Bio:
After being severely injured by a suicide bomber who exploded 3-feet away from me in Kandahar, Afghanistan, Brian Fleming spent 14 months at a hospital enduring painful burn treatments, reconstructive surgery, and brain injury rehabilitation. After leaving the military, he became an author & speaker because he wanted to help other people with the lessons he'd learned that helped him overcome his war injury. Over the past 16 years, he's spoken to over half-a-million people in live audiences globally (including the US military and several of the Fortune 500), has written 4 books, and has been featured on almost every major news network in America on the topic of resilience and how to stand firm when everything around you is blowing up!
