Aerospace Engineer to Culture Consultant

On the latest episode of SPARKED, I sat down with Adam Kolozetti, founder of Enta Solutions, whose journey from aerospace engineering to cultivating creative company cultures is nothing short of inspiring. 

Adam’s story is a vivid reminder that we all have a unique Sparketype®—a blueprint for work that makes us come alive. And once we tap into it, work stops being a chore and starts becoming one of life’s greatest adventures. Here are some of the takeaways from that conversation~

Embrace the Possibility of Change  

Adam’s transition wasn’t a sudden leap—it was a gradual awakening. For years, he followed the traditional path of engineering, a field his parents encouraged and society expected. Yet deep down, he carried that childlike wonder inspired by watching Star Trek, dreaming of outer space and adventure. 

His journey teaches us that it’s okay to step off the well-worn path and question what work really means to you. When you dare to ask “What if?” you open up a realm of possibilities where your passion and purpose intersect. Imagine if you could design a career that fuels your curiosity every day—what could that look like?

Discover Your Unique Sparketype 

In my experience, clarity comes when we truly understand ourselves. Adam discovered that his Primary Sparketype is the Maker—someone driven to create and manifest ideas—complemented by a natural Maven quality of learning and sharing insights. 

Knowing your Sparketype can be a game changer. It helps you align your work with your natural strengths, making each task feel less like an obligation and more like an opportunity to shine.

Cultivate a Culture of Creativity and Connection 

One of the standout insights from our conversation was the importance of building an environment where creativity isn’t stifled by processes. Adam shared how, in the face of routine and layoffs, he spearheaded initiatives like lunch-and-learns and even creative escape room activities to re-energize his team. 

His approach underscores that even as businesses scale and processes tighten, there’s always room to nurture the human element—connection, enthusiasm, and the willingness to play. When you invest in creating a vibrant culture, you empower your team to bring their full selves to work, which can lead to breakthrough innovation and sustained success.

Transform Pressure into Opportunity  

Every entrepreneur faces that dark night of the soul—the moment when self-doubt creeps in and every decision feels weighty. Adam’s candid reflections on the pressures of leadership resonate deeply. He reminded me that feeling that pain isn’t a sign of failure; it’s a signal that you’re growing. 

Instead of letting pressure overwhelm you, use it as a catalyst for self-reflection and innovation. Ask yourself, “How can I turn this challenge into an opportunity?” In doing so, you not only advance your own personal journey but also set a powerful example for your team.

Reimagining your career isn’t about chasing fleeting trends—it’s about reconnecting with your inner spark and designing a life filled with purpose, passion, and joy. Adam’s journey from technical rigor to creative empowerment shows us that when you embrace change, discover your Sparketype, cultivate a culture of creativity, and transform pressure into opportunity, work becomes a fulfilling extension of who you are.
