Abandoned. Abused. Deployed. Lost. And redeemed. Danny Farrar has lived a life of struggle, of odds stacked up against him; he’s lived a heroic life, though he hasn’t always been the hero. He has failed--academically, financially, personally--more times than he can remember, but he has also found the path to success by controlling the things he can. By working harder and fighting. And by showing up everyday, no matter what. Danny has learned this lesson by living a life straight out of Hollywood fiction.

Given away to a family that didn’t want him. Raised in a house that almost broke him. A military career that took him into the Pentagon on 9/11 to search for bodies and later saw him deployed in some of the most dangerous places on earth, hardened and transformed by what he saw and did. A civilian life that left him homeless, aimless, and that led to a suicide attempt only to offer him another chance at the American Dream. Through his story, alternately heartbreaking and redemptive, and a discussion of the corresponding lessons he learned, SoldierFit CEO Danny Farrar shows the importance of not letting life break you and instead pushing toward the oncoming storm, turning and running not away but instead directly into the face of it, no matter the obstacles ahead. Because on the other side of every crushing defeat is another opportunity.
