Hello and welcome to another episode of the Entrepreneurial Mindset Project. Today, I’m speaking with Dan Thorenson, a former Navy mechanic who became an unlikely entrepreneur.
Growing up in a small town in North Dakota, Dan floundered in school, that is until he discovered an auto shop program that took him from the very bottom of his class to the top.
After high school, he joined the Navy where he became an airplane mechanic, a skill that led to a stable career in the aviation industry. Yet, as he advanced in his career, he soon found himself at a desk job, a nagging inner voice asking, “is this all there is?”
Like many entrepreneurs, it was that nagging inner voice that led him to pursue an entrepreneurial path. Today, Dan’s business, Nordic Turbine Service, is serving clients around the world. Best of all, he is doing something that he truly loves.
Ultimately Dan’s story speaks to the power of entrepreneurial thinking as a way to create meaningful and prosperous lives.
