Author, Gold Star Sister, and President of a National Veteran Service Organization Launches Podcast Focused on Inspiring Stories of Resilience
There are few guarantees in life, but facing adversity is one of them. In a new podcast titled The Resilient Life hosted by Ryan Manion, leaders from various walks of life will discuss how personal and professional struggles have shaped who they are as people and how they learned to respond in the face of trials moving forward.
DOYLESTOWN, Pa., Aug. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Resilience, according to Manion, is all about "struggling well." Conversations will focus on how the principle of struggling well relates to current events, the Travis Manion Foundation mission of empowering veterans and families of fallen heroes to serve, as well as personal trials guests have overcome. With all guests, Ryan's goal will be to focus on sharing lessons that listeners can use to face adversity more effectively, while turning challenges into opportunities for growth.
The show will feature an array of guests, and the inaugural episode will launch on Tuesday, August 4th, with Ryan interviewing Chairman of the Board and CEO of Johnson & Johnson, Alex Gorsky.
"In the years since the loss of my brother Travis, I've learned that my life need not be defined by a tragic event, but it can be inspired by it," said Ryan Manion. "My hope is that listeners will join us on this journey with some amazing guests, as we explore how to struggle well through life's inevitable challenges."
The Resilient Life Podcast will be available on all major podcast streaming platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify, Radio.com, and more, as well as a video version that will be available on YouTube.

About Travis Manion Foundation
Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) unites communities to strengthen America's national character by empowering veterans and families of fallen heroes to develop and lead future generations. In 2007, 1st Lt. Travis Manion (USMC) was killed in Iraq while saving his wounded teammates. Today, Travis' legacy lives on in the words he spoke before leaving for his final deployment, "If Not Me, Then Who..." Guided by this mantra, veterans continue their service, develop strong relationships with their communities, and thrive in their post-military lives by serving as character role models to youth. As a result, communities prosper and the character of our nation's heroes lives on in the next generation.
The story of 1st Lt. Travis Manion and his Naval Academy brother Lt. (SEAL) Brendan Looney have been publicized in the book Brothers Forever, and additional information about the Foundation can be found at http://www.travismanion.org.
