Brian Crombie Radio Hour - Epi 1652 - Finding Grace: Rocco Rossi on Healing, Pilgrimage & the Camino de Santiago

On this episode of The Brian Crombie Hour, host Brian Crombie is joined by author, entrepreneur, advisor, and former CEO of the Ontario Chamber of Commerce Rocco Rossi to discuss his new novel Finding Grace, released June 15. The conversation explores Rossi’s extraordinary journey along the Camino de Santiago, which he has completed in 23 variations over more than 14,000 kilometres — the equivalent of 332 marathons. But beyond the physical feat, the discussion focuses on the deeper meaning behind the pilgrimage. Rossi and Crombie discuss themes of grief, healing, authenticity, fatherhood, spirituality, and the importance of silence and reflection in a modern world filled with distraction. Rossi also shares why he chose fiction over memoir to tell this story of transformation and human connection. The episode highlights the tradition of walking the Camino on behalf of others and how carrying the hopes and struggles of others can become part of one’s own healing journey.
