The Power of Perseverance: J. J. Mazzo’s Fight Through Adversity

In this episode of The Burn Podcast, Ben Newman sits down with mortgage-industry titan, coach, and now author J. J. Mazzo to unpack his new book Perseverance Principles (releasing October 7). J. J. opens up about the messy middle—imposter syndrome, financial pressure, family leadership, and faith—and how seven practical principles became his playbook for pushing through the toughest seasons. This conversation is raw, real, and relentlessly hopeful. From building Impact, his coaching company, to donating the book’s proceeds to Robin’s Nest and the Orange County Rescue Mission, J. J. shows what it looks like to persevere with purpose and why faith, standards, and community matter most when life hits hard.Together, Ben and J. J. dive into why perseverance is needed now more than ever. They explore how faith anchors discipline, why leading at home is the ultimate test of character, and how grace and forgiveness allow anyone to start over—no matter how far they’ve fallen. J. J. shares his vulnerable journey of setbacks and shame, and how choosing transparency created a book that is not just a story but a playbook for anyone navigating adversity. His decision to give all proceeds to charity is a testament to his servant leadership and commitment to paying it forward.Pre-Order/Order: Perseverance Principles — releasing October 7 with Wiley.
