Finding Relentless Positivity Ahead of the New Year with Kyle Cozad
Rear Admiral Kyle Cozad is a storied US veteran who unfortunately suffered a spinal cord injury in his home after three decades of service. Kyle was told he would never be out of a wheelchair ever again, a statement he would take as a challenge.
Cozad found through his faith, relationships with other wounded warriors, and experience as a pilot that he would find the light at the end of the tunnel after losing his ability to walk. In the years since, Cozad has served as a motivational speaker and writer, promoting the Naval Aviation Museum at the Navy base in Pensacola Florida.
All proceeds from Kyle's new book "Relentless Positivity" go directly to the Naval Aviation Museum to support its accessibility to people around the country.

Customer Reviews
SOLID
Burke has excellent interview skills. I appreciate how he tees up questions for his guests and he does so much research. He doesn’t dominate the conversation and after every episode I really feel like I’ve learned something…which make me always go back for more. If you are on the fence about listening to this podcast, DO IT! You won’t be sorry.
Great Variety of Guests and Great Interviewer
Burke is as smooth as they come and brings out the best in his guests.
