podcast for weekly conversations on purpose, growth, leadership, and resilience. 🔗 Connect with the Host: Website: https://www.adamvohra.com Coaching & Programs: https://www.adamvohra.com/coaching Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adamvohra Email: [email protected] 🎥 Produced by Claudio Valenzuela at Cayivisions For podcast production & content creation: https://www.cayivisions.com

In this episode, Adam sits down with Akenmisire-Ukwei Musa, better known as Moose — one of Connecticut's most recognizable real estate voices and a master of marketing, relationship-building, and disciplined execution. Ranked #1 in Connecticut on social media and top 15% nationally, Moose is known today as Your Friendly Neighborhood Moose — but his story didn't start anywhere near luxury listings or high-end broker opens. Born in Nigeria and raised in West Haven, Connecticut, one of six siblings in a strict immigrant household, Moose's early life was shaped by discipline, survival, and hustle. From selling bundled leaves as a five-year-old, to navigating the streets, college life, and lessons learned through illegal sales, Moose breaks down how sales, positioning, and marketing were always present — long before real estate. This conversation is raw, hilarious, and deeply insightful. Moose connects his upbringing, immigrant discipline, and early mistakes to the way he now approaches business, leadership, and purpose. He reframes success not as glamour, but as story, stress, responsibility, and service — the parts most people never see. We dive into: ✨ His first "sale" at five years old — and why hustle is innate ✨ Growing up Nigerian in West Haven and navigating identity, discipline, and culture ✨ What drug dealing taught him about positioning, credit, and marketing ✨ Why "houses sell themselves — agents market themselves" ✨ The truth behind real estate deals no one talks about ✨ Mentorship, transparency, and why leaders must be accessible ✨ His "tunnel" philosophy for growth, disruption, and long-term success ✨ Why purpose is a moving target — and ultimately about helping people Moose also opens up about grief, faith, hustle culture, and the pressure of leadership — sharing why not all money is good money, why relationships matter more than transactions, and how meaningful interactions are his true definition of purpose. This is a must-listen for entrepreneurs, sales professionals, creatives, and anyone trying to turn raw potential into lasting impact.

In this episode, Adam sits down with Mike Szwed, founder of Mind Your Business Media and the strategist many know as the man behind the brand. Mike's story is a powerful reminder that purpose is often forged through responsibility, pressure, and the decision to rise when life demands more from you. From growing up in Northeast Philadelphia to becoming a Division I athlete, a young father, and ultimately an entrepreneur, Mike shares how discipline, faith, and relentless learning shaped his journey. His path wasn't built overnight — it was built through intentional choices, adversity, and a willingness to bet on himself before everything was "perfect." Today, Mike helps high-ticket coaches and consultants scale their businesses through automated client acquisition systems, funnel strategy, and backend sales infrastructure — allowing them to grow revenue without sacrificing their time or values. But beyond the tactics, this conversation goes deep into identity, leadership, fatherhood, and trusting the process when the pressure is on. We dive into: ✨ Becoming a father at a young age and how responsibility sharpened his purpose ✨ Why discipline from athletics translates directly to business success ✨ The concept of value, risk, and pricing yourself before credibility exists ✨ Building a business from zero — and rebuilding after financial setbacks ✨ Faith, "God moments," and learning to surrender control ✨ What it really means to lead from behind the scenes ✨ How purpose evolves when family becomes the priority This is a raw, grounded conversation for entrepreneurs, parents, and anyone navigating pressure-filled seasons where growth is no longer optional — it's required.

In this episode, Adam sits down with Claudio Valenzuela, founder of Cayivisions, for a grounded and intentional conversation about identity, creativity, discipline, and purpose. Claudio's story begins long before Cayivisions. Growing up deeply connected to his Spanish-speaking, Chilean roots, he learned early how culture, language, and lived experience shape perspective. Navigating identity between worlds required awareness, adaptability, and emotional intelligence from a young age—skills that would later become foundational to his creative voice. Creativity became an outlet early on. Long before it was a career, it was a way to process emotion, observe the world, and communicate what couldn't always be articulated. Claudio shares how those formative years—shaped by cultural nuance, responsibility, and discipline—quietly prepared him for a life built around storytelling. Before founding Cayivisions, Claudio cut his teeth through hands-on work and early creative roles that demanded patience, precision, and humility. He didn't skip steps. He learned the craft from the ground up—understanding not just how to create, but how to collaborate, execute, and lead with intention. Together, Adam and Claudio explore the realities behind building something lasting: choosing substance over attention, honoring where you come from, and staying rooted as opportunities grow. Claudio opens up about the internal work required to lead creatively, remain disciplined, and stay aligned—especially when your work becomes your identity. This episode is a powerful reminder that meaningful creative work doesn't come from chasing visibility—it comes from understanding your roots, respecting the process, and building with purpose. What You'll Hear in This Episode Growing up connected to Chilean and Spanish-speaking roots Navigating identity and culture from an early age How creativity became a form of expression and grounding Claudio's early career and learning the craft from the ground up The discipline behind sustainable creative excellence Why identity must come before aesthetics Lessons learned from adversity, restraint, and self-awareness The deeper mission behind Cayivisions Building meaningful work without losing yourself in the process About Claudio Valenzuela Claudio Valenzuela is the founder of Cayivisions, a creative studio rooted in intentional storytelling, cultural awareness, and emotional resonance. His work is deeply informed by his Chilean heritage, early life experiences, and a disciplined approach to craft. Claudio believes creativity carries responsibility. Every project is an opportunity to create connection, elevate truth, and tell stories that feel honest and human. Through Cayivisions, he continues to build a platform that prioritizes integrity, alignment, and impact over noise.

In this episode of The Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Franjez — a content creator, podcaster, and community builder whose journey is rooted in patience, discipline, self-awareness, and learning how to live with intention. Known for his food content spotlighting local restaurants and culture throughout the New York tri-state area, and as the host of Talk About It with Franjez, Franjez didn't begin his career in the creative space. Before stepping fully into content and storytelling, he spent nearly a decade working as a New York State correctional officer — an experience that shaped his resilience, emotional awareness, and understanding of human behavior. That chapter of his life eventually raised a deeper question: Was this the life he was meant to live — or simply the one he learned to survive? Throughout the conversation, Franjez opens up about working in high-stress environments, unhealthy coping mechanisms, and the gradual realization that something needed to change. Instead of numbing the discomfort, he chose to look inward — beginning a personal development journey grounded in patience, gratitude, and accountability. Adam and Franjez explore what it means to truly do the inner work. Franjez shares how meditation helped him respond instead of react, how gratitude became a daily grounding practice, and how being "about your word" became central to both his personal life and his brand. Books like The Four Agreements played a pivotal role in reshaping his understanding of integrity, responsibility, and self-leadership. The episode also dives into how Franjez built his creative ecosystem — not by chasing virality, but by staying consistent and devoted. What began as a podcast expanded into food content, a studio space, and a platform supporting other creators. His approach is rooted in positivity, connection, and intention — especially when it comes to food. Food, for Franjez, has always been about community. Raised in a home where meals were shared intentionally, he now uses food as a bridge — celebrating culture, uplifting small businesses, and bringing people together. His philosophy is simple: there's already enough negativity in the world — food should be a source of joy and connection. Faith and spirituality are also central themes in the conversation. Franjez speaks about faith not as a label, but as something lived through discipline, patience, self-control, and love. Adam adds his own reflections on surrender and learning to trust God's will instead of forcing outcomes — a perspective that deeply aligns with Franjez's journey. This episode is a conversation about growth, awareness, consistency, and what it really means to build a life you don't need to escape from. In This Episode, You'll Hear About: • Working in high-stress environments and emotional regulation • Patience as a learned skill • Gratitude as a daily practice • Meditation and self-awareness • Integrity and being about your word • Leaving survival mode and choosing intention • Building a platform without chasing virality • Food as community and connection • Faith lived through action • Making growth a lifestyle, not a phase Connect with Franjez Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/franjez/ YouTube — Talk About It with Franjez: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLVgDed79iFfH-m8zGvSHCl7Z5xueZXpNA Website / Resources: https://stan.store/franjez Connect with Adam Instagram: @findingpurposepod Personal: @adamvohra_ Website: www.adamvohra.com — coaching, speaking, partnerships, and events Call to Action If this episode resonated, please subscribe, follow, and leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

In this episode of The Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Wilson Bryan Beltran — a creative entrepreneur, producer, and community builder whose journey to purpose was anything but linear. Wilson grew up in Port Chester, New York and now calls Stamford, Connecticut home. Today, he leads operations at space67studios in Norwalk, where he helps bring photography, video, podcast, and music projects to life — while intentionally building a creative community rooted in connection, collaboration, and culture. He's also preparing to launch LOT 48, a new creator-first studio designed to give artists and entrepreneurs the space and support to build what's next. Before stepping fully into the creative world, Wilson worked as a registered nurse, serving in the ICU at Yale New Haven Hospital and later in the Emergency Department at Greenwich Hospital. That experience deeply shaped the calm, grounded presence he carries today — and the way he leads, connects, and shows up for others. Throughout this conversation, Wilson opens up about growing up feeling unseen, getting into trouble as a way to seek attention, and the consequences that followed. He reflects on how early discipline, faith, and a desire to belong shaped his identity — and how those same traits now anchor him in purpose. Adam and Wilson also explore the courage it takes to pivot. Wilson shares what it was like to walk away from a stable medical career, try multiple paths, and trust that every experience — even the ones that didn't work — was preparing him for what he's doing now. Rather than seeing those chapters as failures, he views them as formation. Faith plays a central role in Wilson's life and leadership. He speaks candidly about God's presence even in his darkest moments, and how reconnecting with faith helped him release shame, practice humility, and trust his inner compass again. That spiritual grounding now informs everything he builds — from creative spaces to business relationships. The episode also dives into Wilson's role as a connector. He talks about building culture intentionally, leading by example, and creating environments where people feel safe, inspired, and supported. Whether through space67studios, SOUNDS, The SEED, or Notes Coffee Bar, Wilson is focused on one thing: using his God-given gifts to bring people together and help them create. This is a conversation about growth, faith, identity, leadership, and what it really means to find your place — not by having all the answers, but by staying willing to try, learn, and trust the process. In This Episode, You'll Hear About: • Growing up seeking attention and learning what was really missing • Discipline, faith, and early exposure to structure • Leaving a medical career to pursue creativity and purpose • Why trying multiple paths isn't failure — it's formation • Finding alignment at space67studios • Faith as a foundation for leadership and humility • Building culture through example, not control • The power of real, face-to-face connection • Creating spaces where others can discover their gifts • What purpose truly means when it's rooted in service Connect with Wilson Instagram: @willy_b.04 Creative Home: @space67studios Upcoming Studio: @lot48studios Community Space: @notescoffee.bar Connect with Adam Instagram: @findingpurposepod Personal: @adamvohra_ Website: adamvohra.com — coaching, speaking, partnerships, and events Call to Action If this episode resonated, please subscribe, follow, and leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

In this episode of The Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Dr. Sean Altman — a Functional Medicine Doctor specializing in orthopedic, neurological, and regenerative medicine — for a powerful conversation on healing, health literacy, and what it truly means to take ownership of your well-being. Born and raised in Westchester County, Dr. Altman's journey into medicine was shaped not just by education, but by lived experience. After years of sports injuries, concussions from ice hockey, Lyme disease, car accidents, and chronic pain, he found himself stuck in a system that told him nothing was wrong — even when his body clearly said otherwise. That disconnect became the catalyst for a deeper pursuit of answers. Through functional medicine, systems-based diagnostics, and regenerative therapies, Dr. Altman rebuilt his own health — and now dedicates his work to helping others do the same. At the center of his practice is a holistic approach that looks beyond symptoms to uncover root causes, leveraging tools like real-time musculoskeletal ultrasound, nervous system regulation, gut health optimization, and preventative longevity strategies. This episode explores how the body is designed to heal, why modern medicine often misses the full picture, and how informed, empowered patients can radically change their health outcomes. It's a conversation about resilience, responsibility, and redefining what "healthy" really means — physically, mentally, and emotionally. 💡 In this episode, we explore: Dr. Altman's early experiences with sports injuries, concussions, and chronic pain Why traditional imaging and lab work often fail to tell the full story The importance of nervous system regulation and gut health in overall healing How hormetic stress (exercise, fasting, cold exposure) builds long-term resilience Healthspan vs. lifespan — and why longevity is about quality, not just years The role of exercise, sleep, and strength training in disease prevention Why supplements and hormone therapies require individualized data, not trends Teaching patients to become informed, empowered participants in their own care Using symptoms as signals instead of something to suppress Finding purpose through service, education, and systemic change in medicine 🌟 Connect with Dr. Sean Altman Website: https://www.drseanaltman.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.sean.altman/ 🎧 Connect with The Finding Purpose Podcast Watch full episodes: YouTube — The Finding Purpose Podcast Listen on Apple Podcasts & Spotify: Finding Purpose Podcast Explore more episodes: https://www.adamvohra.com/podcast 👤 Connect with Adam Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adamvohra_ Website: https://www.adamvohra.com If this conversation resonated with you, please subscribe, leave a review, and share the episode with someone who's questioning their health, their healing journey, or their purpose.

This week, Adam sits down with two extraordinary humans who are reshaping the cultural heartbeat of Fairfield County: Marcelo Guzzo and Anelle Beer Guzzo, co-founders of Greenwich Opera — a rising arts institution blending world-class performance, education, and community connection. Marcelo is a Uruguayan-Italian baritone praised by The New York Times, The Boston Globe, and Opera News for his commanding voice and magnetic stage presence. He has performed lead roles in major opera houses worldwide and collaborated with legends like Andrea Bocelli and Plácido Domingo. Today, he serves as Executive Director of Greenwich Opera — bringing his global artistry into an intimate, local mission. Anelle is a producer, artist, and former finance executive from Cape Town, South Africa. Her career spans global banking, humanitarian work, creative production, and meaningful initiatives supporting children and incarcerated mothers. Her lifelong connection to music, shaped by her family's legacy and the loss of her twin sister, powers the heart-centered vision she brings to Greenwich Opera. Together, they are building a cultural house that redefines what opera can be: accessible, soulful, community-driven, and deeply human. In This Conversation, We Explore: 🎼 The love story that sparked a mission — a chance encounter on Broadway that turned into a partnership in life, art, and purpose. 🌍 What cultural heritage really means — how their South African and Uruguayan/Italian roots shape the energy, values, and storytelling behind their work. 🎭 Why performing arts are more essential than ever — especially for youth growing up in a noisy, overstimulated digital world. 💔 Transforming pain into purpose — Anelle's promise to her twin sister, the healing power of music, and how loss became the foundation for her life's mission. 🚪 Hearing 'no' as a 'not yet' — how resilience, humility, and unwavering vision drive their commitment to building something bigger than themselves. 🌱 Building Greenwich Opera from the ground up — the Manor Series, education initiatives, school programs, luxury partnerships, and long-term plans for festivals and community collaborations. 🕊️ Art as stillness, connection, and spiritual freedom — why live opera moves people in ways that modern life rarely does. 👨‍👩‍👦 Raising the next generation with art at the center — what they want their son, his peers, and an entire community to experience. 💡 Purpose as service — seeing who needs something they cannot give themselves, and leading with humility, love, and soul. This episode is emotional, powerful, and deeply human. Marcelo and Anelle share wisdom that transcends art — touching on identity, love, spirituality, vulnerability, and the courage to dream the impossible dream.
