Ep # 43 Jason Cercone: His life was planned, 100K+ salary, moving on up… and then without warning…FIRED!
Manage episode 311253285 series 3098779
We go through life hoping things go as smoothly as possible. Every attempt, every encounter, every experience...we want the best results no matter what.
The truth is this: life simply doesn't work that way. The universe has a sly way of throwing curveballs at us and just when we think we've got it figured out, they throw in a slider and a sinking fastball. And when this happens, we're left with a critical decision: adapt...or fade away.
While we may seek the best outcome, it's the bitter defeats that help us savor the sweet taste of victory just a little bit more. It's the failures that give us the roadmap to success. It's the downfalls and the kicks to the teeth that make us resilient and give us the confidence to get off the mat and get back in the battle!
On today's episode of Be Real, I welcome Jason Cercone for a candid conversation about perseverance, overcoming adversity, and navigating through life with a positive mindset. Jason is a podcaster and, through his company, Cercone Consulting, he works with brands and professionals on all things podcast communications and production.
Years ago, Jason was working a job he enjoyed and making good money while, at the same time, building a business of his own on the side that he hoped would one day sustain him. As you'll learn, Jason had designed his exit from his company and had all intentions to do things the right way. Until, one morning, his company revealed they had other plans.
Throughout this episode, you'll discover the power of thinking positively even when life deals you a bad hand, why it's important to deal with losses so you can appreciate gains, what happens when grit and work ethic are instilled at a young age, how small actions done consistently every day lead to big results (for better or for worse), why sports not keeping score are setting kids up for disaster, and a pivotal moment in Jason's life where everything about work ethic snapped into focus.
