In this episode, Adam sits down with Marcel Robert, a chef and entrepreneur whose story is shaped by cultural diversity, curiosity, and the courage to follow his passion. Growing up in Port Chester with a Dutch-Surinamese father and a multi-ethnic mother, Marcel was immersed in different perspectives from an early age. His father’s example as an immigrant who built a business from the ground up instilled in him the value of hard work and accountability.

Marcel shares how his academic path shifted from engineering to political science to anthropology, before he found his true calling in the kitchen. Cooking, he explains, wasn’t just a skill — it was the one place that gave him energy, focus, and joy. That passion ultimately led to the creation of Belle Hill Dining, his private dining company, launched in the wake of COVID. Marcel reflects on the challenges of starting a business, learning patience when traction was slow, and building consistency in both craft and mindset.

This conversation explores themes of cultural identity, resilience, and the importance of trusting your instincts when charting a new path. Marcel’s journey reminds us that purpose often emerges when we combine our roots, passions, and persistence.

In this episode of The Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Maria Camila Medina—a Colombian-born entrepreneur, beauty queen, and the founder of MCM Marketing Firm. Her journey is one of resilience, reinvention, and unwavering faith.

Camila moved to the U.S. at age 12, navigating culture shock, language barriers, and bullying while holding on to the deep family roots that shaped her. After earning a marketing degree and spending over a decade in car sales, she faced a devastating season of labor abuse that led to depression and financial struggle.

In 2023, alongside her husband, she launched MCM Marketing, a bilingual digital agency helping brands grow through social media, SEO, and smart strategy. At the same time, she’s built a platform that reflects her multidimensional story: crowned Reina Latina, author, advocate, and now soon-to-be mother.

This conversation explores how faith, humility, and courage can turn even the darkest seasons into fuel for growth. From infertility struggles to cyberbullying, from corporate burnout to entrepreneurial rebirth—Camila’s story is proof that purpose is found in persistence and perspective.

🎙️ In this episode, we explore:

• Growing up in Colombia and the challenges of immigrating to the U.S. at age 12

• Facing bullying, identity struggles, and therapy as a path to strength

• Overcoming labor abuse in the car industry and finding resilience in hardship

• The birth of MCM Marketing and her vision to empower brands bilingually

• Competing and winning Reina Latina amidst personal challenges

• Infertility, pregnancy, and what motherhood means to her journey of purpose

• Why faith, humility, and mentorship have been cornerstones of her growth

This episode is a reminder that even when life breaks you down, purpose can rebuild you stronger.

In this episode of The Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Dan Singer—a team performance coach, Marine Corps Gunnery Sergeant, and passionate advocate for leadership rooted in clarity, culture, and purpose.

Dan helps leadership teams implement the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) to get clear, aligned, and focused. Through vision work, operational structure, and team health, he equips organizations to become more functional, more cohesive, and more impactful. But his insights don’t come from theory alone—they’re grounded in lived experience.

Dan spent years in sales, business development, and leadership, most notably helping scale a company from $14M to $20M before it was acquired by private equity—all while running on EOS. At the same time, he’s built a parallel life of service, as a Marine Corps Reservist, infantry Marine, and currently a Gunnery Sergeant and Operations Instructor with the Marine Corps Tactics and Operations Group.

This conversation is about what it really means to lead—with discipline, vulnerability, and purpose. Dan shares how the Marine Corps shaped his perspective on teamwork, why culture is everything, and how organizations can move past surface-level fixes to tackle what’s really holding them back.

🎙️ In this episode, we explore:

• The Marine Corps lessons that translate directly into business leadership

• Why removing the “individual” mindset is crucial to building cohesive teams

• The three qualities Dan looks for in clients before working with them

• Practical insights on building clarity, alignment, and culture in any organization

• What it means to truly live with purpose, beyond titles and labels

This episode is a powerful reminder that leadership isn’t about imposing control—it’s about creating alignment, building trust, and serving something greater than yourself.
