In this episode of The Fuck It Shift, Adam Ross shares the story of a moment that changed the course of his life.
While sitting in a boardroom during a difficult rebuilding phase, he was told that what he wanted to build was too hard and probably wouldn’t work. Instead of backing down, that moment sparked a realization—sometimes the people telling you to play it safe are simply uncomfortable with the idea of you succeeding.
Adam talks about why progress can make others uneasy, how outside opinions can quietly sabotage your growth, and why protecting your mindset is critical when you’re trying to build something bigger.
He also shares a powerful question to ask when facing big decisions: What’s the worst that could actually happen? Because many times, the risk isn’t nearly as big as the opportunity you might talk yourself out of.
