Authenticity, Boundaries & the Method of One: Getting Real About Building a Purposeful Business
In this deeply honest episode, Tom and Adam pull back the curtain on their recent frustrations with content creation and the overwhelming noise of so-called expert advice. They get real about what it means to remain authentic while building a successful business and coaching practice—especially as they navigate their own commitment to the Method of One framework: one product, one channel, one market, one conversion tool, one year.
They discuss the struggle of balancing perfection with progress, and how hard it can be to stay true to your voice amidst industry noise. More importantly, they reflect on the unique value they bring through deep, trusting relationships and the safe spaces they create for clients—whether it's in one-on-one coaching or live workshops.
This episode is a raw, heartfelt reflection of what truly matters in business: connection, vulnerability, and purpose.
