In this episode of The Fuck It Shift, host Adam Ross takes on one of the biggest traps holding people back: the chase for perfection.

From his early days in broadcasting school to leading teams and raising a family, Adam shares how perfection isn’t just impossible — it’s destructive. He explains why chasing flawless results keeps you stuck, why failing hard is actually the real win, and how embracing imperfection is the fastest path to growth.

This isn’t a pep talk about “doing your best.” It’s about letting go of control, accepting the chaos of life, and learning to thrive in the mess. Adam’s raw stories — from telling his kids to fail harder, to comparing life to clay on a potter’s wheel — will flip the way you think about success, leadership, and happiness.

If you’ve ever stalled on a dream because you were waiting for the “perfect” moment, this one’s for you.

Whether you’re leading a business, navigating relationships, or just trying to keep your head above water, this conversation is a reminder that the real magic happens when you stop chasing perfect and start embracing the perfectly imperfect.
