Monday Nov 11, 2024
We are reposting this episode in honor of Veteran's Day!
On this week's episode of Next Level Minds I had the opportunity to sit down with Rick Yarosh. He is is a Retired US Army Sergeant turned husband and father of two. He served in Iraq for nine months before being severely injured by an IED while on patrol in Abu Ghraib on September 1, 2006.
Rick suffered 2nd and 3rd-degree burns on over 60% of his body, had his right leg amputated below the knee, lost both ears, nose, multiple fingers, and most of the function in both hands. He spent half a year in the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas, recovering.
For his heroic service, Rick received the purple heart and was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.
Since then, he has spoken to millions from all walks of life, including sports teams, schools, churches, the military, non-profits, and even on Fox News! His message of overcoming adversity and turning a negative situation into a positive one has made Rick one of the world's HOPE experts.
We chatted all about how to overcome an adversity, the importance of having hope, and ways to stay mentally strong.
