In this week's episode, I sit down with Adam Vonrothfelder, the former professional fighter and creator of The Strong Coffee Company. Adam has dedicated his life to human optimization and unique training methods, and has built a truly exceptional company.
During our conversation, we explore Adam's unique childhood, his brief stint in professional fighting, and the many lives he has lived since. We discuss how he stayed positive and continued to pivot after experiencing so much change and loss. Finally, we delve into the genesis of Adam's company, Strong Coffee. We discuss how the initial idea was born, the battles he has faced with corporate companies, and why he remains motivated to build the brand despite having so many other options on the table. Adam is an incredible individual, and everyone can learn something valuable from his story.
