In this episode, we explore how resilience, identity, and purpose can help us navigate adversity and create meaningful success. Ryan Beckmann, philanthropist, entrepreneur, and founder of HeroPicks and The Last Save, shares lessons from his journey through addiction, trauma, and recovery. He discusses mental health, faith, leadership, and the power of service and community to turn personal challenges into positive impact.

Anthony Trucks, former NFL athlete, bestselling author, and leadership expert, shares how his experience in foster care, poverty, professional sports, and more than 30 traumatic life events shaped his “Dark Work” philosophy. He explains how confronting difficult internal challenges can help transform identity, build confidence, and improve performance in both life and business.

David Booth, Founder and Chairman of Dimensional Fund Advisors, discusses his journey from helping launch the first index fund to building a global investment firm. Drawing from his new book, Stay Calm: Learn to Embrace Uncertainty in Investing and Life, he shares why successful investing is less about predicting the future and more about understanding markets, staying disciplined, and embracing uncertainty.
