#147 - The Fieldswell Podcast with Lauren Fields. In this episode of The Fieldswell Podcast, host Lauren Fields talks with Adam Metwally. In this episode of The Fieldswell Podcast, Lauren Fields sits down with entrepreneur, investor, podcast host, and creator Adam Metwally to explore what it truly means to perform at a high level without sacrificing your well-being. From leaving Australia to build a new life in New York City to launching businesses, investing, and rebranding his podcast, Adam shares the mindset shifts that have fueled his growth and success. Together, they discuss the power of intuition, the importance of making courageous decisions, and why many people stay stuck waiting for certainty before pursuing what they really want. Adam introduces his philosophy of "polite persistence"—the idea that consistent action, self-forgiveness, and a willingness to keep showing up can often outperform raw talent over time. The conversation also dives into sustainable high performance, nervous system regulation, identity design, AI as a tool for growth, and how to create a vision for the person you're becoming rather than focusing solely on who you are today. In this episode: * Why following your intuition can change the trajectory of your life * How "polite persistence" creates long-term success * The difference between sprinting and sustaining performance * How elite performers manage energy rather than just time * Why most decisions are "two-way doors" and shouldn't be overanalyzed * How to design and grow into your future identity * Practical ways to use AI to solve problems and accelerate growth * The importance of self-forgiveness while pursuing ambitious goals You don't have to be the most talented person in the room to create an extraordinary life. Success often comes from consistently showing up, making decisions, trusting your intuition, and becoming a little bit closer each day to the person you aspire to be.

BEYOND BIOHACKING: RETURNING TO AUSTIN AND REFLECTING ON HUMAN POTENTIAL #146 - In this solo episode of The Fieldswell Podcast, Lauren Fields shares a heartfelt reflection on returning to Austin, Texas—three years after leaving behind a relationship she thought would define her future. What once felt like heartbreak became the catalyst for stepping fully into her purpose as a founder, coach, TEDx speaker, podcast host, and creator. Fresh from attending Dave Asprey’s Biohacking Conference, Lauren explores a surprising realization: while biohacking tools and longevity strategies are powerful, the most important conversations happening on stage centered around purpose, meaning, fulfillment, and our connection to ourselves. Lauren reflects on the power of reinvention, the importance of prioritizing well-being, and why feeling well may be the greatest investment we can make. She also shares insights from Harvard happiness expert Arthur Brooks on presence, technology, and reclaiming our attention in an increasingly distracted world. ✨ In this episode, you'll learn: * How heartbreak can become a catalyst for personal transformation * Why purpose and meaning matter more than optimization alone * Lessons from Dave Asprey’s Biohacking Conference * The connection between wellness, fulfillment, and human potential * How technology may be disconnecting us from happiness * Simple practices to cultivate more presence and well-being * Why becoming addicted to feeling well can change your life If you've ever felt stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about your next chapter, this episode is an invitation to trust yourself, invest in your well-being, and remember that your greatest transformation may be waiting on the other side of a difficult moment. KEY TAKEAWAY Sometimes the greatest breakthroughs don't come from doing more—they come from reconnecting with yourself. Prioritize your well-being, trust your vision, and remember: the life you're meant to live may be waiting on the other side of the challenge you're facing today.
