In this episode of The Resilient Author Podcast, Kary sits down with Juan Battle, author of How I Turned My Pain into Purpose and founder of the faith-based movement Believe By Battle.
Juan’s journey began in New Jersey, where he endured years of pain, hardship, and even incarceration. But instead of letting those experiences define him, Juan chose transformation. After moving to Florida, he found the space to heal, reconnect with his faith, and discover his purpose. Out of that transformation, he built Believe By Battle, a brand and movement that spreads hope through books, clothing, and motivational tools.
During our conversation, Juan opens up about:
- The story behind his book How I Turned My Pain into Purpose
- How resilience is not about avoiding pain, but using it as fuel for growth
- The courage it takes to share your story publicly
- The role of faith in healing and transformation
- How Believe By Battle is making a real-world impact, including offering a hotline for those who simply need someone to listen
This episode is a reminder that your story has power. Juan’s honesty, resilience, and faith shine through, offering inspiration and encouragement for anyone navigating challenges of their own.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
