In this episode, Jay is interviewed by Scott Sylvan Bell, a sales trainer, persuasion expert, and President at Aries711, LLC. As a body language and non-verbal communication expert, Scott is fascinated by Jay’s perspective on business growth, entrepreneurship, high-level mindset, and resiliency.

Jay shares his mindset around resiliency, what he thinks about making the most (or least) out of life, and how to always find opportunities in adversity. You’ll learn the role of resilience in business and life success and the connection between your level of resilience and experience.
