An inspiring podcast that challenges listeners to embrace hardship and lean into growth for the sake of building character.

Overview: In this raw and direct episode, host Glenn Azar argues that the path of least resistance robs us of meaningful growth. He uses stories of athletes and corporate leaders to illustrate how we find our best selves during difficulty, not ease. Azar encourages listeners to identify areas of avoidance in their lives and intentionally choose hardship, even in small ways like an honest conversation. He argues that great character is built through our willingness to persist despite fear and failure.
