    Ep. 107 - Justin Sanchez on Betting on Yourself Early and Trusting the Process
    2026/05/12

    In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Justin Sanchez—actor, creative, and one of the executive producers behind the podcast—for a conversation about taking risks early, trusting your path, and learning that purpose often finds you before you fully understand it.

    Raised in White Plains, New York and the Town of Greenburgh, Justin grew up in a close-knit community shaped by resilience, family, and the example of a single mother who never gave up. Watching his mother raise four children while overcoming her own challenges taught him what discipline, sacrifice, and perseverance truly look like. Her belief in him would ultimately help shape the boldest decision of his life.

    At a pivotal moment, Justin made the decision to leave traditional school behind and pursue acting full time—taking a leap of faith that led him to land a lead role in the Apple TV+ series Ghostwriter. What looked like overnight success was actually years of auditions, rejection, persistence, and trusting that the work would eventually pay off.

    This conversation dives into family, fatherhood, identity, rejection, discipline, sacrifice, and what it means to keep going even when the path doesn't look traditional.

    It's a reminder that sometimes the biggest risk is not betting on yourself.

    What We Discuss
    • Growing up in White Plains and the Town of Greenburgh
    • Being raised by a single mother and how it shaped his mindset
    • His father's journey, absence, and rebuilding their relationship
    • The lessons Justin learned from watching both of his parents overcome adversity
    • Why community and family played such a major role in his development
    • Discovering acting through youth programs and local theater
    • Landing the lead role in Apple TV+'s Ghostwriter
    • Years of auditions, rejection, and staying committed to the craft
    • Why success often looks like patience before it looks like results
    • Leaving traditional school and transitioning to online education
    • Missing out on "normal" teenage experiences to chase a bigger vision
    • Learning to trust nontraditional paths
    • Behind the scenes of filming in Canada and working on a major production
    • Falling in love with storytelling both in front of and behind the camera
    • Working with Claudio and becoming part of Cayivisions
    • Why purpose sometimes finds you before you're ready for it
    • Taking calculated risks and betting on yourself early

  • Ep. 106 - How to Trust Yourself and Redefine Wellness with Linda Cicero

    Ep. 106 - How to Trust Yourself and Redefine Wellness with Linda Cicero
    2026/05/05
    In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Linda Cicero, founder of Life in Color, certified fitness professional, nutrition coach, behavior change specialist, hormonal health educator, and creative whose work helps women redefine health on their own terms. With over 20 years of experience in wellness, Linda's journey goes far beyond food and fitness. Her story is rooted in healing perfectionism, overcoming disordered eating, rebuilding her relationship with her body, and learning how to trust herself again. What changed everything wasn't another diet or fitness routine—it was dance. What began as a quiet inner whisper to walk into a Fred Astaire dance studio became the portal that reconnected her to herself and ultimately changed the direction of her life. Through that experience, Linda realized purpose wasn't something tied to achievement, money, or checking boxes. It was something deeper—something rooted in joy, self-trust, and learning how to listen to what she calls "the whispers." This conversation explores perfectionism, shame, body image, social media, spirituality, and the courage it takes to stop living by someone else's definition of health and start defining your own. This is a conversation about freedom, self-acceptance, and remembering that your purpose may already be inside you—you just have to listen. What We Discuss How dance became the portal that changed Linda's life Perfectionism, overachieving, and the "good girl" mentality Healing disordered eating and rebuilding trust with her bodyHow body image struggles often begin much earlier than we realizeThe role of hypnotherapy in reconnecting with younger versions of ourselvesWhy perfectionism and shame often live in the same house Learning to challenge the stories we tell ourselvesThe power of asking: "Is it true?"Why assumptions create unnecessary suffering Social media, comparison, and detoxing your digital inputsHow movement, whole foods, hydration, and protein create downstream healing Listening to your intuition and trusting your inner voice Spirituality, gratitude, and creating quiet moments with yourselfWhy purpose often begins with a whisper, not a planHow to define health on your own terms instead of society'sWhy we need to stop taking ourselves so seriously About Linda Cicero Linda Cicero is the founder of Life in Color, a wellness and lifestyle brand centered around helping women break free from perfectionism, overwhelm, and self-doubt so they can create a healthier, more aligned life. She is a certified fitness professional, nutrition coach, behavior change specialist, hormonal health educator, and creative dancer who blends movement, mindset, and deep personal work to help clients reconnect with themselves. Her philosophy is simple: wellness should feel freeing—not restrictive. Through coaching, events, and community, Linda helps people uncover the stories keeping them stuck and empowers them to rewrite those narratives in alignment with who they truly are.

  • Ep. 104 - Val and Tatiana Meti on Sacrifice, Hustle, and the Truth About Entrepreneurship

    Ep. 104 - Val and Tatiana Meti on Sacrifice, Hustle, and the Truth About Entrepreneurship
    2026/04/21
    In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with husband-and-wife duo Val and Tatiana Meti, founders of Boost Bowls—a Connecticut-based smoothie and açaí brand built on consistency, hustle, and community. What started as an unexpected opportunity quickly turned into a full-scale entrepreneurial journey. From opening two businesses at once with no clear roadmap to building a multi-location brand, Val and Tatiana share what it really takes to create something meaningful from the ground up. Their story is rooted in resilience. As children of immigrants—Val arriving in the U.S. as a refugee from Kosovo and Tatiana immigrating from Brazil at a young age—they both grew up with a deep understanding of hard work, sacrifice, and the pursuit of a better life. Those early experiences shaped the mindset they carry into business today. This conversation goes beyond entrepreneurship. It's about partnership, navigating marriage while building a business, embracing risk, and understanding that purpose isn't always something you plan—it's something you grow into. What We Discuss Growing up as children of immigrants and how it shaped their work ethic Meeting after high school and building a 20+ year relationshipThe realities of running a business as a married coupleHow Boost Bowls started accidentally from a cycling studio concept Opening two businesses at once with no money and no blueprintThe early grind—working multiple jobs while building the brand Sacrifice, loneliness, and the unseen side of entrepreneurshipWhy "failure" is really just a pivot toward something betterThe importance of roles, communication, and trust in partnership Balancing family life while scaling a business Creating systems, processes, and leadership within a growing companyThe truth about entrepreneurship vs. social media perception Building a brand centered around community, not just productThe mindset behind Risk x Hustle and sharing real stories Whether purpose is found or built through action About Val & Tatiana Meti Val and Tatiana Meti are the founders of Boost Bowls, a fast-growing smoothie and açaí brand with multiple locations across Connecticut. Val serves as the operational force behind the business, leading systems, team execution, and in-store experience, while Tatiana focuses on branding, marketing, and strategic growth. Together, they've built a business rooted in clean ingredients, strong culture, and community-driven spaces—designed to be more than just a place to eat, but a place to connect. In addition to Boost Bowls, they co-host the Risk x Hustle Podcast, where they share honest conversations around entrepreneurship, growth, and the realities of building something from the ground up.

    Ep. 103 - What It Means to Live Sober Out Loud with Trey Laird
    2026/04/14
    In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Trey Laird, CEO and founder of The Lighthouse Sober Living and Lighthouse Recovery Coaching 365, for a powerful conversation on transformation, recovery, and what it truly means to live a purpose-driven life. Trey's journey is one of reinvention. After spending over two decades on Wall Street as an equities trader, building a life that looked successful from the outside, Trey found himself battling addiction behind the scenes. What began with opiate pain medication eventually evolved into a daily cycle of substance use that impacted his family, relationships, and sense of self. In 2008, Trey made the decision to seek treatment—marking the beginning of a recovery journey that would ultimately reshape his entire life. What followed wasn't just sobriety—it was transformation. Through community, honesty, and a commitment to growth, Trey not only rebuilt his life but discovered a deeper calling: helping others do the same. In 2016, he founded The Lighthouse, creating a space for men—and later women—to recover while still engaging in real life, work, family, and responsibility. This conversation dives deep into the realities of addiction, the power of community, the evolution from consequence-driven to purpose-driven recovery, and how service becomes the foundation for lasting fulfillment. What We Discuss Trey's early life, family dynamics, and the role of community and friendshipsHis 22-year career on Wall Street and the culture surrounding itThe progression of addiction and how it quietly took hold Entering treatment in 2008 and the early days of recoveryThe power of honesty and transparency in the workplaceHow sharing his story created deeper connection and accountabilityThe importance of community in sustaining recoveryWhy recovery is not one-size-fits-all and looks different for everyoneThe difference between consequence-driven and purpose-driven sobriety Building a life centered around service and helping othersThe role of fun and fulfillment in early recovery Developing a "board of directors" and surrounding yourself with the right people Navigating resentment, forgiveness, and self-awareness Spirituality vs. religion and the role of faith in recovery Emotional regulation and letting go of the need to control outcomesThe power of vulnerability and living authenticallyHow purpose often finds you—not the other way around About Trey Laird Trey Laird is the CEO and founder of The Lighthouse Sober Living and Lighthouse Recovery Coaching 365, organizations dedicated to helping individuals build sustainable, purpose-driven lives in recovery. Before entering the recovery space, Trey spent 22 years on Wall Street as an equities trader, working at firms including Bankers Trust and Lazard. Today, he lives in New Canaan, Connecticut with his wife and five children. He serves as a deacon at the New Canaan Congregational Church, is an avid marathoner and golfer, and sits on the advisory board of Recovery.com. Trey travels nationally speaking on addiction, treatment, and recovery—advocating for what he calls "living recovery out loud."

    Ep. 102 - Why Healing Never Ends and What That Really Means with Dr. Tara Chalakani
    2026/04/07
    In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Dr. Tara Chalakani, a nationally recognized mental health expert, CEO, licensed psychotherapist, and thought leader with over 30 years of experience at the intersection of healthcare, leadership, and personal transformation. Dr. Tara's journey is rooted in resilience. Raised in Newark, New Jersey, she came from humble beginnings, navigating early life challenges that would ultimately become the fuel for her growth. Rather than allowing her circumstances to define her, she made a conscious decision to use her experiences as a catalyst—committing herself to education, service, and helping others heal. Today, she leads a $39 million behavioral health nonprofit, runs a thriving psychotherapy practice, and co-hosts the Well Off Podcast. Her work blends evidence-based clinical practice with spiritual grounding, helping individuals reconnect with their truth, process trauma, and step into more aligned versions of themselves. This conversation explores the depth of healing—from trauma and identity to leadership and purpose—and highlights the ongoing nature of personal growth. As Dr. Tara emphasizes, the work is never done. Growth is a lifelong commitment. What We Discuss Growing up in Newark and using adversity as fuel for growth The difference between living as a victim vs. using your story as power The importance of starting each day with intention, gratitude, and spiritual grounding Adam's recovery journey and the role of spirituality in sobriety Emotional processing, grief, and why there's no "right way" to feel Why curiosity—not judgment—is key in healing Understanding EMDR therapy and how it helps reprocess trauma The importance of self-awareness in therapy and leadership Learning not to take things personally and separating identity from others' behavior Breaking generational patterns and redefining family dynamics Forgiveness, compassion, and seeing parents as people—not just authority figures Leadership lessons from running a large nonprofit organization The difference between purpose-driven work and profit-driven work The importance of presence, transparency, and communication in leadership Balancing career, motherhood, and personal well-being Why true connection cannot be replaced by social media Building a life rooted in purpose, not just a paycheck About Dr. Tara Chalakani Dr. Tara Chalakani is a CEO, licensed psychotherapist, and nationally recognized mental health expert with over three decades of experience in healthcare and executive leadership.

  • Ep. 101 - How Seth Stahlmann Built Purpose Through Responsibility Family and Business

    Ep. 101 - How Seth Stahlmann Built Purpose Through Responsibility Family and Business
    2026/03/31
    In this episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Seth Stahlmann, Regional Director at Tweeds Clothier in Rye, New York, for a conversation rooted in discipline, responsibility, and commitment. Seth's story is anything but conventional. Raised in Sarasota, Florida as one of seven children in a family with limited means, he began working at just 12 years old—quickly learning the value of effort, time, and self-worth. By 14, he was balancing college coursework with work and creative pursuits, and by 18, he married his middle school sweetheart. A year later, he became a father—stepping fully into adulthood with purpose and urgency. Today, Seth leads the Tweeds location in Rye, working with high-performing professionals and entrepreneurs to help them look and feel their best through bespoke tailoring. But this conversation goes far beyond suits. This is about identity. This is about commitment. This is about what happens when responsibility becomes the foundation for purpose. Seth shares how fatherhood pushed him into entrepreneurship, why he walked away from traditional career paths, and how building something meaningful often requires betting on yourself before you feel ready. What We Discuss Growing up as one of seven children and developing patience, resilience, and responsibility Starting work at 12 years old and entering the digital marketing world early The lesson of "fast, good, cheap — pick two" and how it shaped his mindset Why authenticity matters more than ever in today's digital landscape Moving from Florida to New York and building a business in a new market The importance of community, relationships, and networking in business growth Why entrepreneurship provided more alignment than a traditional corporate path Becoming a father at a young age and how it reshaped his priorities Marriage, commitment, and building a life with intention Seth's journey with faith and returning to it during a time of success The psychology of image, confidence, and how people present themselves Why how you show up physically can impact how others perceive your value The role of trust and relationships in building a sustainable business Why purpose often evolves—and sometimes pushes you in unexpected directions Key Themes From the Conversation Commitment Creates Depth One of the most powerful takeaways from this conversation is Seth's perspective on commitment. In a world where many people avoid long-term decisions—whether in relationships, careers, or personal growth—Seth emphasizes that depth only comes from staying with something long enough to truly understand it. Without commitment, experiences remain surface-level. With commitment, they become transformative. Responsibility as a Catalyst for Purpose Fatherhood became a defining turning point in Seth's life. It forced him to move beyond exploration and into execution—finding a path that not only fulfilled him but allowed him to provide for his family. Rather than seeing responsibility as a burden, Seth embraced it as direction. Authenticity Over Perfection From his early days in digital marketing to his current work in tailoring, Seth highlights a core truth: People don't connect with perfection—they connect with authenticity. In a world filled with noise, shortcuts, and surface-level content, genuine expression and real craftsmanship stand out. Image, Identity, and Confidence Through his work at Tweeds, Seth has developed a deep understanding of how presentation impacts perception. While clothing does not define who someone is, it can influence how they are received—and in many cases, how they feel about themselves. Confidence is internal, but how you present yourself can either reinforce or undermine it. About Seth Stahlmann Seth Stahlmann is the Regional Director at Tweeds Clothier, a bespoke tailoring company specializing in custom garments for professionals, entrepreneurs, and individuals who value craftsmanship and personal style. With a background in digital marketing and years of experience across multiple industries, Seth brings a relationship-driven approach to his work—focusing on trust, quality, and helping clients present themselves with confidence. He currently leads operations in Rye, New York.

  • Purpose Panels Wellness Edition: A Live Conversation on Wellness, Community, and Purpose

    Purpose Panels Wellness Edition: A Live Conversation on Wellness, Community, and Purpose
    2026/03/24
    This special episode of the Finding Purpose Podcast features the first-ever Purpose Panels Wellness Edition, recorded live in front of an audience. Purpose Panels were created as an extension of the podcast — an opportunity to bring meaningful conversations into a shared physical space where community, vulnerability, and growth can happen in real time. After recording his 100th episode, Adam wanted to create an in-person experience where people could connect, share their journeys, and learn from leaders who are living with intention in the wellness space. The theme of the conversation centers around the idea of "yet." A yet can represent a turning point in someone's life — a moment where they recognize something must change. That moment might feel negative in the moment, but it can also become the catalyst for transformation. Throughout the panel, each guest shares how their own personal "yet" moments shaped their careers, their approach to wellness, and their commitment to helping others live healthier, more intentional lives. This conversation explores the intersections of physical health, mental resilience, community, and purpose, highlighting how wellness is rarely a single discipline — it's the result of consistent habits, meaningful relationships, and the courage to make changes when life demands it. Panelists Nick Kausa Nick is the Director of HealthSpan at The Practice in Greenwich, where he focuses on evidence-based performance and longevity training designed to help people stay stronger for longer. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ncausa/ The Practice: https://www.instagram.com/thepractice_greenwich/ Robin Kaden Robin is a registered dietician and personal trainer with more than 25 years of experience, specializing in functional nutrition and skin health by helping clients heal from the inside out. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robinbarrie/ AJ Schrag AJ is a group fitness instructor, endurance athlete, and founder of Stamford Run Club, where he has built a thriving running community focused on accessibility, accountability, and connection through movement. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/aj_schrag/ Stamford Run Club: https://www.instagram.com/stamford.runclub/ Andrea Della Mura Andrea is the owner of The DripBar Rye and a two-time cancer survivor who has built a wellness business centered around proactive health, community, and integrative healing. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/andrea.della.mura/ The DripBar Rye: https://www.instagram.com/thedripbar.rye/ What We Discuss The concept of "yet" and how pivotal life moments create opportunities for change The role wellness played in overcoming personal hardship Why community is one of the most powerful tools for long-term health The importance of sustainable habits over quick fixes How coaches and wellness professionals help people move past resistance The psychology behind motivation, discipline, and behavior change Why celebrating small wins is critical for long-term success The difference between looking fit and actually being healthy How nutrition, fitness, recovery, and preventative health work together Why purpose often emerges after life's most difficult challenges Key Themes From the Conversation The Power of "Yet" A "yet" represents a turning point — the moment someone recognizes something must change. For some people it's a health scare, a personal loss, burnout, or a realization that their current lifestyle is no longer sustainable. The panelists emphasize that these moments can either push us deeper into negative cycles or motivate us to seek support and create lasting change. Wellness Is a Long-Term Commitment Real growth rarely happens through dramatic overnight change. Instead, it's built through consistent habits, small victories, and long-term commitment to personal health. Whether it's nutrition, training, recovery, or mindset work, sustainable wellness comes from embracing the process — even when it's repetitive or uncomfortable. Community Accelerates Growth One of the most powerful takeaways from the panel is the role community plays in transformation. From run clubs to coaching relationships to wellness spaces like The DripBar, having people around you who support your journey can dramatically increase the likelihood of long-term success. Community provides accountability, encouragement, and a reminder that no one has to navigate their challenges alone. About Purpose Panels Purpose Panels are live events created by Adam as an extension of the Finding Purpose Podcast. These gatherings bring together leaders from different fields to have authentic conversations about growth, resilience, and the experiences that shape who we become. The goal is simple: Create spaces where people can learn, connect, and walk away with tools that help them move forward in their own lives. Future Purpose Panels will continue to explore themes around wellness, entrepreneurship, personal development...
