We Are Adam has been in business for nearly 15 years and over that time we’ve been very fortunate and privileged to have met a diverse range of inspiring founders, business owners, and entrepreneurs. On their journeys, they’ve all been in the trenches, as we have, and experienced both the highs and lows that running a business throws at you.
Adam Asks is a podcast series designed to share their valuable lessons and if like us, you want to know what’s around the corner in a world of uncertainty, we’re here to ask them the questions and share their insight.
#AdamAsks... Does Building an Aspirational Business Come With a Personal Sacrifice?
Mark Boler is the founder and CEO of The Mere Gold Resort and Spa. His father bought The Mere Golf and Country Club in 1984, and Mark took over running the business in 1997. Mark spent years developing plans to transform the business into a luxury resort and secured a £15m investment to make his dreams into a reality. The resort opened in March 2012, with Mark selling the business at the start of 2018.
Mark joins Leon Milns for #AdamAsks' first in-person chat since lockdown began to discuss Mark's journey from working for his father's business to overseeing the transformation of the country club into a full resort, and the effect that the journey had on his mental and physical health which led to him heading to rehab.
In this episode, Mark chats all about:
- What it's really like to take on such a large business transformation project
- How his dedication to his business led to a crisis point
- How Mark uses his personal experiences to help others
- The advice that Mark would give his younger self
- Why he believes that people need to become more mindful about their wellbeing

The Future of Work 2020 was a partnership between We Are Adam and my2be (https://my2be.com) to investigate the remote working revolution which was accelerated when the COVID-19 pandemic arrived on our doorsteps, the long-term effects that we believe will shape our working lives, and what this means for businesses and their people.
Covering all the topics discussed within the report, the key contributors expand on the research they uncovered whilst creating it, as well as insight and opinions from their own personal experiences. Some of the topics touched on include:
· The positive effects mentoring can have on all parts of a business, from diversity to progression

And much more.
