I had looked forward to this episode and my conversation with Zachary Green, and I was not disappointed. Zachary Green is US Marine veteran, a former firefighter, and a successful entrepreneur. Zachary founded his first company out of the trunk of his car and scaled it to over $30 million.

His book Warrior Entrepreneur - Lessons from the Battlefield to the Boardroom is compelling. The book covers his deployment in the Marines and his work as a firefighter.

It details his invention, Foxfire®, which illuminates firefighting equipment, jackets, and helmets, making them visible in dangerous, smoke-filled environments, and Lumaware (https://lumawaresafety.com/), for commercial safety applications. In this episode, we talk about the warrior mindset and "grit" which is Zachary's term for the indomitable spirit, never giving up, never giving in.

Zachary Green, United States Marine Corp. (Ret.) took his warrior spirit to corporate America after his active duty and reserve service and later founded his own multi-million-dollar company. SUMMARY Zachary Green joined the USMC in 1991 and was assigned to a cold weather infantry unit. His goal was to serve in a combat role but as the years went by it appeared time was going to be spent in Garrison garrison and not fighting. Changes came and went and so after 7 years of service, Zachary decided to transition out. Without any career transition support from the Military, Zachary took his grit, perseverance, integrity, and courage and paved his own path. A 10-year career in leadership and development at Eli Lilly and serving his community as a volunteer firefighter led to the founding of his company, MN8 LumAware/Firefox. His entrepreneurial spirit had him leave his career at Eli Lilly and start his company from the trunk of his car which he later grew to over $30 million in sales. He credits military service for giving him the warrior spirit and writes about his experience and how veterans can pursue entrepreneurship after leaving the service in his book – Warrior Entrepreneur. The WarriorAcademe.com is another resource “where warriors regroup to learn the tactics of gaining superiority in both business and life.” Zachary is passionate about helping veterans pursue the American dream after military service and believes anyone with warrior traits should be given a chance to demonstrate that they have what it takes to succeed in the corporate space. He chooses not to slow down in life and business and gives back by lecturing graduating Marines about honor and commitment at Parris Island, SC. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS 01:06 – 04:50 Summary of Zachary's 7-year USMC career. 04:51 – 08:34 The decision to transition to civilian life. 08:35 – 13:00 A 10-year career at Eli Lilly and a volunteer firefighter position leads to the founding of Zachary's business. 13:01 – 17:24 Unexpected upsides and finding work/life balance – Warrior Entrepreneur.

This episode is all about the warriors journey. Zachary Green is a serial entrepreneur and the founder of two successful startups, including LumAware and Foxfire. His products are now used by over 80,000 firefighters, and are in three of the nation's largest retailers, in addition to being carried by the Home Depot. Zachary is a US Marine Corps's veteran, former Lieutenant with his local fire department and his book, Warrior Entrepreneur just came out late 2021 as an Amazon bestseller. What I loved about this story is he talked about just growing from the humble beginnings in Parris Island and through his Marine training to an amazing $30 million plus in revenue. He hit rock bottom in the middle there, and I want you to listen to hear that story about how he developed his unfair business advantage. And he used that to propel himself forward.

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge talks to Marine Corps veteran, founder of https://lumawaresafety.com/ (LumAware Safety), author of https://www.warriorentrepreneurbook.com/ (Warrior Entrepreneur), and host of the podcast, https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-warrior-s-voice/id1602134212 (The Warrior's Voice), Zachary Green. Zachary shares he experienced many challenges in his youth and he began his warrior's journey to prove those who doubted him wrong. The warrior's journey is all about grit and transformation and as soon as he turned 18, he joined the Marines and went through that experience. He shares that those who experienced hardship in their youth were better equipped for work in the military, and this was a new experience for him. Ultimately, he left the Marines after serving and became a firefighter to continue giving back to his community. What he shares about this experience is that he found himself becoming extremely disoriented while navigating dark buildings during rescues with the fire department. What he developed was a solution that utilized glowing crystals to help cast literal light in these exact life-or-death situations. His solution became so popular locally, he took it to a trade show to see how his product would fare. During that trade show alone, his company booked more than $100,000 worth of business. The problem? Zachary explains that they didn't have the production means or funding. His Marine mindset pushed him to take the risks to make it happen – this resulted in almost 30 million dollars worth of business to come. Not only did this experience save his life, but it also granted him immense success. It didn't come easily, though. Zachary shares he endured the most difficult challenges he's ever faced – and he was infantry in the Marine Corps and a dedicated first responder as a firefighter. He stresses that your love for your business creates even more strain and difficulty – he explains that the first mistake business owners make is not letting their businesses go so it can grow. Iron sharpens iron, Zachary says, and you need to always be sharpening your grit in preparation for the challenges you will inevitably face. He shares that his business had to fail first before it could succeed. Entrepreneurship is the highest of highs and lowest of lows, and when you go through the crucible your business will endure, you will see the darkness of the abyss. The depths of your journey must transform you – you have to conquer and destroy your old self. You must forge yourself into something greater, Zachary shares. The warrior's journey is transforming during your crucible. Want to learn more? Check out Zachary Green's website at https://lumawaresafety.com/ (https://lumawaresafety.com/).

Zachary Green is living the American dream. As a boy, he had three “sparks” as he calls them. First, to be a Marine. He had to wait until he was 18 to do that because his parents didn't want him to join. Second, he wanted to be a firefighter. He did that. Third, to be an entrepreneur. He has done that one to the max, building a company that saves firefighters' lives, and now inspiring others with speaking and his book. The military dream started early. Zachary was G.I. Joe every Halloween. While his friends were out riding their bikes, he was in the woods practicing his own maneuvers. When he was finally old enough to join, Zachary directed fire control first for artillery, then mortars in the European theatre. He then applied for Officer Candidate School but when it came time for graduation, he decided he did not want to serve any longer and resigned. It was the Clinton years, lots of attrition and no deployments, so he was frustrated his combat skills were unused. Two years after leaving, 911 happened and Zachary has regretted that his talents couldn't be used to help his brother and sister warriors. He felt he absolutely had to give back and around 2002 he joined a volunteer firefighting group while still in sales and marketing for Eli Lilly. So that covers spark numbers one and two, but how did he get that far? Zachary credits the Marine Corps. As he says, you don't join the Marines, you become a Marine. It's a brotherhood, a family that one is a member of forever and it happens because everyone has to go through the crucible. The crucible, as defined by Zachary, is where you have faced challenge after challenge but come to a challenge for which you are not prepared and you must fight your way through. That is what you must face and defeat, but after that you are undefeatable. This is the crux of his book, but we are skipping ahead. Spark number three: Zachary has become a firefighter and gets lost during a fire. He eventually found his group, but the experience made him determined to invent a material that would make firefighters visible to each other and help firefighters keep their orientation under the worst conditions. He invented it and started selling to the fighters in his station. The word got out and he began selling to other locations out the back of his car (Phil Knight of Nike fame did the same thing). The first six months, Zachary had $5,000 in sales, not enough to quit his day job. After time, his fire chief sat down with Zachary and told him he was sitting on a gold mine and should make his business full time. After a heart-to-heart with his wife, Zachary went to the biggest firefighting trade show of the year. In three days, he sold over $100,000 worth of product. But how do you fill the orders? That's where the can-do Marine came out; adapt, improvise. So the family mortgaged the house, maxed out the credit cards and began shipping. However, bravado doesn't guarantee success, and the company was three days from running out of money and closing the doors at one point. This was Zachary's crucible. And his transformation was to recognize he was a founder and an idea person, not the day-to-day operations person. They hired a CEO from the outside and sales last year were $30Million. And continuing with spark number three, Zachary has shared his experience and provided inspiration to many more with his speaking engagements and now his book, “Warrior Entrepreneur”.

Zachary Green's new book, Warrior Entrepreneur, is a book written for the times we live and work in due to the continued challenges and fallout from COVID-19. Every business is experiencing some kind of challenge due to the pandemic and the responses to it. Warrior Entrepreneur is a book that speaks to the entrepreneurs who are making their way through these challenging times and reminds them (us!) that they (we!) are not alone – that there are myriad lessons to be learned from fellow warriors. This was a conversation that wasted no time getting into some heavy topics like the seasons of trials - what the book calls Crucibles - entrepreneurs face, what it means to "never give up," and how to wield fear in the favor of the true Warrior Entrepreneur. Zachary is not an aloof author writing from the sidelines. He's a fellow entrepreneur in the trenches with us and offers us insights and hope from the perspective of the Warrior Entrepreneur.
