1: How Adam Kremer Became the CEO of a Solar Company
The latest episode of The Traded Life featuring Greg Michelman had an amazing guest, Adam Kremer, the young CEO of Royal Royalty Renewables. Adam had worked hard and achieved success at a very young age, and his story is an inspiration for many young people who want to follow their passion and excel in life. In the podcast episode, Adam shared his journey, starting from being an electrician in the oil field to becoming the CEO of a solar company.
Here are three tips that young people can learn from Adam’s journey:
1. Pursue your passion: It’s essential to follow your passion and do what you love. Adam started his career as an electrician, but he felt that it was not his true calling. He took a chance and started his own solar company, which aligned with his passion for renewable energy.
2. Take opportunities: Adam moved to Colorado to pursue his dream of starting a solar company. He took the opportunity to work for a big solar company initially to gain experience and knowledge of the industry, which helped him later in his journey.
3. Hard work pays off: Adam shows that hard work pays off in the long run. He worked hard, sacrificed, and took many risks to achieve success. His journey is a testament to the fact that dedication, determination, and hard work can lead to success.
In the words of Adam Kremer, “Helping people become better every day is the goal,” and listening to his inspiring story is a step towards personal growth and improvement. Therefore, I encourage everyone to listen to this podcast episode and hear Adam’s inspiring journey.
Blog post 2: The Importance of Taking a Break from Social Media
The latest episode of The Traded Life featuring Adam Kremer touches upon the topic of social media, its effects, and the importance of taking a break from it. In the podcast, Greg Michelman and Adam Kremer discussed how social media can take away our focus and distract us from our goals, and how taking a break from it can help us gain clarity and motivation to move forward.
Here are three tips that everyone should consider to disconnect from social media and recharge:
1. Take a break: It’s essential to take a break from social media and disconnect from it frequently. Being away from the virtual world can help to de-stress and get a fresh perspective on things.
2. Use social media wisely: Using social media wisely and effectively can help avoid distractions and stay focused. One should limit their use, block notifications, and use social media for useful and informative purposes.
3. Seek support: Talking to friends and family and seeking support can help overcome social media addiction. Joining support groups and therapy sessions can help to prevent getting too caught up in the digital world.
As Greg Michelman said, “Sometimes, it takes our focus away, sometimes not all the time. Like, as long as you're using it the right way, but you can get so caught up in all the sh*t going on.” Therefore, I encourage everyone to listen to this episode and understand the importance of taking a break from social media to focus on personal growth and well-being.
