Ideas Into Action

In the seventh episode of Sage Advice, Hamza Khan sits down with best-selling author and strategist Adam Rodricks for a fast, funny, and heartfelt conversation about love, ambition, and becoming more human in the process. As National Director of Social Growth & Experience at KPMG Canada, Adam shares the lessons he’s learned on stage, in therapy, and at home with his wife and daughter. He and Hamza talk shop about public speaking, walkout songs, parenting while keynoting, and the tug-of-war between comparison and collaboration. Adam opens up about the influence of his late therapist, the power of choosing the right partner, and the courage it takes to actually feel your feelings. His three pieces of sage advice: 1) The most important decision you’ll make is who you partner with. 2) Don’t compete. Collaborate. 3) To heal, you’ve got to feel. This is an episode about letting go of ego and learning to lead with heart.
