In this Warrior Log Episode I reflect on what being a hero is and how you can be one in your life. These reflections come after the Parkland Mass Shooting that occurred in my backyard. Rather than focus on the negativity and the sadness of that incident I was inspired by a hero football coach who laid down his life to protect his students. Hero's don't expect a thank you for their bravery, it's embedded in their core. They go beyond their call of duty and help other in need. I talk about being selfless, fearless and how to challenge your courage every day for growth and internal fortitude.
