Welcome to another episode of the VinnyRoc Podcast. In this episode, I sit down with Denny Giamazzo, host of the Be The Standard Podcast, leadership coach, speaker, and former National Guard Infantryman. Denny’s story is one of resilience, growth, and overcoming adversity.
Growing up in foster care after losing his mother to AIDS at the age of 10 and never knowing his father, Denny faced a tough road early in life. Despite his challenges, he served in the military, deployed to Afghanistan, and later built a successful career in the tech industry. Now, he is on a mission to inspire others through his podcast, speaking engagements, and leadership coaching.
We dive into:
- Denny’s upbringing and the challenges he faced growing up without parents
- His military journey and deployment to Afghanistan
- Transitioning out of the military and finding success in the corporate world
- The creation of Be The Standard and what it means to live with purpose
- Overcoming self-doubt and taking action in life
- How men can step up, set goals, and hold themselves accountable
Denny’s insights on leadership, personal growth, and resilience are truly inspiring. If you’re looking for motivation to push through challenges, redefine your purpose, or just hear a powerful story, this episode is for you.
