Summary

Aaron Hunnel worked hard on the speech he had been asked to give before running the Boston Marathon. But the man who spoke first started his speech with the same story Aaron was going to use. More nervous than ever, he had 2 choices: let the fear overcome him or find his courage. Aaron is a US Army veteran, award-winning wellness consultant, author, and now, a national speaker. After returning home from two deployments, he hit rock bottom, failing in his personal and professional life. But he began moving upwards again once he realized and harnessed his personal power through endurance racing.
