My guest Adam Shaw is an ex-nurse who has spent time with around 1000 people (mostly heart patients but included some with other terminal illnesses) who were at the end of their lives. Clearly, Adam has a different perspective on health, wellbeing, self-development, and personal growth. Adam has also worked as a chef, a fitness instructor, a waiter, a banker, a meditation coach, and a mentor. He has worked with hundreds of CEOs to raise funds for their businesses. Adam also provides training for business confidence and Public Speaking. Adam is on his way to write another book and on his new adventure of helping people struggling with #mentalhealth issues.
