Today, my guest is John Krotec - an entrepreneur, speaker, writer, and army veteran. After college he went to work in corporate America and realized that despite doing well on the job, he wanted something more. He joined the Army later in life with the purpose of serving his country. The Army taught him discipline and how to value himself. After three years of active duty, he left active duty and returned to civilian life. It was then that he got reacquainted with his future wife, helping her to raise a family. Together, they also ran a successful business for over two decades - selling travel gear and clothing. In 2012, John hit rock bottom and survived a traumatic brain injury caused by an alcohol field traffic accident. This unleashed his demons and forced him to finally cope with the trauma he experienced at a young age. over this time he almost lost his marriage and his family. With months of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Hemp based pharmaceuticals (CBD), he developed his own healing system by developing creative pursuits for coping with trauma and saving his marriage in the process. John is currently involved in several creative business and holistic healing pursuits, which include Green Zone Hero, Straight Outta Combat Radio, Task Force Zen Journeys, What’s Your Apocalypse?, and his new series of poetry books entitled Fractals.
