The Power of Adversity on Journey to Self
Joining me this week is philanthropist, business leader and author of The Power of Adversity: Tough Times Can Make You Stronger, Wiser, And Better - Al Weatherhead.
Al is chairman and CEO of Weatherchem Industries in Ohio, a private manufacturer of plastic closures for food, spice, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical products. He has sixty years of experience in the plastics and metalworking industries and is the recipient of various U.S. and Canadian patents for metalworking processes and plastic products.

Having battled alcoholism, rheumatoid arthritis, and heart disease, as well as failed marriages and the loss of a child and brother, Weatherhead learned that adversities really are blessings in disguise. Today, he is a leading philanthropist, having endowed schools at Harvard, Case Western, and Columbia Universities.
