Mid-week Ep 151: Adam Quiney

On this week’s episode, Adam Quiney is back from Costa Rica and sharing the ideas that followed him home. In a wide-ranging, unscripted reflection, Adam explores leadership as the capacity to hold tension rather than resolve it too quickly, what happens when we collapse that tension, and how these dynamics show up in everything from our inner lives to modern systems. Along the way, he weaves together reflections on the fundamental laws of the universe, the emerging role of AI, cultural signals like Ozempic and other GLP-1s, and, true to form, a handful of clumsy but surprisingly useful analogies made up on the spot. The result is a thoughtful, playful, and provocative solo episode that invites leaders to sit with complexity, resist easy answers, and expand what they’re capable of holding.
