Today's guest is Nick Lavery, and I just finished having the conversation with Nick.

And this was one of my favorite podcast episodes to date.

On March 11th, 2013, Nick was stationed in Afghanistan just weeks away from returning home from a

deployment. And he was attacked from an insider attack, a green-on-blue situation and nearly lost his life.

And through that attack, sustained multiple injuries that resulted in an above-the-knee amputee to his leg.

Nick was the first above-the-knee amputee to return back to the leg. Nick was the first above the knee amputee to return back to combat as a special

forces operator, a green beret on a team, on an ODA.

And in my conversation with Nick, we talk about his journey to becoming a green bray,

the injuries he sustained from the attack on his deployment,

and then his journey back to duty, back to the teams.

It's an amazing, remarkable story, great values and lessons

to take away from this conversation that you can apply to your life regardless if you

are in the military or not. I am blown away by Nick and his life and his perspective and the way that he just

ruthlessly attacks his goals by placing the mission first, placing the people first, placing the

team first. So let's dive into today's episode

Nick it's been a long time coming long time man yeah welcome welcome brother thanks

good to be here man I appreciate you your story is remarkable and i think

it's the only way to to describe it and i use the word remarkable very rarely i'm a big fan of the

author entrepreneur speaker set Seth Godin.

He's a world-class marketer.

And he says that the word remarkable is so unique and should be used so rarely

that it is almost the opposite of great.
