antifragile

Human beings are not fragile. We are not made of glass, shattering at the first sign of adversity. Edward R. Murrow once wrote, "We are not descended from fearful men," and it’s a sentiment worth revisiting in today’s cultural landscape—a landscape where resilience is undervalued, and fragility is often celebrated.

As a retired U.S. Marine, combat veteran, and CEO of Warriors & Quiet Waters, I’ve seen adversity up close. I’ve led Marines through some of the most challenging environments imaginable, witnessing their courage and tenacity under fire. I have also seen the extraordinary strength of military families. I have watched them respond to the worst news imaginable – the death of their loved ones in combat – with dignity, grace, and a resolve to honor their sacrifice.
