How do you navigate the difficult things in life and keep going? Better yet, how do you navigate the tough stuff, take a few gut punches, deal with setbacks, and come back even better? That takes a radical form of resilience and that's what we discuss in this episode with clinical psychologist, Dr. Andy Garrett.

Guest Bio

Dr. Andy is the world's leading authority on Radical Resilience. He's a clinical psychologist with over two decades of experience working with executive clients at his Newport Beach practice.  In addition to growing a thriving in-person clinical practice, Dr. Andy is a prolific course creator, author, and keynote speaker teaching corporate radical resilience to top companies around the country.

Using contemporary research and psychological best practices Dr. Andy has created a framework to replicate the Radical Resilience he directly learned from his grandfather, Carl Karcher, founder of Carl's Jr. This framework helps individuals and corporate teams cultivate a culture of Radical Resilience to thrive during seasons of adversity, and flourish regardless of the environmental context. With decades of clinical research, private practice, and business consulting under his belt, Dr. Andy is guiding companies in Radical Resilience - providing organizations with an antidote to corporate fragility - thereby enabling them to grow and thrive through today's uncertain economic times.
