I wanted to be tested to see if I could even do it.</li> <li>The most isolated and depressed I’ve ever felt was being in a Haitian jail. I had zero control – there’s nothing we could do. Bare-footed with a shirt &amp; pants, and that’s it.</li> <li>My headspace was in survival mode.</li> <li>I had never been so terrified. When I finally got on that plane with my passport on a commercial airline to Miami, tears were streaming down my eyes.</li> <li>One day my wife started slurring her speech, and we learned she had contracted Myasthenia Gravis, an auto-immune disease that affects the immune system from the shoulders up.</li> <li>One night while in the hospital, she was looking at me, and her eyes rolled back into her head. I quickly assembled the bag mask and called for help. I’ve never been through anything like that. It was a never quit moment.</li> <li>You push forward by being the positive light in someone else’s miserable experience.</li> <li>You gotta be a rock for your people.</li> <li>You can’t bail on people when it gets to be the hardest part of their life.</li> <li>It doesn’t matter how much money you’ve got, you can’t be a Navy SEAL. You gotta put the work in.</li> <li>No matter how much someone would pay me, I’d never put myself back in a position to work for someone else.</li> <li>My goal in life is to never work for somebody else.</li> </ul>
