Episode 69: Overcoming Adversity-Interview with Entrepreneur, Speaker and Author Serena Mastin

Some of the most remarkable traits that our combat-wounded Veterans share are bravery, fortitude and resilience. On this latest episode of the WWIA Podcast, we are honored to introduce you to a special guest whose journey has been fraught with numerous challenges and extreme obstacles both personally and professionally. And despite all of it, she has pushed through with strength and determination, overcome trials, and found uncommon success in life.

WWIA Founder and CEO, John McDaniel is proud to welcome friend, entrepreneur, speaker, and author Serena Mastin to the podcast. Serena started her life in witness protection and nine different foster homes, leading to teenage addiction and homelessness, and most recently walked through the devastation of her husband’s suicide. Serena has faced unimaginable adversity. Yet, despite her challenges, she found a real sense of purpose along the way.

In addition to being a visionary founder and entrepreneur of Pulse Marketing Inc., Serena recently published her first book, Exposed: You Can’t Heal When You Hide, a memoir recounting her life story in harrowing detail. In the book, Serena discusses her experiences with assault, addiction, homelessness, infidelity, mental health, and, ultimately, profound healing. Serena’s thought-provoking story encourages and empowers others to embrace challenges and do it with passion. We are excited to share her story and know it will resonate with you and inspire you.
