121: Rick Alexander - Does adversity give meaning to our lives?

Rick Alexander is an author, speaker, and serves as the Chief Growth Operator for The Special Forces Experience. He spent 12 years in the United States Navy as a Special Operations Combat Medic and has completed multiple ultra-endurance events, including a 240 mile run in body armor to raise money for the children of fallen heroes. As such, his work draws on this depth of experience in order to help people craft meaningful lives while in the heat of adversity.

His current work is focused on the intersection of spirituality and psychology. You can hear his ideas on the podcast Morning Coffee with Rick Alexander, which airs Monday through Friday, or by checking out his latest book, Ambitious Heroes and Heartache (available in all formats).
