Change ProofChange happens. Resilience expert Adam Markel and his inspiring guests teach you how to embrace and leverage change in order to thrive. No matter what life throws your way.


Change Proof explores breakthrough strategies to fully embrace an uncertain world and build the resilience required to turn stress, upset and even crisis to your advantage. Imagine being able to truly bounce forward through disruption and change instead of getting knocked down by it, riding it out, or simply reacting to it.


Resilience is the secret key―the “it” factor―and the thing Change Proof host Adam Markel knows best. In his bestseller, PIVOT, Adam taught how building resilience can supercharge your life and career. Now, he shows how becoming Change Proof helps you move beyond managing change to actively embracing it — actually using times of uncertainty, crisis, and chaos to create opportunities and stimulate individual and team growth. Through insightful discussions with business leaders, social innovators and inspiring authorities, Resilience Expert Adam Markel uncovers and shares ways to utilize change, fully embrace new opportunities, master the art and science of innovation in today’s disruptive marketplace, and use your “disadvantages'' as stepping stones. 


Whether you lead a team, pursue entrepreneurial passions or are looking to achieve a higher capacity in your performance and life, Change Proof is the place for life-changing stories, and real tools you can actually use―AND WILL WANT TO! 


Change Proof is about thriving instead of just surviving. And this is a skill you can cultivate, both personally and professionally. Using case studies, current research, and real-life anecdotes from his work as an executive mentor, Markel and his guests explore concrete actions you can take in order to become “change proof” and change your relationship with change.


Bestselling Author, Renowned Keynote Speaker, Business Mentor, and CEO, Adam Markel has accomplished plenty and checked life’s “success boxes” and all of that work showed him something very profound about life in general―it’s not always about that. You can have success and still be unhappy. You can be in charge and still have stress. You can build your dream and not feel fulfilled. Change Proof goes beyond the topical, beyond the check boxes, beyond the list of things we think we’re supposed to be doing, to uncover the layer where our performance, peace and happiness exist.


When we think of resilience, we think of being able to “roll with the punches” and “bounce back” after uncertainty or change. But Resilience Expert and Researcher Adam Markel encourages you to aim higher. Change Proof is a show that will teach you how to truly, actually embrace change―to find the creative opportunity in uncertainty, as opposed to simply riding it out or reacting to it. 


Let’s get real. You could be aiming higher. You could be thriving instead of surviving. You could be hitting back when life throws punches―instead of dodging and ducking. And there is no better time than right now to take back your life and to love it, no matter what. 


Change Proof isn’t just a podcast, it’s a life philosophy that shows you how to truly, actually embrace change―to find the silver lining, use uncertainty to your advantage, and pivot when life is stressful, into something that serves you instead of something that stops you. 


Drop into weekly episodes so full of the good stuff you won’t hear on any other show, you’ll be binging and growing instead of watching those reruns of Friends you’ve already seen anyway. When you tune in, you will learn how to thrive on uncertainty instead of merely managing it. This is where it begins, this is where you stop running from pivots and learn to love leaning into them, even when you aren’t sure of the outcome. 


Through Change Proof, Adam Markel offers a much needed dose of energy, HEART and real talk to your day, making this a show experts call “bingeable” and “a must listen".

He emphasized that stress is only a problem when it exceeds our capacity to adapt to it. When we adapt in an optimal way, we achieve harmony in the relationship between our parasympathetic and sympathetic nervous systems.

But Sandra Joseph didn’t just get rejected from her auditions; she even started getting rejected from waitressing jobs four and a half years into her five-year dream-chase in New York. Just as she was starting to think her Broadway dreams were over, her agent got her an opportunity to audition for The Phantom of the Opera. That pivot of a lifetime set her on a course that would eventually make her the longest-running female lead in Broadway’s longest-running show.

Join in as Sandra graces the show with her elegant presence and talks to Adam Markel about authentic presence, living with gratitude, and implementing practices that help you create a wholesome existence, whether onstage or in life.

Life and business strategist Chris Salem says the problem and the solution are in the same place, you just have to go within and understand the root cause behind the effects of limiting patterns in our business and personal lives. Chris adds we have to be able to resolve the root cause at the source, to truly forgive the source, and not only the source itself but also more importantly you. He explains that at that point when you truly release it from your system, you have the ability now to be looking through the same process of meditation and journaling to find the solution, find your purpose, and then adopt better habits and disciplines and a specific life and business strategy that takes you to where you want to go, what your true purpose and calling is, and whatever your duty is to serve others.

That’s what Mark Gober is asserting in his book called An End to Upside Down Thinking. Mark Gober is an author whose worldview was turned upside down in late 2016 when he learned of a world-changing science which suggests that contrary to the mainstream view, consciousness does not come from the brain. After researching extensively for nearly a year, he became convinced that a paradigm shift was in order: biology does not produce consciousness; rather, consciousness produces biology. Mark talks about his concept of consciousness and how it can affect our happiness and the way we live. He goes through his book where he recounts his journey, from exploring compelling scientific evidence from diverse spaces ranging from quantum physics to psychic phenomena to near-death experiences, and beyond. With his book, Mark aims to shift our view of the human potential and understand the true nature of reality.

This leads TED speaker, award winning social entrepreneur, and somatic intelligence life coach Chen Lizra to believe how people are actually more afraid to succeed than not. This is the reason why so many end up self-sabotaging because pain and struggle seems more familiar. Yet many people don’t realize this which causes them to continue with their old ways and crumble into fear. Chen takes us into a path of learning how to live and think in greatness through bodywork and experiencing somatic intelligence. She also talks about the importance of feeling and learning through the body.

There's a lot going on that it’s so easy to be frazzled, frenzied, and pressured. Everything piles up and we live in a state of overwhelm. How do you create happiness intentionally? Communications expert, brand consultant, and executive coach Sam Horn says you just need to get out of your head and calm and come to your senses. Sam believes that the happiness we seek is available anytime we want for a moment's notice, and that we see something deeply when we are 100% present. If we stop for a moment even in the midst of that and look around us, we’re reminded of what really matters and gives us more grace about handling the responsibilities in our life. As Henry Miller quote says, when we give close attention to anything, even a blade of grass becomes an indescribably beautiful work. Sam talks about what happiness means and shares how she’s been able to handle pivots, adversity, and stress.

If we connect with the soul or listen to the inspirations and the impulses of our soul, it will guide you on a pathway that is so much better than your mind could ever imagine. The battle of Jennifer McLean’s life has been to listen to the soul and not the fears, worries, upsets, and stresses that the mind creates. Jennifer is an internationally acclaimed healer, author, speaker, edge pusher, and transformational change agent. She is the creator of the renowned healing accelerant, the Spontaneous Transformation Technique (STT), that delivers instant transformation and healing in seven to ten minutes. Jennifer shares that she was stressed out in her business and wasn’t necessarily happy. She was the definition of success, but the pivot point came when she was burnt out and couldn't do it anymore. She realized there's more than just the business A to B to C to D. There's the soul, and when the soul says you're done with something, it doesn't matter how hard you hang on, you are moving on. Jennifer unpacks the challenges she faced and the pivot she did in order for her to finally love her life.

Most of us are so lost in everyday life that we don't know what our purpose is, what we are good at, and what truly brings us joy. Most of us are caught up in only focusing on wanting to make a comfortable living. Japanese novelist Ken Honda, known as the "Warren Buffet of Japan", argues that if you know who you are and what you’re supposed to do, you can still be happy even though you may not have money. Ken discovered that if you do what you love, you’re more likely to succeed than pursuing something you don’t like. Ken discusses the findings from his many books that have supported people in their quest to do what they love and who, in the process, find happiness and money. What can you do to find who you are?

Many of you might feel the same or have felt that way at one point or another. When Mary started to realize that she wasn't being true to herself and that there was so much within her to express, she started on her public speaking journey. She decided to work on her public speaking skills so that she could articulate herself in public without feeling self-conscious. This journey revealed to Mary the power of what she embodied and the importance of our presence in every conversation. We don't know always know what people will take away from how we show up in the world. The secret is to simply be yourself when you’re speaking instead of being somone you assume the world wants to hear.

The quality of our life is equal to the quality of our relationships. Every relationship has ups and downs, peaks and valleys, and having the skill set to build relationships gives you the ability to create and sustain high-quality relationships. Blaine Bartlett, CEO and president of the consulting firm Avatar Resources, Inc. says the average length of most of his client engagements runs about a decade, which in the consulting business is crazy. He says it’s all about the qualitative side of the work that he does with the folks. Blaine shares that compassionate capitalism is all about the ability to build sustainable relationships and focusing on the area of conflict. In his life in business, he discovered early on that an organization is a collection of people that are in relationship. There are interpersonal relationships that people have with each other and the companies and businesses. There are relationships with vision, with mission, with values. There are relationships that people have with their chairs, with their desks. Everything you encounter in an organization has a relationship component to it. Blaine says the success of an organization, whether it's a family or a business, is going to be predicated on how successful the relationships are actually functioning.

This is what Bobbi DePorter of the Quantum Learning Network realized after years of research. Teachers graduate university with a set of expectations and goals for the learning environment they'll create. Yet when they get into the classroom, the real world is often different. It’s an academic tragedy. For example, the students just don't engage and participate as visualized. Now, through the Quantum Learning Network, teachers are trained in how to create that positive environment of joy so students can love learning.



Bobbi DePorter is president of Quantum Learning Network, which produces SuperCamp summer enrichment programs now with 78,000 graduates and programs in 19 countries; and Quantum Learning Education (QL), with programs for teachers, administrators, students and parents. QL has trained over 100,000 teachers and through these programs and the 8 Keys of Excellence movement, has impacted more than twenty million students over the last 30+ years for their children. Their programs teach unique learning and life skills to teenagers in a fun, dynamic way.

]]>40#39: Reaction, Reinvention and Radical Responsibility With Jason Goldberg7-uhJfuhrMon, 08 Jan 2018 11:00:00 GMT2947https://adammarkel.com/reaction-reinvention-and-radical-responsibility-with-jason-goldberg/falseReinvention is a response moment where you are given the option to access a greater consciousness that can lead to a life of joy. Yet, the life of TEDx speaker and Prison Break author Jason Goldberg didn’t start with joy but with a lot of anger. As a kid, Jason was constantly looking for a person to blame. This weighed heavily on him, even when he was living a great life with a great wife, family and job in IT. The day his credit card was cut off and he couldn’t buy a pair of socks was the day he realized he needed to stop blaming others and start developing a sense of radical responsibility. His livelihood and even what he does on stage to inspire people doesn’t define who he is, rather who he chooses to be at any given moment. Jason shares his story of being a guy who always carried a blame meter to the man who passionately spreads joy to the world as much as he can.

There's just nothing more important than the recognition of how special this moment is and how blessed we are. That's blessing us in every moment despite the fact that there are things that are wrong in the world and things that we don't love about our lives and things that are going sideways at times in parts of our business or our personal life that we'd like to change or improve. Despite that, it's such a blessing to be here and to recognize that in this moment there are people who are taking their last breath. For us to breathe and be here breathing together is even that much more special and is something to be grateful for. I'm enormously grateful to be here with you and doubly grateful because, as I've been so blessed to do, I get to share the stories of people who have done amazing things in their lives, have been resilient, have been smart, have been not smart, have been the whole gamut of the human experience in context of business and also in personal areas.

I'm really, really reveling in how great it is to be alive and how blessed and lucky I feel to be with you wherever you are at the moment. We’re connected through this podcast, connected through this Conscious PIVOT community and that’s a gift. That’s a gift in my life. I hope it’s a gift in yours as well. I've got an incredible guest on the show. I'm going to introduce you to him but I’ll say a couple of words first about him and then he is going to tell us about his pivot journey. I know that so many of you out there are deep, deep, deep in your pivot. Deep into the midst of it and sometimes it’s the muck and sometimes it’s the mire and sometimes it’s being on top of a mountain feeling like it’s the greatest thing in the world that’s ever happened. That’s the nature of pivoting. That’s the nature of making changes in our lives based on what our heart is directing us to do often and that takes courage. It takes guts. It’s takes fortitude. It takes resilience. It’s not for the faint of heart, that’s for sure. It’s for people who love their lives and love to get after it. This gentleman that I'm going to share with you, he gets after it.



One of the things that I really love about him is his energy, his enthusiasm, his authenticity. I've gotten the chance to work with him so he is not a stranger to me. He’s actually a friend, he’s a colleague and he’s somebody that I've gotten the chance to spend some time mentoring and working with directly related to his pivot and in particular, his getting after the speaking piece of his business model that he wants to work on, public speaking. That’s something that terrifies so many people, the idea of standing up in front of a crowd of people and speaking and sharing some information. It is truly such a transformational opportunity, an opportunity to help people change their lives and at the same time build relationships that promote and assist in the development of your business. This gentleman is no exception to that. He’s working on this deep, deep, deep. His name is Brett Grossman. He is a father like me, a husband, a daddy, a trainer, a serial entrepreneur and a financial services expert. He resides in beautiful Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

I talk with Josh Trent, host of Wellness Force Radio, and a fitness industry expert that, among other things, explores consciousness and technology and the impact on humanity. Josh has incredible energy, I'm sure mostly thanks to his focus on what he calls "emotional and wellness intelligence". Josh shares his biggest pivot story, ironically occurring 3 years ago when we met.  He shares how he grew up without the physiology or mental tools to deal with the stresses of life and how he used fitness as a catalyst for wellness. He discovered that most people use the vehicle of fitness to start letting go of weight and energy that doesn’t serve them until they ultimately realize that wellness is a continuum - or a life path.

]]>28#27: The Power of Challenge with John Assaraf7Mk2qOeNoWed, 04 Oct 2017 10:00:00 GMT4311https://adammarkel.com/the-power-of-challenge-show-27-with-john-assaraf/falseToday I had the honor of talking with a good friend, John Assaraf. In addition to John’s many accomplishments and his near-celebrity status (he was featured in the Secret), he’s the CEO of Neurogym. Once a year, he and his company bring us the Brain-a-thon, a full day of amazing content on the brain – all for free. I am truly blessed to call him a friend. Aside from being successful in business, he is truly a solid human being.



In this episode we talk about successful navigation through challenges. Including giving yourself permission to realize that it’s not realistic to be doing amazing in every area of your life all the time. Not even people like John. As he puts it, we are all fellow humanitarians trying to figure out the path and the complexities of life. Every day is a new challenge – a challenge that we use as a way to grow. We talk about the concepts of balance vs. harmony and having healthy expectations as much as a big vision. John also shares a very personal pivot, discussing the nature of addiction and dependency and recognizing the power that resides in all of us. John’s company, Neurogym, is dedicated to studying ways we can use the brain to handle challenges even faster. He talks about the neural underpinnings of fear and challenge, and breaking free of these patterns.

Cathy shares her pivot from the “pressure cooker” of a publicly traded company (that she founded and took public) to a business she loves and the blessing of being a lifestyle entrepreneur. Cathy’s struggle with a stress-based illness and the often conflicting interests of corporate life, drove her determination to conquer how to become successful in business, without paying the prices she previously paid. She too dismisses the myth of “balance”, and instead advocates for taking a longer term approach to holding a vision, redefining what success means, and then “relaxing into it”. Cathy and I also talk about success rituals and the creative tension between wanting to build something really big and exciting - and enjoying the process along the way.

Eric and I discuss the "first principle of business": Getting your body right, what it takes to really make that happen, and the impact of, in Eric's own terms, a medical education system that doesn't focus at all on food and a food manufacturing system that doesn't focus on health. Eric credits his incredibly eclectic business successes to his own major health pivot in his early 20's and a later recognition that changed his life forever and fostered his mission to bring great health to so many others.

Through his talks and online courses, Brandon has guided more than 2,000 people from over 50 countries to find, live and lead with their life's purpose.

I'm thrilled (as usual) to introduce you to yet another powerful individual who's made it their life mission to help others: George Bryant. George is so many things that he's hard to describe with the typical bio. Yes, he's the New York Times best-selling author of Paleo Kitchen. And, yes, he's created the #4 app in the world, Caveman Feast 3.0. And yes, he's an online powerhouse. Yet, he calls these "superficial achievements". George's most important achievements are his own PIVOTs which led him to thriving as a bonus dad, loving father, an amazing husband to an amazing wife, and a person committed to many things. Not the least of his commitments is helping people and organizations put the heart back into their businesses. George helps them connect with what it means to BE in business and how to carry their ethos and vision INTO the business so that everyone they touch get that they matter in every step of the journey.



George and I discuss these pivots and how he's successfully utilized change to create an incredible life. One of the most fundamental success factors is how you think about yourself and your own sense of worthiness. George shares that, despite all of his "superficial" success, true success came only when he tackled the life-long work of worthiness, his own trampled by a tough childhood, almost losing both legs as a marine of 12 years, and his 12-year fight with bulimia. Whether it be food, fitness, mindset or business, George's mission is to put the heart back in all of it and truly connect.

]]>6#5: The Superhero Formula: BE, DO, HAVEtADB8uiwSFri, 03 Feb 2017 11:00:00 GMT1773https://adammarkel.com/the-superhero-formula-be-do-have/falseIn this podcast, I explore the concept of identity as a critical tool for a successful pivot. I use the term "superhero formula" because of the analogy of the superhero, Clark Kent aka Superman, who goes into a phone booth with one identify and emerges with a different identity. As children, we are programmed to believe the following "success formula":  You DO certain things in life in order to HAVE certain things to then BE someone whom others would respect as a result - DO-HAVE-BE. The superhero formula recognizes the flawed sequence of this. Many of us never find our true purpose and therefore "doing" is not the right first step.



The superhero success formula is BE-DO-HAVE in recognition that success lies with the concept of identity. The more you focus first on "being" the person you want to become, the more success you will have in your pivot!

]]>3#2: Pivoting Elegantlygh_JtcfJ_Sat, 14 Jan 2017 11:00:00 GMT2403https://adammarkel.com/pivoting-elegantly/falseIn my second podcast, I discuss the concept of what I call "pivoting elegantly". The compounding levels of change that we're all dealing with right now make it much more critical to work on our skills of adapting. We need to leverage change, instead of letting it take us out. A key part of this ability to leverage change - or pivot elegantly - is facing our fears head-on. I share a 5-step process that enables us to act in the face of, and despite of, our fear.  The magic of this process is that it turns something largely unconscious - the fear response - into a conscious choice.

]]>2#1: Intro To The Conscious PivotlKZz-BKwvFri, 16 Dec 2016 11:00:00 GMT1826https://adammarkel.com/intro-to-the-conscious-pivot/falseIn this first "official" podcast, I introduce what a Conscious PIVOT is all about. I discuss how the constant need for innovation today requires us to be able to pivot well in every aspect of our lives. I then delve into the critical elements of a successful pivot, including the importance of the 360-degree view, the relevance of self-actualization to business mastery, saying goodbye to the status quo, the necessity of being offense-minded, and more.



I'm blessed with a wonderful community. One of the most important reasons I'm doing a podcast is to be able to share and engage with all of you on a more interactive level. I look forward to your comments and questions below.

]]>1#0: The Conscious Pivot Podcast – The Trailerz8EgQI0hNTue, 06 Dec 2016 11:00:00 GMT783https://adammarkel.com/the-conscious-pivot-podcast-the-trailer/falseI'm so excited to be launching a podcast series called The Conscious PIVOT Podcast. This first podcast is what I'll call a "trailer" of what is to come in future podcasts. I'll be bringing to you powerful insights, interviews, stories and actionable advice on all topics related to creating greater impact in your personal and business life. Topics will range from entrepreneurship, reinvention, leadership, and money - to purpose, spirituality and relationships.



I firmly believe that in order to create greater impact, you need to have greater vision. Any successful "pivot" requires taking advantage of the 360-degree view afforded by the act of pivoting. This 360-degree view encompasses not only the technical skills that will allow you to succeed, but the awareness and self-mastery ability that forms a solid foundation on which to build your success.



I hope you'll join me for a much needed dose of energy, HEART and real talk as I and many of my guests delve into topics that will allow you to create "Greater Impact Through Greater Vision".
