Today Adam sits down with Timm Chiusano. Timm is an Emmy‑winning former Fortune 100 creative executive turned writer and creator who now teaches appreciation, leadership and work‑life sanity to millions online.
In this conversation Timm breaks down the idea of getting “addicted to appreciation” – the daily practice that helped him lead 240 people at a Fortune 100 company, walk away from a ~$700k salary, and build a life that actually feels good, not just looks good.
We go deep on how a single line from his mom - “you have two choices in life, a good time or a bad time” - carried his family through addiction, cancer and career setbacks, and how that same mindset can change how you see your own problems today.
