This week on the New Rules Podcast, we flipped the script. Our incredible producer Lauren stepped in front of the mic with full permission to ask Adrian anything with no prep, no rules, no limits.

From the lighthearted "What five items would resurrect your ghost?" to the deeply personal balancing calling, insecurity, and vanity, this conversation goes everywhere: marriage, parenting, community, leadership, childhood memories, and even Lauren's obsession with fire.

It's unscripted, unfiltered, and unexpectedly vulnerable. If you've ever wondered what Adrian really thinks when he's off the cuff, this is the episode for you.

In this episode:

• Marriage lessons + parenting reflections

• What he's learned from watching his kids grow up

• Childhood imagination, courage, and calling

• Why self-doubt and waiting felt like torture

• AI, authenticity, and the future of leadership

• Community as joy and inconvenience

• Why you can't force someone's growth
