023: Chosen Suffering with Tom Ryan

In this episode, John DiJulius talks with Tom Ryan, NCAA Championship head coach of the Ohio State University wrestling team. As an All-American college wrestler, Tom embraced his fair share of “chosen suffering.” It wasn’t until the sudden death of their five-year-old son, Teague, that Tom and his wife encountered “unchosen suffering” in a way they never wished. In this fire, they found their faith and a process to push through the pain.  Tom’s new book, Chosen Suffering: Becoming Elite In Life And Leadership, is evidence of his passion to transform ordinary lives into elite champions – whether in sports, business, or life in general.  Here are just a few takeaways: About Tom’s new book, Chosen Suffering: Becoming Elite In Life And Leadership The Collision of Two Sufferings: chosen and unchosen suffering The 3 Success Pillars The connection between love and chosen suffering How people can work their way out of being in a slump and change direction What he means by ‘positive infinite crashes any pity party’ How Tom has overcome his personal unchosen suffering How to prepare for an unchosen suffering What Tom will be presenting at the 2020 Customer Service Revolution   Resources mentioned: www.thedijuliusgroup.com Tom’s new book: Chosen Suffering: Becoming Elite In Life And Leadership: https://www.amazon.com/Chosen-Suffering-Becoming-Elite-Leadership/dp/1640859187/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2FRGNGNBM88M6&dchild=1&keywords=chosen+suffering+tom+ryan&qid=1599836834&sprefix=chosen+suffering%2Caps%2C144&sr=8-1 Tom’s website https://www.chosensuffering.com/ 2020 Customer Service Revolution https://customerservicerevolution.com/   *** EPISODE CREDITS: If you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Danny Ozment.
