Marathon State of Mind

9/11 survivor Ron DiFrancesco on resilience, perspective and post-traumatic growth


Listen Later

Do you remember where you were on September 11, 2001? For our guest, Ron DiFrancesco, it was just another day in the office ... until it wasn't. Ron's office was on the 84th floor of the World Trade Centre - the second tower that was struck by a terrorist-hijacked plane. From here, Ron witnessed the world changed right before his eyes. In a conversation that breathes fresh perspective into the very meaning of life, Ron courageously shares his experience and reveals unforgettable insights into the resilience of the human spirit and why there is always cause for hope. 

Ron has since developed a resiliency framework, been featured in Time magazine and become a keynote speaker at global positive psychology conferences and large corporations. 

*A word of caution: Whilst this is an episode about hope and perspective, the traumatic nature of the events described may be distressing or triggering for some listeners. Discretion is advised, especially for younger audiences.
