Conquer Anything: A Green Berets Guide to Building Your A-Team Greg Stube

b'Retired SFC Greg Stube is a speaker on leadership and character. A serious injury sustained during a mission forced him into medical retirement. This didn\\u2019t stop him from serving, though, as he became the spokesperson of the Green Berets after recovery.\\n\\n\\u201cThe lessons we learn in the service of our country, we owe them back to the country. It reminds me of George Washington. At the end of his service, he took the uniform off and he was asked to be our first president and he reluctantly agreed. But he kept serving.\\u201d - Greg Stube\\nGreg Stube - Special Forces Command\\nGreg joined the Army Infantry in 1988. Then a boy with the grandeur of youth, he recalls being under the impression that they were going to turn him to Rambo. What he found was something entirely different with all the supervision that somehow felt suppressive to his freedom and potential.\\n\\nHe got the opportunity to join the Special Forces, and wounded up in a special training program. For the next 19 years, he spent his career as part of the Green Berets.\\n\\nThe Cohen Veterans Network, a not-for-profit philanthropic organization, was created to serve them by providing high-quality, accessible, and integrated mental health care.\\nTransition by Injury \\nDuring Operation Medusa in Afghanistan in 2006, Greg sustained several fatal injuries. He spent a year and a half recovering from the life-altering experience, and credits his A-team and faith with his miraculous survival.\\n\\nRefusing to become just another victim of warfare, he rose to the challenge of his commanding general after his hospitalization. He got into public affairs and became the spokesperson of the Green Berets for four years. \\nBuilding Himself Back\\nThe lack of a sense of purpose after early retirement has made it difficult for veterans to move forward. Greg knows this. He laments how young men and women can say right off the bat that they are retired, when it\\u2019s not a place they\\u2019re supposed to be.\\n\\n\\u201cI think that\\u2019s a moment of time in your life where if you exit immediately without developing anything or salvaging anything that\\u2019s left of your military self, it\\u2019s almost like such a big reset button that you may not get back on your feet completely.\\u201d - Greg Stube\\n\\nHe has therefore made it his mission to continue serving the country in other ways. He owes the nation that much, after all the lessons he\\u2019s learned through his military career. Greg has since moved on from active military duty to authoring, public speaking, and charity, with focus on leadership and building one\\u2019s A-team.\\n\\nDon\\u2019t forget to leave us a 5-star rating and review if you enjoyed the show.
