Description

In a feat of medical prowess that would make even MacGyver tear up, Marine Sgt. John Peck has had to overcome some major hurdles in his life. For example, there was the time he was blown up by an IED in Iraq, which left him with a traumatic brain injury and amnesia. However, this was only the beginning of the problems for Peck, who nearly died in recovery when he contracted a flesh-eating fungus at Walter Reed Hospital. Nevertheless, Peck survived and was given a few prosthetic limbs before he contracted yet another type of flesh-eating fungus and lost all his limbs due to an immune system disorder. This only set him on a course for another groundbreaking operation, this time involving a bilateral arm transplant that was successful!

Free Work is the New Resume

Focus on Value Creation

The author emphasizes the importance of creating value in whatever you do. Instead of just looking for a job, find ways to provide value to others. This mindset can open up new opportunities and make you more attractive to potential employers.

Embrace Failure

Charlie Hoehn reminds us that failure is a part of the journey. Instead of fearing it, embrace it as a learning opportunity. It's through these failures that you'll gain the experience and resilience needed to succeed in your career.
