When it comes to extending your healthspan, most people focus on the physical pillars—exercise, nutrition, sleep. But there’s one mental trait that quietly drives it all: grit.

In this episode, Aaron Shaw is joined by Licensed Clinical Social Worker Daniel Gospodarek, founder of Revitalize Mental Health. Daniel shares his extraordinary story of surviving a traumatic brain injury at age 17 and how that experience shaped his work with men, first responders, and veterans today.

Together, they explore how grit helps us face adversity, why reflection builds resilience, and how endurance—not intensity—is the key to lasting transformation.

🎙️ You’ll Learn:

• How to redefine grit beyond “toughness”
• The role of adversity in personal growth
• Why consistency and small wins matter most
• How trauma-informed therapy fosters long-term healing
• One mindset shift you can make today to build your own grit

🛠️ Bonus: Daniel shares a powerful take-home insight you can apply right now to strengthen your mental and emotional durability.
