Chris Romulo is a person who knows a thing or two about mental resilience. He is a retired champion Muay Thai fighter.
Over the years, he turned setbacks into comebacks.
After losing his home and gym in the Rockaways to Hurricane Sandy, he then endured a second shutdown of his gym during the pandemic.
Romulo and his family had to rebuild from scratch. He now delivers keynote speechs and leads workshops nationwide focusing on mental resilience, mindset and emotional recovery.
As part of NY1's coverage of Mental Health Awareness Month, Romulo spoke with NY1 anchor Rocco Vertuccio Saturday morning on "Weekends On 1."
