Today on the Spartan Leadership Podcast, Josh Kosnick sits down with Adam Guard—entrepreneur, founder of Dreamer Cigars, and creator of Dreamers Health—to talk about leadership, entrepreneurship, and how to build a brand with purpose.

Adam’s journey is one of bold moves: leaving a stable real estate career the day before his wedding, building Dreamer Cigars into a viral brand with over 200 million views, and expanding his mission through Dreamers Health—a platform reshaping how people approach wellness and vitality.

In this episode, we dive into:

• How Adam transitioned from teacher and football coach to entrepreneur
• How Dreamer Cigars exploded on TikTok and YouTube
• The story behind creating a cigar for Dennis Rodman
• How to lead with integrity in a saturated market
• Launching DC University and Dreamers Health to drive deeper impact

Adam’s story is a blueprint for entrepreneurs who want to build, lead, and leave a lasting legacy.
