This episode features a real-time conversation about entrepreneurship and overcoming doubt with Lev Galstyan while on the move.

What’s going on big dawgs — this one’s a little different. Recorded on the fly in Lev’s Jeep en route to pick up a Ferrari for content around the launch of Open Garage , this episode turns into a real-time conversation about entrepreneurship, momentum, and why anxiety and doubt hate a moving target. I’m joined by Levon Galstyan — former Amazon product manager turned builder — who’s currently launching Patch , a pediatric therapy marketplace, and Open Garage , a platform connecting car enthusiasts through shared access and real-world experiences. We dive into: Why taking action kills overthinking Building from first principles instead of following the default path The early-stage grind of launching something real Using momentum as your biggest advantage This is raw, unplanned, and exactly what Adam’s +1 is about — conversations in motion, literally.
