  • Join Adam Kawalec as he explores the topic of war in the latest episode of "Inside The Comfort Zone." Discover the principles of just war, the devastating impact of modern conflicts on civilians, and the alternatives to violence. Explore the notion of being right versus finding peaceful resolutions and uncover the importance of listening in times of conflict. This thought-provoking episode challenges our perspectives on war and offers insights into nonviolent action and social change. Don't miss this captivating discussion on the true costs of war and the pursuit of peace.

    "For there to be a conflict, there must be at least two sides, two versions of what is right and wrong, and both equally convinced of their righteousness."

    — Adam Kawalec

    00:02:34 Modern wars cause harm, civilian casualties unacceptable. Overspending on the military. Training desensitises soldiers. War propaganda secures support. Nonviolence is the alternative for social change.

    00:05:12 Peace is not just the absence of fighting. Ask yourself, do you want someone to do something because they want to, or because you told them to? This applies on a global level too.

    00:09:18 Are leaders truly listening? Conflict victims matter.

    00:10:48 Nonviolent action vital for peace and democracy.

    00:14:13 Thank you for brave listening.

  • Welcome back to Inside The Comfort Zone With Adam Kawalec. In today's raw and honest episode, we dive deep into the topic of boundaries. Join me, your host Adam Kawalec, as we explore the importance of defining and respecting our own boundaries while taking responsibility for them.

    We'll discuss how putting the onus of boundary enforcement on others can lead to confusion and complications in our relationships. I'll emphasize that it is our right to set our own boundaries and, more importantly, our responsibility to enforce the consequences should those boundaries be violated.

    Throughout the episode, we'll explore the areas in our lives where we compromise at the expense of our goals and dreams. We'll imagine a life without the ability to pursue what we truly desire, and reflect on what we would miss, what would feel exciting, and what would feel sad.

    Throughout this episode, we'll address common misunderstandings about boundaries and the importance of establishing them for our own well-being and empowerment. We'll debunk the myth that boundaries automatically guarantee respect, and instead, focus on how boundaries should primarily guide our own actions and choices.

    So, get ready to gain a fresh perspective on boundaries and learn how they can help us thrive in our relationships and achieve personal growth. Join me for this captivating conversation of The Power of Boundaries: Setting Limits and Taking Ownership.

  • Welcome back to another episode of Inside The Comfort Zone With Adam Kawalec! It happens to be that I released the previous episode talking about vacations and sabbaticals, and so I thought that I wanted to continue pulling on that thread some more. Today we're diving into the post-vacation period. We all know that feeling of euphoria and relaxation that comes with taking time off, but what happens when that vacation bliss starts to fade away?

    In this episode, we'll explore the challenges that come with transitioning back to everyday life after a vacation. From the stress of expectations to the post-trip blues, we'll discuss why vacations don't always provide the significant boost in well-being we hope for. But fear not, because we'll also offer practical tips and strategies for maximizing relaxation and extending the benefits of your vacation. So sit back, relax, and join me as we navigate the “fading-out” period after the much-needed time off.

    Let's get started!

    "Planning for, and blocking out some post-vacation fun time is a great way to help prolong the benefits of vacation."

    — Adam Kawalec

We explore the role of consuming positive content, eliminating negativity from our lives, and being intentional about what we feed our minds. Our conversation highlights the importance of knowing oneself and embracing uniqueness as key aspects of confidence-building. We also discuss how confidence allows individuals to stay true to themselves, fight for their beliefs, and create businesses aligned with their values.

  • On this episode of Inside The Comfort Zone With Adam Kawalec, we dive into the topic of asking for help. We explore the connection between self-judgment and the judgment we perceive from others, highlighting the importance of avoiding judgment and allowing ourselves and others the freedom to choose whether to help or not.

We tackle the fear of asking for help and argue that it is actually a strength, as it takes courage to admit limitations and seek assistance. Adam invites listeners to show their interest in an upcoming online workshop on motivation and growth inside the comfort zone.

  • On this episode of Inside The Comfort Zone With Adam Kawalec, our host dives deep into the concept of redefining work and finding a more humane approach to business. Joined by special guest Sarah Santacroce, creator of the humane business revolution, they explore the idea that what one does is not the same as who they are. Both Adam and Sarah highlight the choice to participate in the game of life and the growth and contribution it can bring. Sarah shares her personal journey of redefining business and marketing to prioritize empathy and kindness. She discusses her books, "Marketing Like We're Human" and "Selling Like We're Human," which promote a more humane approach to the industry. The episode concludes with a thought-provoking discussion on redefining "enough" and finding ways to make a living without sacrificing well-being. Join Adam and Sarah as they challenge traditional notions of work and explore the possibilities of a more humane and fulfilling approach to business.



    "I think we need to have this reflection on the definition of success, how do you define you're enough so that you can not just make a living but make a life as well."


    — Sarah Santacroce



    About Sarah Santacroce:


    Sarah Santacroce is an entrepreneur and business revolutionist who has become a leading voice in the realm of humane marketing. Two years ago, she realized that there was a need for marketing techniques that prioritized the human element in business, even though the concept wasn't widely recognized at the time. Intrigued by the idea, Sarah wrote the book "Marketing Like We're Human" and followed it up with "Selling Like We're Human." And lately Sarah's been playing around with a new idea that she calls "Doing Business Like We're Human", hinting at a future book on that topic. Her workshops now revolve around this humane approach to various aspects of business, and she has received a positive response from participants who appreciate the relevance of this approach, especially in the age of increasing artificial intelligence. Sarah's journey and her dedication to the concept of humane marketing has solidified her position as a thought leader in the field.
