Coming alive, coming out - with Adam Powney
Adam Powney—a dedicated army reservist, social media manager, and openly gay man—reveals his transformative journey from a sensitive, artistic young man unsure about fitting into the military to finding his place and thriving in an environment where he once thought he didn’t belong.
Reflecting on the advice he would give his 18-year-old self, Adam emphasises the importance of being true to who you are in the moment and not being overly concerned with others' opinions.
Listen as Lindsay MacDuff, The Culture Colonel, explores Adam's personal evolution, from the unexpected relief of coming out to the realisation that respect and mutual understanding can bridge seemingly vast differences. Adam shares the pivotal role of his values—create, serve and hope—in shaping his career and personal life, and reflects on how embracing his true self has empowered him to contribute positively both at work and in his wider community. Join Lindsay and Adam as they discuss how coming alive and being genuine can lead to a more meaningful and impactful life.
