What motivates you to keep going? What drives you to succeed? We all have our own reasons and it’s important to have an intimate relationship with these intentions; and not only what these intentions are, but where exactly they are coming from. Along my journey, I met Adapia D’errico, whom we are connecting with today. She is someone I truly admire, for her ability to balance ambition and purpose, logic and intuition, and striving while arriving. As a respected thought-leader, Adapia has co-founded businesses, launched brands and refined industries. From entrepreneur and FinTech executive to mentor and transformational speaker, this woman does it all and she lives what she teaches. In this episode, we’ll discuss some of Adapia’s most meaningful changes in her life; she’ll share some of her practices to get the most out of the left & right side of the brain; and she will tell us the deep lessons she learned from a video featuring her that unexpectedly went viral with over 33 million views (original speech). She reminds us that even when things may seem bad, there is always a hidden gift, if we’re open to receiving it. Adapia helps me to remember to ask the deeper questions and to always find ways to instill meaning into all of life’s experiences- whether that is in a yoga class or in an executive meeting of an investment firm. Adapia is a deep, loving soul, and I’m excited to share our conversation with you.
