In this powerful episode of Courageous Crossroads, host Jeff Johnson sits down with entrepreneur, consultant, and small-town mayor Bryan Arzani, whose journey from a paperboy in Iowa to founder of the Results Group is anything but ordinary. A former athlete, missionary, and corporate strategist, Bryan shares how he built a successful consulting firm by combining multiple psychological models to unlock human potential—but it’s his deeply personal story of overcoming alcohol addiction that reveals his truest act of courage. With raw honesty, he opens up about faith, fatherhood, loss, and the quiet resilience it takes to confront the struggles no one sees. From starting over 45 days from bankruptcy to helping his daughter rebuild her life after unimaginable tragedy, Bryan embodies his own definition of courage: leaning into the thing you don't want to do.
