Hi, I'm Adam.... I start stuff.

“What do you do here?”

 

That’s a question I often ask people in organizations. It’s interesting to hear people describe their roles, their jobs, their sets of tasks. Some people are self-limiting (“I sort the TPS reports every Thursday”), while others are grandiose (“I’m responsible for our culture”).

 

Almost no one says, “I start stuff.”

 

This is astonishing if you think about it. If there’s no one starting stuff, then where does innovation come from? Where is the VP of starting?

I'm a hyper-organized Christ follower, designer, marketer, runner, serial entreprenuer with an addiction to Apple products. Saying that "I start stuff" is not some way of making myself sound cool (I'm not). It's just me enjoying the long-awaited realization that all my seemingly random skills can actually add up to a purpose. I'm Adam, and I start stuff.
