Join Kim and Co-Host Simon Lewis as they discuss gratitude. Has the Attitude of Gratitude had a societal shift toward an attitude of entitlement? As we gather to give Thanks at this time, we focus only on the blessings, rather than the shortcomings of our individual life circumstances.
Green Zone Hero John Krotec
John Krotec is an entrepreneur, writer, and army veteran. After college John went to work in corporate America and realized that despite doing well in the job, he wanted something more. He joined the army later in life with the purpose of being able to make money to go to law school. The army taught him discipline and how to value himself. After serving for three years he left the army and returned to civilian life. It was then that he got reacquainted with his future wife, helping her raise a family. Together they also successfully ran a business for 23 years leading international guided tours.
In 2012 John hit rock bottom and survived a traumatic brain injury. This unleashed his demons and forced him to cope with the trauma he experiences at a young-age. Over this time, he almost lost his marriage and family. With months of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Hemp-Based Pharmaceutical treatment, he developed his own healing system by using creative pursuits for coping with trauma and saving his marriage in the process. In 2016 he founded Greenzone Hero, Tan online community that honors freedom to improve business. See: greenzonehero.com

Marr wasn’t impressed with the current state of Veterans’ Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder PTSD patient care. So… instead of waiting for someone else to change it, he decided to act! He sought out to find an alternative way to provide world class care to Veterans affected by TBI and PTSD. The Warrior Angels Foundation along with Dr. Mark L. Gordon have done it! See: www.waftbi.org
