In this episode, we will learn how Adam Karofsky wrote his story, from being on track to becoming a professor and pivoting to entrepreneurship. Adam's journey was dynamic; when he was a kid, he dreamt of being a professor and wanted to be immersed in anthropology. Still, in the end, he's now running a business that helps people craft their stories, "… that was my goal until things got shifted around, and like we all have to do, you pivot, and you shift into something different. And now I'm here writing for myself, writing for others, and helping people tell their stories."

In one of our conversations, Adam discussed writing and how getting out those first words or sentences is one of the most complex parts of the writing process. Starting anything is difficult, but he believes that once you get going, the momentum will take over from there. Trusting this process will lead to better opportunities and a more emotional narrative.
