"Warrior Entrepreneur develops both the intellectual and the gritty reality of leadership needed to win in the 21st Century. It champions the lessons learned from adversity and failures in the same way that “iron sharpens iron”, which develops both the drive and direction necessary to be successful in today’s evolving entrepreneur world.

"Superb read…the military teaches lifelong skills working as a team, the entrepreneur often is alone in their quest but can fall back on those life skills to keep going when others throw in the towel…this is an excellent primer for those considering the life changing adventure down the entrepreneurial trail.”

"The best teacher in life is adversity. I've seen it over and over again mentoring countless startups over the years. The best outcomes are usually found by the companies that have either had the highest hurdles to overcome or the wisdom to know which battles to avoid entirely and find other ways to attack their market. I've been fortunate to work with Zach as he's faced some tough choices over the years - and learn from all of them. Let his entrepreneurial education help guide your journey."
