The Healed Hustle
HELPING LEADERS BUILD WHAT MATTERS WITHOUT LOSING WHAT MATTERS MOST
Too many mission-driven entrepreneurs are trapped in an unsustainable hustle. Your ambition is either fueling sustainability or pushing you toward chaos. Without a strategy to regulate it, many leaders end up exhausted, workaholics, and losing what they set out to build.
Imagine waking up with the peace of knowing your success isn’t costing you everything that matters most. What if you could impact lives without losing yours?
Drawing on 20+ years of leadership across church planting, Silicon Valley startups, and enterprise product work — plus a personal collapse that rebuilt him from the inside out — Adam delivers a talk audiences remember and teams act on.
What audiences will walk away with
-A diagnostic for the seven core drivers of ambition and which ones are quietly eroding your leaders
-The "healed why" framework: how to reframe motivation without shrinking the vision
-Why 88% of mission-driven entrepreneurs burn out and the specific patterns that predict it
-A language for the tension every high achiever feels between traction and sustainability
-Practical rhythms teams can implement Monday morning not aspirational advice
“Adam has a unique way of sharing powerful truth with authenticity, humor, and practical takeaways. Our attendees walked away encouraged, challenged, and inspired. I cannot recommend Adam enough.””

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR & LEAD VISIONARY
THE VALLEY NETWORK
Adam knows firsthand the cost of unregulated ambition. Once a pastor, now a Silicon Valley design strategist, Adam built multiple ventures launching churches, tech startups and leading design at Intuit, contributing to $115M+ in ARR — while nearly losing everything to relentless hustle.
Today, through the Healed Hustle, he helps high achieving leaders align ambition with intention blending authentic storytelling, practical strategy, and heartfelt wisdom for audiences ready to flourish without burning out.
