Podcast

This interview is perhaps one of the most interesting and inspiring we’ve done, especially for those who have been through a traumatic experience at some point in their lives.

We chat with former major in the US Army, Josh Mantz. He’s now a professional speaker, author and CEO of Asymmetric Mind.

His story is incredible, having been deployed to Iraq in 2007, shot by a sniper and declared dead for 15 minutes. He knows trauma better than most, yet his post-traumatic growth as he calls it, is thriving.

Josh now spends his days building leadership and development programs for Fortune 500 companies in the private sector, based on his experience in the military. He shared his experiences, trauma and mental health issues in his book, ‘The Beauty of a Darker Soul: Overcoming Trauma Through the Power of Human Connection’.

We delve into the habits that keep Josh on top of it all, the struggles as an entrepreneur and the different dimensions of leadership.
