Rudy’s father Daniel Ruettiger
Rudy Ruettiger is a legend himself. He made the Notre Dame class. He then went on to become the heart of the Fighting Irish.
His dad, Daniel Ruettiger, was a war hero and legendary dad. 14 kids. Married a world-class mom. Worked three jobs. Yet he always found time to attend his kids’ games.
Rudy, the movie
One of the defining qualities of life’s winners is this thing I call “grit.” It’s stopping the talk and starting the walk.
Grit is about getting things done. It’s the night & day work it takes to succeed. It’s the “all in” commitment that “nothing will stand in my way.”
Grit is guts, resilience and staying power. While others discuss dreams, those with grit do something about it.
Our guest today is a portrait of grit. As you will learn, so was his dad. He is a friend, author, motivational speaker and personal hero of mine.
