Welcome to the first episode of Season 2 of our PM Talks monthly series!

This episode Patrick Rhone and I dive into the concept of resilience. We explore what it means to rebound and adapt in the face of adversity, unpacking its nuances and how it differs from grit. Whether you're navigating everyday challenges or overcoming significant life obstacles, resilience plays a critical role in how we show up for ourselves and others.

Resilience isn't just about enduring hardship; it's about how we recover and find stability amidst change. From personal anecdotes to broader philosophical musings, this episode offers insights into building resilience in practical and meaningful ways.

Key Discussion Points

• The difference between resilience and grit, using relatable analogies like football strategy.
• How resilience helps us adapt to unexpected life challenges, big or small.
• Why finding your "why" is crucial for fostering resilience and purpose.
• The interplay between resilience, resourcefulness, and willpower.
• Examples of resilience from Patrick's family, including his daughter's circus challenges.
• The impact of age and experience on understanding and cultivating resilience.
• The importance of letting go to redirect energy and focus on what truly matters.

As we wrap up, we also preview our next episode — which features a topic that connects seamlessly with resilience and purpose. I hope you'll join us for that conversation.
