Tony met Zack Hughes during one of his speaking events.  He remembers Zack speaking to a stunned, silent room.  Zack's story is captivating and uplifting, and he's here to share it today.  Zack spent nearly 2 and a half years training to be a green beret.  He looked up to special ops and considered them heroes.  Ready to dedicate his life to something he was passionate about, Zack's dream was cut short when, 6 years in, he got injured in Afghanistan.  Getting medically retired changed his world and brought Zack to a dark place.  He didn't think he would be lucky enough to find a second passion until he discovered non-profit work.  It didn't happen overnight, but Zack is now passionate about helping to transition special operators to find their next mission in life.   -- After a 20 + year career of being an iNSIDER on WallStreet and owning his firm – Tony Kassaei walked away, so he could share the ugly side of being on the inside.
