GRIT with Lara Johnson

from Resilient Mental State · host Kyle Shepard

Lara ”LJ” Johnson is the founder of the Global GRIT System, a published author of the bestselling book “Hunt or be Hunted,” an international keynote speaker, a competitive Hyrox athlete, an executive coach, and a 9x Stevie Award winner to include “Woman of the Year,” “Female Executive of the Year,” and “Female Entrepreneur of the Year.” What she has overcome in her life, however, is even more impressive than what she has achieved. In this conversation, we discuss: * Lara’s incredible story * Grit components and types * Pillars of health * Adversity and trauma * And much more As a gift, Lara offered her Global GRIT Guide for free if you text “GRIT” to 33777. LJ has one of the best personal websites I’ve come across. All of her resources and offerings can be found at: https://officiallaraj.com/. She’s also very active on LinkedIn. Her book, “Hunt or be Hunted,” outlines her Global GRIT System while delivering practical strategies to improve yourself and the teams you operate within. An easy read packed full of wisdom, I can’t recommend it enough. Her passion is intoxicating and it spans beyond her direct work with GRIT Global. She’s a board member of Warrior Rising, a nonprofit organization focused on veterans transitioning out of military service, and a committee member of Dignity Health’s Foundation “Heaven Hummingbirds,” a program that offers various kinds of support for parents who have lost children.
