Defining Moments
How I responded to discouragement
THE NOISE
Messages from Peers:
No way you can start up a nonprofit for military veterans and make it successful. There's already too many of them.
How I responded:
The struggle is real, but the reward is great!
Experiences and challenges that shaped me
