Description

Welcome to the forge! Ron explores the world of adversity and doing hard things. In a world that has gone soft, here in the forge, we discuss the hard. Mettle is that uncanny ability to face a demanding situation in a spirited and resilient way and remain calm in the storm. Each week, he interviews elite athletes, entrepreneurs, business leaders, researchers and academics that have been through the fire and came out the other side, stronger and better for the experience. Join him as he works to unlock the secrets of how to embrace adversity, cultivate savoring and live our best lives!
