Perseverance Principles with JJ Mazzo

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with JJ Mazzo, author and
entrepreneur for a candid conversation about his new book, Perseverance Principles: How to Unlock Confidence, Consistency, and Wealth Under Pressure.

JJ’s story is marked by incredible highs and transformative lows: from childhood adversity to building a nationally recognized business, finding success, losing it all, and then climbing his way back. In this conversation, JJ opens up about the “why” behind his book, the personal journey that inspired it, and the faith-driven transformation that changed everything.

Whether you’re searching for meaning in the midst of setbacks, or you want practical principles for pushing through under pressure, this episode is a powerful reminder that you’re not alone and that your breakthrough might be on the other side of your hardest moments.
