Summary:
In this episode, I'm going to explore the concept of resiliency, a trait I believe is crucial for success in life. I share some inspiring stories of folks who have demonstrated remarkable resilience, such as boxer Joe Fraser, who developed a powerful left hook after his father's tragic accident, and football player John David Crow, who faced a difficult decision but chose to persevere. In this episode I also emphasize that resilience is not about living life on the edge, but about going the extra mile when necessary. Develop resilience by pushing yourself a little bit more than you think you can, and I assure you that the resilience will become your hallmark and trademark for a successful life.
