LIGHTS, CAMERA, CRUCIBLES 7: Iron Man #128

Few movie heroes undergo a success-to-significance arc fueled by their crucible more dramatically than Iron Man – and maybe even more so, his alter ego, Tony Stark. In his first movie appearance, Tony is a glib, hedonistic billionaire playboy who has a lot to live with, but not much to live for. That all changes when he’s attacked with some of the same missiles his company makes and is nearly killed. As he emerges from that crucible, given a second chance by one man’s surgical skill and self-sacrifice, he becomes an entirely new man – and not just because he builds himself a suit of super-powered armor.   Be sure to listen for how Robert Downey Jr., the actor who brought the character to life over nine films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, describes his journey: it sounds like something straight out of Crucible Leadership.   To get Warwick Fairfax's Wall Street Journal best-seller CRUCIBLE LEADERSHIP: EMBRACE YOUR TRIALS TO LEAD A LIFE OF SIGNIFICANCE and to explore Crucible Leadership resources to help you live a life on purpose dedicated to serving others, visit www.crucibleleadership.com
