What does home mean to you? On Make Yourself at Home, host Kristin Twiford takes you into the homes of people you admire, to give you a window into who they really are. You’ll hear what drives them, what gives them a sense of purpose, how they unwind, and how they choose to spend their time meaningfully — but perhaps more importantly — their favorite room in the house, their guilty pleasures, and their most cherished possessions. Along the way, we hope to inspire you to live better, whatever that means to you. Make Yourself at Home is produced by Nines, the household management app that helps you live with ease.

Leaving Hollywood, Redefining Success & Finding Home on a Farm: How Adrian Grenier Transformed His Life with the Help of His Soulmate

November 08, 2022 • Nines • Season 1 • Episode 7

Adrian Grenier had "made it." After his leading role in HBO's Entourage and the success of films like The Devil Wears Prada and Drive Me Crazy, he'd found success, fame, money. And yet, it wasn't enough. He was always striving for more — until his then-girlfriend Jordan Roemmele ended their relationship and set off a chain reaction that changed his life completely.

Adrian left Hollywood in 2020, and today, he spends his time farming — living at what he calls, “earth speed.” He’s created Earth Speed Media, a hub for education and inspiration around land stewardship, and DuContra Ventures, which makes impact investments in companies that aim to improve the human condition and benefit the planet. He’s even the Chief Earth Advocate for the space tourism company World View. But at the heart of all of this work is Adrian's newfound sense of home.

For this conversation, we’re at Kintsugi Ranch — Adrian's farm in Bastrop, Texas — talking about why he feels so much more at home here than in Hollywood, how his views on money and success have changed, why he feels his now-wife Jordan is his soulmate, sent to shake up his life. Make Yourself at Home with Adrian Grenier.
