Description

There are people in this world with extraordinary stories, people who've been forged by challenge, transition, and adversity, and most of us will never get the chance to hear them speak honestly about it. Forging Resilience closes that gap.

Host Aaron Hill draws on a deep network of military leaders, elite athletes, entrepreneurs, and coaches to have the conversations that don't happen in boardrooms or on stages. Driven by curiosity and presence, Aaron doesn't follow a script or stick to a format, he follows the story. What comes out is something rare: real, unfiltered insight from people who've been through the fire and come out the other side.

Built for high performers, leaders, founders, and anyone facing a moment that demands more of them,  this is the show for people who don't fit the mould, hosted by someone who doesn't either.
