Leading With Vulnerability

Time for a Veterans Day war story. I'll also talk about the meaning of Veterans Day and some of the unintended consequences of Veterans Day.

** From Nick's website | Linked below**  I am a transformational life coach, entrepreneur, father and former US Army Ranger.  My mission is to empower you to live your life as an adventure - with peace, passion and intention.  I do this by helping you embrace uncertainty and envision the life you want to live (your adventure).  I guide you through first steps and hold you accountable for taking action.  In addition to coaching sessions by phone and in person, I take you out in the wilderness for "adventure coaching sessions" to get you out of your head and into your heart.  I listen, reflect, and support you to grow.  I celebrate your successes and push you to be brave, go farther, and we do it together.  ​Throughout this bold and adventurous life, I have won and lost.  I have played with the fear of the deep unknown. I have tasted the sweet victory resulting from dedicated effort and hard work.  I have felt the pain of trying to control things beyond my control.  As a recovering “control addict” and former corporate employee (asleep at the wheel of my life), I have felt the struggle of living disconnectedly – void of true purpose – a vassal to the grind and societal expectations.  I’ve been stuck in the preservation zone, playing safe and playing small.     I got unstuck when a life coach, and friend, asked me one pivotal question. It was the question that cut deep and shook me to the core. It shook me awake - wide awake.  I grabbed the wheel, and redirected my course towards passion and purpose.   I chose to live with intention and explore the possibilities of my most adventurous life.  With critical guidance from my coach – I now live my adventure.   It's my turn to help you live yours!    https://www.nickdevlincoaching.com/

In 2010 I sent socks in care packages to a friend deployed to Afghanistan - and that set off a chain of events that I never could have imagined! The socks were a hit, and the idea of SOLEDIER SOCKS was born. An entrepreneurial spirit, patriotic heart, and desire to give back were the perfect recipe to take that leap of faith and start my own company!  Now, we create the most comfortable & durable socks possible, supporting our U.S. Military community with every purchase - making sure dealing with a blister is the last thing a deployed service member should be worrying about!
