John Sapiente is a seasoned entrepreneur, brand builder, and mission-driven leader. After taking over his family’s manufacturing business during a crisis, he learned to thrive through adversity, build systems, and lead with perseverance. Today, he channels that mindset into Volition America a patriotic lifestyle brand where he champions the power of choice, hard work, and purpose-driven business.

Today on the show we discuss: how adversity can become the catalyst that shapes your character, why passion actually follows competence instead of leading it, the dangers of chasing instant gratification instead of long-term skill, the power of volition and choosing the life you want, what it really takes to build a mission-driven brand from scratch, and how to balance family, work, and purpose without losing yourself and much more.
