Today, in a world of fast-paced technology and instant gratification, it is easy for individuals to become complacent with their lives or lack the drive needed to achieve personal growth. Chad's upbringing serves as a reminder that there is always the potential within us to push ourselves beyond our ordinary world if we have the right mindset.

Chad was only 18, with college golf on the horizon, when 9/11 happened. The tragedy of that day sparked a profound sense of duty within him. He knew that he wanted to serve his country.

Many believed Chad would fail during SEAL training, but he made it through Hell Week - arguably the most difficult physical and mental challenge in the world - one rock at a time. He was determined to succeed, because he knew his why.

Now, as a former pro athlete, author, and entrepreneur, Chad learned that the hard times in life are not all bad. When you focus on developing new skills and working hard to achieve your dreams, anything is possible. With determination, dedication, perseverance, and the right people by your side, anything can be accomplished. No matter what challenges life throws our way, if you never give up on yourself and keep just putting one foot in front of the other, you will eventually make it.
