Resilience Amidst Business Challenges

“It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up.” - Babe Ruth 

Sounds simple enough right, just don’t quit. Many of the greatest of all time (GOATs) in their respective sport or career are known to chant this famous mantra. 

However, when this principle is applied in your life, in all areas of your life, it can have massive impact and ripple into everything that you do. 

Today’s guest on Strong By Design is Jason Meland, a fitness and media coach, who teaches and inspires others to use their story and voice for impact. If creating content on social media and growing a business is of interest to you then this episode is a must listen. Jason teaches: Be seen. Be heard. Be impactful. 

Host Mike Westerdal and Jason talk about Jason’s passion for fitness, his early years as a firefighter/EMT, his American Ninja Warrior skills and how he’s changing lives today. 

"Not taking ‘no’ for an answer on something you’re passionate about… Rules are meant to be re-written sometimes.” - Jason Meland
