Not Dead Yet And Neither Are Your Ambitions
If you’ve ever sat in a meeting, stared out the window, and thought, “Faark, I hope it’s not too late for me to do something that actually matters…” you’re in the right place.
I’m Alan: lifelong generalist, serial career reinventor. I started this Podcast because, well, honestly, because I was ready to stop pretending that “coasting to retirement” was enough.
Let’s not sugar-coat it: You’ve got decades of experience, a CV cleaner
than your kitchen counter, but deep down you want more something that’s genuinely yours, not just another title or another line on LinkedIn.
What you'll get:
Real stories. The good, the bad, and the “well, that didn’t work.” You get the unfiltered truth from people who’ve jumped off the corporate carousel (sometimes landing on their feet).

The real reason people fail at health, productivity, and big life changes is not a lack of knowledge - it is fear, self-sabotage, and the habit of choosing comfort over progress. Adam shares the mindset shift that took him from Ernst and Young to building My Body Tutor, and why the same accountability model now powers both fitness and productivity.
What started with just three clients has grown into a 19-year business with 75+ coaches and more than 10,000 people helped - not through flashy marketing, but through human accountability, consistency, and trust. Adam breaks down why sustainable change almost always starts smaller than people want to admit, why “mission” beats “goal,” and how the psychology behind behavior matters more than the perfect plan.
You'll discover:
Why fear of failure - and even fear of success - keeps people stuck
The hidden motivations behind self-sabotage and why “being busy” can be a form of avoidance
How discomfort becomes a compass instead of a problem
Why health progress spills into confidence, work, and every other part of life
What AI can and cannot replace when it comes to accountability and behavior change
We also get into the traps of social media, unrealistic expectations, the difference between what men and women often want from coaching, and why GLP-1s can be a useful tool without ever solving habits. Adam’s view is refreshingly grounded: knowledge is everywhere, but consistent action is rare.
If you are thinking about changing your body, starting a business, or reinventing yourself at any stage of life, this conversation is a practical reminder that the next move does not have to be dramatic - it has to be real. Perfect for anyone who knows what to do, but needs help actually doing it.
Adam is the founder of My Body Tutor and Done Daily, known for helping thousands of people build lasting habits through coaching, accountability, and behavior change.Sat, 22 Aug 2026 - 38min - 9 - Stuff It I Quit
