Segment 2

Adam opens this segment by giving the audience a brief description of his background in prior careers. He talks about his career as a lifeguard. He shares a memorable story of how him and other lifeguards had to search for a missing swimmer. After that experience, he remembers what his boss told him; “no one goes down on our watch”. That lesson stuck with him for the rest of his life. He was happy that he had a work environment like that. He went on to become a lawyer, and he saw his career as he was “guarding” his clients. He also talks about how he was “guarding” his finances and his family. He speaks of the moment when he realized his life was not going the way he planned; he was working too much and missing out on his family time. Adam and his wife eventually worked out a plan for their family. Instead of quitting his job, he just shifted his life a bit; and soon wrote the book, PIVOT: The Art and Science of Reinventing Your Career and Life. He ends the segment by reassuring the audience how you don’t have to quit; you can pivot your life to make things better..
