Resilience, Redefined: Turning Plot Twists Into Purpose with Nina Sossamon-Pogue

In this powerful episode of Adventurous Entrepreneurs, TJ sits down with Nina Sossamon-Pogue—an elite gymnast turned Emmy-winning journalist, tech executive, bestselling author, and resilience speaker—for a raw and inspiring conversation about navigating life’s biggest plot twists.

From falling short of the Olympics to blowing out her knee in college, losing her anchor job, and rising again through each chapter, Nina shares how every “failure” became a springboard to something greater. Together, TJ and Nina dive into the real meaning of resilience (and how it differs from persistence), why your “reverse resume” may be your greatest strength, and how high achievers can avoid getting trapped in the never-ending success cycle.

You’ll learn:

• 
  How to embrace failure and move forward with intention
• A simple yet powerful framework for building resilience in life and business
• Why asking for help isn’t weakness—it’s strategy
• The myth of work-life balance and what it really means to live well on your own terms

Please enjoy this wide-ranging conversation with Nina Sossamon-Pogue.
