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. Fairfax-Episode-408.png?ssl=1"> 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.

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.
