Colonel, three-time Bronze Star recipient, and founder of SOF Missions, a nonprofit fighting the veteran suicide epidemic killing 20+ Americans a day. From juvenile delinquent in South LA to elite special warfare officer with four combat deployments, Dr. Friedman breaks down why comfort is a disease, the one character trait that kills more companies than bad strategy, and the leadership lessons most CEOs will never learn unless they've operated where failure means death — not a bad quarter.
