Jamin: I really appreciate it. Let's start with our kind of contextual question. Tell us a little bit about your parents and how they informed your current career.
[00:01:08]
Adam: My parents, who are – Thankfully, I still have my mom. She's 88. I lost my father two years ago. If I would summarize my parents, it would be unconditional support. My parents were in real estate and property management in Ottawa, Canada for many years. Classic small-city, small-Jewish-community parents, bringing you up in the diaspora of the world, trying to keep onto your Jewish culture, which interestingly enough, being the baby in my family, I got to kind of pursue my own path after my sister and brother went down theirs. I think what really demonstrates my parents and who they are as sort of business people and entrepreneurs was that when my brother at 19 decided he wanted to go and become a jazz drummer – And for Jewish parents, you're not gonna be a lawyer or a doctor or go to university for that. And he went to the U.S. to Berklee College of Music and became a jazz drummer. He's a teacher now. And they just supported him with his passion. So when I came out of school, I fumbled after I did my MBA. And it was 1992. It was a recession. But I had this passion called multimedia at the time. And they unconditionally supported my journey. My parents still don't know what I do to this day. They know I deal with something in technology, but they've always been very proud of me and have supported everything I've done. And it's been a foundation that has gotten me through some incredible difficult times. But also it's really inspired me to, when I do things well, it keeps a humility and a desire to make sure I'm taking care of those around me.
