    RRT #75 "it is real easy to be a critic"

    On today's episode 5 of Quick Gems of Resilience and Episode 75 of the REAL RESILIENCE TALK is me reading an excerpt from my book, "All Things Considered: 33 Gems of Resilience" entry from pages 79-80. My newest book, Thank You Warriors, is a collection of lessons shaped by more than 23 years of active-duty service in the United States Marine Corps. It reflects the leadership, resilience, and empathy I’ve learned from Warriors of all ranks and from across the world. This book is my personal “thank you” to the Marine Corps and to the many leaders and mentors who invested in me along the way. All profits from Thank You Warriors will be donated to credible Veteran Service Organizations and charities. If you’re looking for grounded perspective on leadership, resilience, and human connection, you can find the book here: https://a.co/d/bOffWp3 My first book, published in February 2025, All Things Considered: 33 Gems of Resilience, was truly a labor of love. I wrote it—and honestly, both books—with the hope that something within these pages might help someone who needs it. If you’d like a copy of my first book, you can find it here: https://a.co/d/5XFiB0q If you’ve already read either of these 2025 releases, thank you. I would greatly appreciate you leaving a review on Amazon. A sincere thank you to the artist who created both covers, and to my Editor-in-Chief, C. Nolan, for helping bring these projects to life. Thank you to the artist behind the illustrations too! I love you C! #1stAmendment #33GemsOfResilience #RealResilienceTalk #thankyouWarriors #likeitornotweareallwegot
