My name is Ari and I believe in leaving everyone and everything better than I found it. The world is busy and the days are long. Everyone could use a reminder of all that is great and resilient within us to help replenish intrinsic motivation. To do this, I share stories about incredible acts of strength, conviction, and courage performed throughout history by folks just like you and me. Listen, pause, reflect and move forward with renewed belief in your ability to kick ass. Welcome to Made of Mettle, a motivational podcast. Where we tell stories about regular people overcoming insurmountable odds.
