Adam Plant has lived two lives most people only see from a distance: one spent providing security for major celebrities and athletes, and another spent building a cheesecake business from the ground up. When Adam Plant joined Sean Kelly on the Digital Social Hour, he brought stories from both worlds, including an account of a tense police encounter in London while working alongside Snoop Dogg.
The conversation moves easily between high-pressure moments on the job and the grind of getting a food business off the ground, with Plant treating both as chapters in the same larger story about discipline and opportunity.
