It's important to stay dedicated and motivated, regardless of the outcome.” — Matthew Faiola Connect with Matthew Faiola: Email: mfaiola@tyburnacademy.com Connect with Justin Fatica: Email: contact@amazingnation.org Twitter: https://twitter.com/JustinFatica Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JustinFatica Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justinfatica/?hl=en YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JustinFatica Justin’s Books: Hard As Nails: https://www.amazon.com/Hard-Nails-Mission-Awaken-Youth/dp/0385527179/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1696950768&sr=8-5 You're Amazing: https://amazingnation.shop/collections/books/products/youre-amazing-a-message-of-hope-that-will-change-your-life-forever Win It All: https://amazingnation.shop/collections/books/products/win-it-all-the-way-to-heaven-for-catholic-teens 40-Day Prayer Workout: https://amazingnation.shop/collections/books/products/prayer-workout-devotional-book-40-days-of-biblical-reflections Children's Book: https://amazingnation.shop/collections/books/products/youre-amazing-childrens-book Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel Alvarez Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
