TESTIMONIALS
What others are saying
Just some of the founders who have worked with Adam and gone on to successfully exit.
“I worked closely with Adam for over a year at Manifesto. His advice, experience, industry knowledge and network have helped us make confident decisions, meet new people, avoid potential pitfalls and keep focus. On a personal level he's been professional, pragmatic and a great support to me whilst taking the company to the next level.”
Jim Bowes
Manifesto (Exited)
“It's been a pleasure working with Adam over the recent years. Adam has endless experience of working within large agencies and helping guide agencies from a strategic point of view. Through Adam's assistance we have grown very quickly as a company. It's always great to have someone with Adam's experience who you can bounce ideas off and keep ahead of the field.”
Mike Grindy
Passion Digital (Exited)
“I can honestly say Adam has been a game-changer for our company. We've drawn on his experience, knowledge and well-rounded expertise to help us navigate evolving challenges and opportunities that have come up. A year in and the results speak for themselves; ambitious growth targets beaten by a big margin and our team highly motivated and focussed on taking our agency to the next level.”
Mark Lusted
Dock 9 (Exited)
“Adam helped open our eyes to the possibility that we could create real value by selling our business. He helped line up the deal and supported us all the way through the process. I can honestly say it was a pivotal moment for my life.”
Tom Chapman
Creative Cherry (Exited)
“Adam is the real deal. He's helped me grow my business significantly and I look forward to working with him into the future. The things I value most about Adam are that he challenges me to be my future self, that he focuses on quality time not just clocking hours, that he takes an objective look at our situation and gives me advice from an expert perspective, and that he'll roll up his sleeves and be hands-on when needed.”
David Lockie
Pragmatic Digital
“Adam has been a superb consultant and mentor. His experience and creative insights into the advertising, agency and digital world has been vital for our growth and development as an organisation. I would, and have, recommended him over and over again to anyone looking to grow their business.”

QUESTIONS
Questions founders ask before joining.
How long does the Academy take?+
It's self-paced. Most founders work through a module every 1-2 weeks alongside running their business, completing it in ~3 months.
Do I need to be selling soon?+
No. Many Academy members are 3-5 years out from exit and using the time to prepare properly.
What's the refund policy?+
If you complete the first two modules and don't find them valuable, we'll refund you in full within the first 30 days.
Is there live access to Adam?+
No – this is a self-paced course, not a coaching program. For strategic questions, use the Business Navigator AI included with your Academy access.
