Try Life On 156: Money Buys Options. Vision Creates Life — The Adam Coelho Story.
What if getting fired was the best thing that ever happened to you?
On this episode of Try Life On, Maurice Philogene sits down with Adam Coehlo to unpack his unexpected journey from a high-powered career at Google to semi-retired entrepreneur. After a performance warning forced a crossroads, Adam used his financial independence and mindfulness practice to bet on himself—launching a new path rooted in purpose, not pressure.
They explore how redefining success, embracing uncertainty, and prioritizing fulfillment over money can completely transform your life.
Key Takeaways:
- How mindfulness reveals—and rewrites—the stories holding you back- Why financial independence gives you freedom, but vision gives you direction- The shift from chasing money to building a life centered on connection and joy
If you’ve ever questioned the path you’re on, this conversation might just inspire you to try a different one—and truly try life on.
