by Tim Kennedy
First published 2022
Tim Kennedy thrives on danger but struggles with everything else. The decorated Green Beret sniper and UFC fighter has wrestled bulls barehanded, hunted Taliban fighters in Afghanistan, and tracked human traffickers across the globe. Yet this same man got himself fired from the police department, the fire department, and his EMT job. He managed to get two women pregnant within four days of each other. His own Special Forces teammates beat him up for being a selfish jerk. Kennedy feels most alive when death lurks closest, but his personal life keeps exploding around him. Through raw stories of combat missions, business ventures, and family chaos, he traces how his biggest failures became the foundation for his success as an entrepreneur and family man. This memoir reveals how embracing disaster can unlock your strongest self.
