287: Be a Tactical Leader Part II with Zack A Knight
•
Today's guests: Zack A Knight
Zack’s focus in his life and his business has always been leadership and service. He began his career as a metro-Atlanta police officer then infantry leader in the Army. Since leaving active duty, he has carried those principles into his business life where he continues to help his clients to protect and grow their businesses. Zack began building his first business while in basic training, knowing he wanted
to give more. Over the last 6 years, Zack has used his expertise from his law enforcement and military experience to focus on helping entrepreneurs grow their own businesses through masterminds, coaching, consulting, and podcasting. In his book, The Legacy of Love, Zack tells his story that centers around trauma, healing, and learning. He uses this experience to help his readers know that they
aren't alone and can heal from their own traumas. Our traumas don’t define us, but they can hold us back. Join Zack in discovering how we can use those experiences to learn and grow and become a stronger person who can look in the mirror and confidently say “I LOVE YOU”.
