That perspective was further shaped through the privilege of working alongside Medal of Honor recipient Hershel “Woody” Williams, whose example of service and commitment to others left a lasting impression on him. Tim’s own journey eventually led him to create the Coin of Resilience, a tangible reminder to keep fighting, reach out, and remember that you are not alone. What began with a single coin grew into Symbolisms for Resilience, the nonprofit he founded to carry that message forward. https://thesymbolswecarry.com Discover inspiring conversations with today's leading authors, celebrities, thought leaders, and change makers.
