Summary
Today’s guest is Nick Norris.
Nick is a Navy SEAL combat veteran, entrepreneur, and mental health advocate.
During his ten years with the Teams, Nick made several combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.

Nick is now on the Board of Directors for the organization.
Nick is also the co-founder of the company Protekt with Navy veteran Tim Duba and waterman Mark Healey.
