Have you ever read a book that changed your life? A book that ties together all of the threads that you’ve been chasing, and suddenly your life feels like there’s some hope?
What if you had a chance to meet the author of that book?
And what if that author hosted a meeting so that like minded people can get together and begin to create community?
And what if that event was freaking awesome!!
That’s how me and today’s guest, Adam Avenus, met. We both read a book called The Third Door by Alex Banayan that completely changed our lives by helping us redefine what was possible in life. Adam and I met at last year’s event in July 2022.
Adam has lived in downtown Toronto for about 9 years and has a background in real estate. He’s started his business in the personal development space and getting ready to launch an app this summer and he has finised writing his first book.
He is a published poet and former Poetry Slam Competitor, and is coming up on his first year of sobriety. He is a daily meditator of 45+ minutes, and is a proud member of the 5AM Club.
Like everyone else at the Third Door event we met, we didn’t pull any punches with the questions asked each other. Gone were the measuring stick trivial questions about how people made their money, instead asking about what filled them with life every day.
We keep that going in this episode.
We talk about the idea of a resurrection of self and how empty Adam’s life felt when he was only focused on chasing money.
We talk about the life-changing power of finding a mentor and the power of asking questions instead of talking about yourself.
Then we dive deepr into Adam’s sobriety and how learning to sit with his feelings instead of feeding his addictions helped him pursue his life purpose.
We talk about our experiences with other addictions like food and weed and porn, and the power, or demise, that can come with the way we speak to ourselves.
The name of his upcoming app is Live Aligned, and after hearing from Adam, you’ll see why he’s the perfect person to share it with the world.
Other topics we discuss include:
- embracing our softer side as men in a society that discourages us from doing so
- the lack of support you might get when becoming sober
- positive habits that Adam implemented to support his sobriety
- how we put the wrong goals in front of our real desires
- Adam’s experience stepping away from writing for many years before
- how to manage tackling mulitple passions
