"Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him."  James Today we talk to our Naval Academy classmate, Dan Cnossen, who has an incredible story and will motivate us all. Dan Cnossen was serving as the platoon commander for SEAL Team One in Afghanistan in September 2009 when he stepped on an IED (improvised explosive device) and was wounded in the explosion. The accident caused Cnossen to lose both of his legs just above the knee. He went through rehabilitation first at the Bethesda National Naval Medical Center and later at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center where he learned to walk with his new prosthetics. Dan was awarded both a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star with Valor from the Secretary of the Navy for his service in combat. We talk about how Dan recovered from this life changing injury, how he pivoted and became a Paralympian to compete in the 2014 and 2018 winter games, winning the Gold Medal in the Biathalon in 2018 winter games, how he sets goals and the actionable steps to get there, how he has become a huge influence for other wounded warriors by telling his story, and how he continues to serve through multiple platforms, to include non-profit organizations like One More Wave and Classroom Champions, and working with the for-profit organization O2X to help other military and first responders with resilience training.Connect with Dan Cnossen on LinkedIn here:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-cnoss...Check out One More Wave.Check out Classroom Champions.Check out O2X.Books that were discussed in this episode:The 4 Disciplines of ExecutionI ClaudiusThe Way of ZenThe Wisdom of InsecurityJoin us at the Virtual Flip Hacking Live Conference.For more information on buying cash flowing rental properties go to: https://storehouse310turnkey.com/.
