EP 07: The ROI of Fast Decisions w/ Adam Schafer

In Episode 7 of The Elite Trainer Podcast, Kyle sits down with Mind Pump’s Adam Schaefer to unpack a core struggle for most entrepreneurs: how to manage time, make bold decisions, and grow without burning out. Adam reveals how speed of execution separates top performers from overthinkers, and shares his own mistakes from the early days of building Mind Pump. They also break down when to pivot, how to measure ROI, and why true work-life balance doesn’t happen day-to-day—it’s earned over time through intentional seasons of sprinting. If you’re building a training business and want clarity on how to scale, simplify, and succeed, don’t miss this one.If you got value from this episode, make sure to follow or subscribe to The Elite Trainer Podcast so you never miss an episode.
