How to Create an Unstoppable Life

Thank you for Watching the Passion Struck podcast. In this powerful episode, John R. Miles and Navy LCDR Jesse Iwuji discuss how many people have these big goals, these big dreams that they're too scared to go after, and they go to the grave with them. He did not want to be one of those who didn't pursue their bucket list and uses this interview to unveil his secrets for creating an unstoppable life.

Jesse’s episode is the second one during September to salute veterans who served during the 20-year war on terror. The previous episodes featured Motosport Blackall Racing Team, featuring Astronauts Wendy Lawrence and Kayla Barron, Navy SEAL Mark Divine, Navy SEAL, Army Colonel Doctor Bob Adams, and Navy SEAL William Branum.
