I have so much respect for today’s guest. Most people, especially at age 29, would have crumbled under the weight of losing control of their family’s one-hundred-fifty-year-old company.

Not Warwick Fairfax. Now, that’s not to say what he went through wasn’t incredibly difficult. It certainly was.

But Warwick is not your average guy. Now 30+ years removed from the crucible that situation was for him, he’s sharing what he learned about this process with the rest of us.

Before you think, “What do I possibly have in common with a man who once ran a $700MM company?”, let me ask you: Have you ever experienced an event that devastated you? I know I have. Several in fact.

What matters for those of us who find ourselves in that situation is how we choose to respond. Warwick’s new book, Crucible Leadership: Embrace Your Trials to Lead a Life of Significance will show you the way.

I hope you’ll click the play button below to learn more about Warwick and his work. For a summary, just keep scrolling.
