What if resilience isn’t something you’re born with—but something you can train?

In this solo episode of The On Purpose Podcast, Jerrod Hardy challenges the idea that resilience is a personality trait. Instead, he explains why resilience is a skill that can be developed through awareness, emotional regulation, and recovery.

Jerrod explores how leaders, parents, coaches, and individuals can build resilience before adversity strikes—and why simply “toughing it out” isn’t enough.

Drawing from leadership, MMA, parenting, and his 100-mile ultramarathon experience, Jerrod shares practical lessons on handling failure, staying grounded under pressure, and modeling resilience for the people around you.

You don't have to be born resilient. You can train it.
