Advertise on podcast: Adapt Faster

I just wrapped up a 93 hour fast and it ended up being the perfect metaphor for what most businesses need: a full reset. Cut the noise. Strip the bloat. Rebuild with intention. In this episode I break down how the fast snapped my brain back online, how business autophagy works, and how it all ties into building Adapt Faster Live in public. If you want the written version, it’s inside today’s newsletter: adapt.catchadvisors.com And if you want help resetting your stack the right way, start here: catchadvisors.com

In this episode, I dive into the essence of trust, sparked by an unexpected encounter at the Austin marathon. My conversation with Clayton, initiated by our matching green hats, not only rekindled my passion for podcasting but also set the stage for a deeper exploration of trust in today’s world. From the scarcity of genuine connections to the importance of building solid, trustworthy relationships, I share insights and a "trust checklist" to navigate personal and professional alliances. It’s about choosing who stands beside us, not just across from us.
