Adam Dorsay: Unleash the Power of 4 Types of Connection

January 20, 2025 • Lisa Tilstra • Episode 206

My guest today is Dr. Adam Dorsay.

Adam is a licensed psychologist and a certified executive coach working in private practice. He specializes in assisting high-achieving professionals—including tech executives, entrepreneurs, and professional athletes—with relationship issues, stress reduction, easing anxiety, and attaining more happiness in their lives.

Adam delivers lively and well-received keynotes and trainings at institutions like Microsoft, LinkedIn, and the California Psychological Association. He is also the host of the award-winning psychology podcast SuperPsyched, which has featured interviews with everyone from NBA coaches to rock stars to world-famous comedians to bestselling authors and many more.

He lives and works in San Jose, California, and is happily married with two children and an Australian Labradoodle named Raffi.

Adam is the author of the book, SuperPsyched: Unleash the Power of 4 Types of Connection and Live the Life You Want.

In our conversation today, Adam shares his wisdom on what connection is, how we as humans are wired up for connection and love, and why, despite wanting connection so desperately, often feel disconnection and alone, perhaps even unloved.

I loved this conversation with Adam and wished we had had about 5 hours to continue talking and learning from him. I’m excited to share this with you and hope you’ll explore Adam’s podcast, book, TEDx talks, and other work as well. There are links in the show notes for all of that.

Adam, thank you SO much for this great connection. Your work in the world is of incredible importance and I’m honored to be a tiny piece in helping it spread! Thank you for sharing your stories, your struggles, your reflections and your wisdom. Your transparency and wise counsel are a beautiful combination and gift to others!
