Lessons on Resilience with Afterburner CEO Joel Neeb


Listen Later

As an F-15 pilot, Joel “Thor” Neeb escorted the U.S. President through the sky and flew missions to ensure the safety of the country after the attacks of 9/11.  Currently, he is the leadership speaker and CEO of Afterburner - a business development company.

Thor is humbled to have had incredible experiences within the military and Afterburner, but he is most proud of the following accomplishments. In 2010, he was diagnosed with Stage IV cancer and given about a 15% chance to live. Instead of giving up, Thor developed what he calls "the survivor's obligation" and decided to give back. He started a youth outreach program in San Antonio that has grown to help more than 15,000 at-risk kids. Their efforts have been featured on every news channel for 100 miles and one national media outlet. 

Thor completed the New Zealand Ironman Triathlon in March of 2015 to commemorate the five-year anniversary of his Stage IV cancer diagnosis and to raise awareness for the rare and deadly cancer that he battled.

Thor also sits on the board of several national organizations and is the co-founder of a military support corporation. As Afterburner’s CEO, Thor leads his team of more than 70 elite military professionals. He has helped achieve strategic objectives and foster elite teams for Fortune 100 companies within the tech industry, pharmaceuticals, finance, medical devices, retail apparel and several NFL teams.
