James Neilson-Watt sits down with Adam Jablin for a conversation on recovery, surrender, faith, entrepreneurship, purpose, parenting, AI, and trusting life's timing.

Adam shares how getting clean and sober forced him to let go of his old identity, and how the last five years challenged him to surrender deeper. He opens up about comparison, social media, losing trust, reconnecting with God, and learning not to rush the process but to trust it.

James and Adam explore how meaning shapes experience, why the outside world distracts us from inner work, and how purpose is found not only through pain, but through joy.

James and Adam discuss:

• Recovery and surrender
• Comparison, chase energy, and entrepreneurship
• Faith, trust, and divine timing
• Meaning, identity, and inner language
• Parenting, responsibility, and self-awareness
• The hero's journey and answering the call
• Purpose, mission, and service
• Joy in the solution
• Ideas, courage, and timing
• Distraction, social media, and lower needs
• Health, family, and future self
• AI, education, and capable kids
• Connection and presence
