True resilience comes from a body and mind carved out of hard work, challenge, and failure. Joe reveals the lessons he learned from his childhood in Queens, NY to his career as a champion Ironman, to his role as a warrior-style CEO and father of four, and how he's weathered every single storm with the gift of true resilience. He defines what so many of us struggle to understand—the difference between what is difficult and what is desperate. We wrongly think that when we struggle, we are vulnerable. But we need difficult situations to grow, become strong, and ultimately, survive and thrive. Not giving ourselves the ongoing gift of challenge, failure, and hard work is to deprive ourselves of one of the most satisfying and rewarding parts of the human experience: the strength to stand back up again after we fall.
