Adam was an inspiring entrepreneur and a family man, this is very sad indeed. ❤️
In my 20’s, I used to work on Wall Street.
People my age now (45) said they were working 70, 80, 90 hours a week for their families…but all their families actually wanted was their presence.
They didn’t understand why their families resented how much they worked when they lived in a nice house, and their kids went to private schools.
It was just the world we all lived in. We knew nothing else.
I decided early in my startup journey that wasn’t going to be me.
My co-founders and I have always had a policy of quitting at 5 or 5:30.
By that, I mean:
> Shut off my laptop
> No more work talk
> Go home to my family
Frequently I’m out even earlier - 3-5, depending on whether I want to do something with the kids.
I rarely travel for work and don’t entertain for work.
My family life gives me energy for my work.
My work gives me energy for my family life.
I'm trying to stay not burnt out and excited about this for several decades.
Can every founder choose this?
Maybe not everybody, but more people have the choice than realize they do.
There is great reward that comes from designing a business around the life you want.

Valentine's Day is a little different for us now, and it's been quite a year..
We've been building something. It grew fast. It's often loud.
And it definitely doesn't sleep. So let us introduce you properly to our newest member.

James Nikolai Brisley, the newest (and noisiest) member
One year old on Valentines.
Our most intense project yet.
Family for me is now the reason for the hard work, and a bit more freedom from the grind to spend time with them. And I love the game.

Cupid nailed it 💝 We're overjoyed to announce that our hearts became three today.
Our little boy "James Nikolai" arrived at 4am on love's favorite day, 3.7kgs of pure valentines love.
@MissDreamBody is doing nicely after 3 hard days labour.

A NEW Customer Found Us on ChatGPT! 🎉
They simply typed in "show me the best @Kajabi agency" and booked a call - they signed and paid for a 5 figure project within the hour.
Turns out, nailing SEO and leveraging AI can be a game-changer.
How how do we repeat that?

we each brought something unique to the table during our Submarine leadership training. But #armedforcesday reminds me that it was always about the team, supporting each other through thick and thin with a commitment to excellence even in the face of adversity.

On this triple celebration, I would raise a glass—or three—to the memories we've made, the challenges we've overcome, to the people, friends, family, and teammates who support us, and the boundless potential we've created in our castle by the sea.

" Petty Officer Matthew Connick MBE for demonstrating “innovation and vision” by developing and coding software – in his own time – that reduces the time submarines spend at periscope depth. "

People form the core of the Royal Navy's capability. Its submariners are a special breed who not only maintain the UKs Nuclear Deterrent, but also crew the hunter killer subs that give the UK such a huge advantage over our adversaries.
