“When you really believe in what you're doing, you know how much of a difference that makes.” – Dr. Josh McConkey

Today’s featured bestselling, Pulitzer Prize-nominated author is a father, husband, former professor at Duke University, and a Board-Certified Emergency Medicine physician, Dr. Colonel Josh McConkey. Dr. Josh and I had a fun on a bun chat about his book, “Be the Weight Behind the Spear”, leadership lessons from the military, who he’d meet from history (dead or alive), and more!!

Key Things You’ll Learn:

What inspired Dr. Josh to join the military

What it means to be the weight behind the spear

How he balances combat tours, emergency rooms, and writing award-winning books

What he learned about himself through the writing process, and what to expect from future books
