Maximizing Opportunities with Jacek Waliszewski.

Jacek Waliszewski is a US Army Special Forces Green Beret, author, and military advisor. He immigrated to America as a political refugee with his family and $200 in the 1980s and he has since lived a life of diplomatic travel and adventure. Jacek shares his take on how to maximize opportunity regardless of how much you have or where you are from. He reveals the premise for his latest novel, Air Boat, loosely based on his time serving in the Afghanistan War, as well as the story of how he committed his first political act of resistance at three months old.
