What if resilience isn’t something you’re born with, but something you intentionally build?


In this episode, Ben, Paige, and Adrian explore resilience through the books that shaped their thinking—unpacking how optimism, identity, habits, and strong systems form the backbone of a life (and business) that can weather anything. Drawing from books like "Learned Optimism" by Martin Seligman, "The Coddling of the American Mind" by Jonathan Haidt and Greg Lukianoff, "Anti-Fragile" by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, "Atomic Habits" by James Clear, and "Traction" by Gino Wickman, they discuss how the ideas you engage with can transform the way you respond to challenge and change and contribute to understanding resilience in mindset, behavior, and systems.
