In this interview with BEYOND THE CRUCIBLE host and Crucible Leadership founder Warwick Fairfax, Koehn explains how her search for lighthouses of hope in the lives of great leaders who were dented by crucible experiences helped her find healing through FORGED IN CRISIS, her best-selling book about their trials and triumphs.

At 19, Ryan Campbell became the youngest pilot to fly solo around the world.

Perfection is not a required in your journey beyond your crucible — as the characters in HOOSIERS teach us. As long as we keep moving forward, guided by our vision and values and supported by a team of fellow travelers , we can achieve lives of significance.
For Tony Stark, as for most of the real-life guests on BEYOND THE CRUCIBLE, life’s setbacks and failures are the fuel for leading a life of significance rooted in their vision and values.
