True confidence isn’t a mask. It’s not about faking strength or pretending you’re okay. It’s about becoming unshakable in the face of life’s hardest moments—and learning how to rise every time you fall.

 

JJ Mazzo, Senior Mortgage Banker and EVP with CrossCountry Mortgage, is recognized as one of the nation’s top mortgage professionals. Today, he’s a leader who radiates confidence, consistency, and calm under pressure. But his journey here was forged in fire—through deep personal challenges, moments of despair, and battles with his own past.

 

In this powerful episode of the Tom Ferry Podcast Experience, Tom sits down with JJ to unpack his new book, “Perseverance Principles: How to Unlock Confidence, Consistency, and Wealth Under Pressure.” 

 

Together, they explore:

  • Exercises to work through hidden trauma that quietly shapes your choices and limits your potential
  • The key principles that turn pressure into power
  • How to create authentic confidence when life throws you curveballs 

 

Whether you’re in the middle of a personal storm or preparing for the challenges ahead, these principles will equip you to stand taller, lead with authenticity, and create a future you’re proud of.
