About the Author
John Ramstead
My name is John Ramstead, and I love combining my experience as a Navy combat fighter pilot, Fortune 500 manager and serial entrepreneur with my passion for helping you and your team reach your full potential…all while incorporating the very valuable lessons I learned from surviving a near-fatal horseback riding accident in 2011. Recovering from a severe traumatic brain injury–that required 25 surgeries and put me under hospital care for almost two years—radically transformed my thinking and forced me to connect with who I was meant to be. I learned how to create my best life, and I am excited to help you and your team do the same!
