All In or In the Way

In this episode, Tom Marino and Adam Hurd dive deep into what it really means to step out of self-employment and into true CEO leadership—at work and at home.

What We Cover in This Episode:

• The trap of self-employment: Why so many business owners simply create a new prison for themselves instead of finding freedom.
• Gary Vee’s challenge: “If you want it so bad, how are you not doing everything you can?” Adam and Tom unpack the meaning behind this mindset and how it applies to entrepreneurs.
• All in or in the way: The philosophy that has fueled Atomic Business Coaching and why commitment is non-negotiable.
• The power of clarity: Tom shares a Tony Robbins insight—“Clarity creates power”—and explains how values, beliefs, and behaviors shape both life and business success.
• Beliefs vs. values: Why unexamined beliefs create frustration and misalignment, and how choosing your beliefs leads to intentional values and sustainable growth.
• Certainty and decision-making: Adam stresses the importance of not just having clarity but pairing it with certainty and agency to take decisive action.

Key Takeaways:

• Commitment means doing everything you can—but it doesn’t mean doing it alone. Getting help is part of being all in.
• Obsession fuels commitment. If you’re not obsessed, it’s going to be hard to stay consistent.
• Your beliefs dictate your values, and your values dictate your behaviors. Examine them regularly.
• Clarity without action is useless. You need certainty and agency to translate clarity into growth.
• Sustainable business success comes from alignment, consistency, and purpose—not just one big win.
