About this episode

Adam Trenk has achieved a career in law, business and politics by the time he turned 30. Becoming a Vice Mayor in his 20's he epitomizes the idea of challenging oneself and the slogan "just do it". He also happened to be Justin's bully in 2nd grade. Today we talk to him about the sudden and recent death of his greatest mentor, his grandfather, and the life lessons he's learned from him. We talk about a troubled childhood, building virtues, having the guts to take control of your life, Adam's confrontation with the Dean when trying to get into law school, carpe diem, making friends and the impact of death on our perspectives. Some great stories are shared as we muse on life and his grandfather's saying "don't sweat the small sh*t, and it's all small sh*t".
