The Accidental CEO

Hosts: Tom Marino & Adam Hurd
Presented by: Atomic Business Coaching
🔍 Episode Summary:
Tom and Adam reveal how they—and many of their clients—became accidental CEOs: people who never planned to run a business but ended up building one. They share personal stories, client examples, and insights into how they coach entrepreneurs through chaos to clarity by focusing on both business strategy and personal growth.
🔑 Highlights:
• What is an Accidental CEO?
Skilled professionals who turn their craft into a business without realizing the full scope of being a CEO.
• The Dual Approach:
Adam focuses on business systems; Tom helps with mindset and personal development. Together, they support clients holistically.
• From Chaos to Clarity:
Most struggle due to lack of systems and self-awareness. Atomic helps simplify and stabilize both business and life.
• Mindset Shift Required:
Growth means becoming the person capable of running a successful, million-dollar business—not just building one.
• No More Band-Aids:
Clients often stack temporary fixes. Tom and Adam guide them to rebuild with solid foundations.
• You Can’t Do It Alone:
True growth comes with the right support—be it a partner, coach, or team.
• Health, Relationships & Harmony:
Success requires attention to physical health, relationships, and personal well-being—not just profits.
