Adam Marburger: Moments That Change Us For Good
Adam Marburger is the CEO of Ascent Dealer Services and owner of Alton Family Martial Arts & Fitness in the Greater St. Louis area. His recently released book, "You're the F*cking Problem" explores how we can get out of our own way to create the life and business of our dreams.
What we discuss in this episode:
Adam shares that he is a giant work in progress. "I'm a God-loving and God-fearing, man. I'm a father to three incredible, incredible little girls. Um, I'm kind of a psychopath for business. Um, I'm a junkie for personal development, um, and I'm a work in progress every single day. I just try to get a little bit better knowing that I'm extremely flawed. Um, I'm patient with myself now a little more than I used to be, and I'm extremely self-aware and being self-aware has allowed me to do more than I've ever done in my life. So that's kind of in a nutshell who I am and, and, and who, what I like to do."
Adam shares his backstory of living with a father who had a drinking problem, and a mother who "covered it up with perfume." He recalls a specific experience where he decided that he didn't want to be anything like his father and that someday he would make something of himself.
There are many defining moments that help shape who we are today. Those experiences, either good or bad, have a unique way of shaping and refining us. For Adam, it was when his daughter was born. "Something kind of snapped inside of me. God blessed me with this little girl. I have a lot of responsibility — I have to make some changes including some of the things I was doing and some of the people I was hanging out with."
