I grew on a NATO base in S.H.A.P.E (Casteau), Belgium but now reside back in Prestatyn, North Wales.

In the predawn hours of March 4, 2002, just below the 10,469-foot peak of a mountain in eastern Afghanistan, a fierce battle raged. Outnumbered by Al Qaeda fighters, Air Force Combat Controller John Chapman and a handful of Navy SEALs struggled to take the summit in a desperate bid to find a lost teammate.

Chapman, leading the charge, was gravely wounded in the initial assault. Believing he was dead, his SEAL leader ordered a retreat. Chapman regained consciousness alone, with the enemy closing in on three sides.

John Chapman's subsequent display of incredible valor -- first saving the lives of his SEAL teammates and then, knowing he was mortally wounded, single-handedly engaging two dozen hardened fighters to save the lives of an incoming rescue squad -- posthumously earned him the Medal of Honor. Chapman is the first airman in nearly fifty years to be given the distinction reserved for America's greatest heroes.

Alone at Dawn is also a behind-the-scenes look at the Air Force Combat Controllers: the world's deadliest and most versatile special operations force, whose members must not only exceed the qualifications of Navy SEAL and Army Delta Force teams but also act with sharp decisiveness and deft precision -- even in the face of life-threatening danger.

Drawing from firsthand accounts, classified documents, dramatic video footage, and extensive interviews with leaders and survivors of the operation, Alone at Dawn is the story of an extraordinary man's brave last stand and the brotherhood that forged him.

My name is Purdeep Sangha and I’m widely known as “The Strategist For Men In Business”.

You and I might not have met in person, but I know quite a bit about what you’re going through with your business and life right now. Let’s admit it, life isn’t so easy but it’s “suppose” to be right?!

I know what the stress of being a man, husband, father and business professional feels like. Balancing a happy family with a successful business can be a struggle. That feeling of unease when you’re spending time with your family, but constantly thinking about what you need to get done at work. Or when you’re working, but you’re feeling the guilt of not being the husband or father you REALLY want to be or giving them the quality time they want. And personal goals, free time and feeling FULFILLED in life, well that gets put on a shelf to collect dust. It becomes a cycle that never ends.

I’m hear to tell you that there is a better way! After years of struggling myself, I discovered a SYSTEM that the majority of men have zero clue about but has exponential impact. Ever since, I have used this formula to teach men like you, who as a result, have transformed themselves, their incomes and lives.

So in summary, I’ll teach you how to transform yourself into a PROFIT-MULTIPLYING POWERHOUSE with my 3P System: Profits – Power – Passion!
