Episode 211 - Josef Serfaty - Fitness and Resiliency Mindset Coach/Mindfully Resilient Podcast, Creator

 

“The concept of resilience was never in my vocabulary…I was the person who reacted a lot.”

“Life changed…how do I steer the ship towards the lighthouse?”

-Josef Serfaty

In Episode 211 of The Two Fit Crazies and a Microphone Podcast, the fit crazies welcome an amazing Canadian by the name of Josef Serfaty. Joining the show from Ontario, Josef shares his inspirational journey from a young, aggressive, reactive teenager, to the resilient life force he now brings forth to the world. After being laid off from an unfulfilling job in 2018, life changed for Josef. Listen closely as he reveals how he was able to “steer his ship towards the lighthouse” with the help of game-changing mentors like Sgt. Ken Weichert and Todd Durkin. With their guidance and mentorship, Josef discusses how his dreams of being a speaker and fitness presenter began to unfold before his very eyes. Currently a successful podcaster with a laser-focus on spreading his principles of resiliency with the world, Josef Serfaty is just getting started. Be sure to check out Josef on the Mindfully Resilient Podcast (after listening to the Two Fit Crazies, of course) and discover some of the things that you can do to be more resilient and “create your own choir.”

Joining the show from Weehawken, New Jersey, Ron’s energy is off the charts as he breaks down the where, the how, and the why behind his latest adventure, a 60-mile charity run for his 60th birthday!

Today, Ron discusses how he knew he “wanted to do something epic” to celebrate his 60th birthday, but after learning about the recent health issues plaguing professional runner, Tommy Rivers Puzey, Ron knew this was his calling. Ron shares his amazing 60-mile birthday run on one of the coldest and windiest days New York has seen all winter with the goal of raising money to help “Rivs” family cover aggressive cancer treatments. With a goal of $10,000 and a mindset to serve, Ron shares his views on how anyone can make a difference in this world. For Ron, setting up a GoFundMe page on Instagram @RonRunsNYC and “doing crazy shit,” was a way he could bring awareness to a worthy cause.
