Nick Lavery, Green Beret and Army Special Forces member, has been shot, blown up, and beaten down. After an insider attack in Afghanistan left him without a leg, Nick wasn’t supposed to return to the Army. He’s had over thirty surgeries, lived with excruciating pain, and had his physical power taken from him. But now, he’s back, and he’s had to adapt, swearing to make those who took from him “regret not killing me.”
You’re going through a challenge in your life, too, just like Nick. Business problems, personal problems, physical problems—no matter what you’re dealing with, Nick has advice to share. After pushing through pain that would kill most people and coming back stronger, Nick is now an expert in growing during the most demanding times. Whatever happens in your life, the skills and mindset Nick shares in today’s episode will prove priceless to you in the future.
