Zachary had grown a company from the trunk of his car to a $30 million dollar business and recently published a book that launched to International Best Seller status in the first few weeks.
Col. Player climbed as an enlisted Marine to the rank of Colonel and command of COVID-19 Task Force Commitment, supporting the entry level training pipeline for MCRD Parris Island.
The warrior ethos encompassed much of the reason for their successes and they both wanted to learn more about other warrior’s ranging from the mom who works two jobs to take care of her kids, to the soldier who conquered their mission while facing danger.
