Adam Von Rothfelder is the founder of Strong Coffee Company. He’s an industrious innovator who isn’t afraid to challenge norms and go against the flow. With passion and fearlessness, Adam channels his love of design into quality, industry-disrupting products that speak for themselves.

“Bodybuilding is the best form of working out for 90% of the population."

But I let Adam speak for himself on this episode, and he talks about his fitness evolution and how that led to the creation of Strong Coffee. We get into what effective exercise looks like, and Adam breaks down how to formulate a perfect recipe (spoiler alert: it’s a lot of trial and error). He explains the guiding philosophy behind his ingredient selection and encourages listeners to be curious, because asking the right questions is what leads to great new things.

“That’s what I hope: to have a legacy that truly makes change.”
