Channel: Feel Good Fatherhood
Date: 2023-06-05

Adam Hill is a firm believer in the power of a positive mindset. He witnessed this firsthand at a race where the first place finisher was ecstatic, the second was angry, and the third was even happier than the first.

Adam applies this philosophy to his own life, pushing himself to achieve great things and inspiring others to do the same.

Standout Quotes:
"I think the best thing and one of the things that I've learned in sobriety is that shame is a useless emotion. Like feeling shame is just not a purposeful emotion for us. And if we're feeling that as parents, it's like, oh man, I should have said this differently because that wouldn't have led to this. Well, yeah, but that doesn't, it's really how we're showing up right now."— Adam Hill [00:33:20]
