Grit Meets Growth began with a conversation, or really, a series of conversations. Working together on a handful of business projects, Chris Cathers and John Gamades shifted from talking about work to talking about mindset, grit, entrepreneurship, goals, and resilience. At one point, Chris made the comment, “These are really solid conversations. I bet a lot of people would get value from hearing this.”

A month later, we launched Episode 1 of the Grit Meets Growth podcast. What has followed is a series of conversations about growing personally, professionally, and physically. We’ve shared personal wins, personal challenges, personal goals, and some of the strategies we’re using to create success. We’ve also used these conversations to challenge each other and our listeners, and hold our Grit Meets Growth community accountable to reaching their full potential.

We all know there’s more out there for us. As a brand and a community, we’re committed to helping each other get after it.
