The Hero and The Healer Grant Fairman

Carey DuVal is a Retired Army Captain, Combat Veteran, CrossFit Coach, Yoga Teacher, Personal Trainer, Champion Adaptive Athlete, Prosthetics designer, and general health enthusiast. Carey is dedicated to helping others and works with multiple charity teams to compete and speak at events around the country on adaptive athletics and Veteran's affairs. He has acted as a consultant for prosthetics development and government-funded medical research.

In this episode we discuss Carey's experience surviving a Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) in Iraq in 2014 in which he suffered multiple injuries and ultimately the loss of his right hand. Carey's lessons in mindset and general outlook on life are a true inspiration to all. Through his actions and continued pursuit of success, we are reminded that we have the uncanny ability to adapt and overcome circumstance so long as we are willing to learn, work, and not allow initial failure to prevent us from achieving our goals. This was a fantastic conversation that has a lot of value that I think you'll enjoy!!

"Imagine what we can achieve if we don't care who gets the credit" - Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States. In this episode I explore what this quote means to me and what leadership without ego looks like. When we don't care who gets the credit individual, team, group, and organizational potential is limitless. As soon as we start seeking credit we begin to set aside each others' humanity and are ultimately doomed to fail. Joint the conversation on IG @fivepeakspodcast and let us know what you think.

In this episode I explore some ideas that have been circling my head around empathy and outward mindset. Much of this comes from the Arbinger Institutes books Outward Mindset and Leadership and Self Deception. These two book are extremely informative and thought provoking in their lessons on seeing others as people rather than objects.
