Episode Details

Have you ever wondered what it takes to truly own the dash in your life?

Well, in this episode of the Happy Hustle podcast, we dive deep into this concept with Dakota Meyer, a true patriot and hero.

Dakota is a United States Marine sniper, a veteran of the war in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the recipient of the Medal of Honor for his extraordinary actions in combat, where he saved multiple lives. He's also a serial entrepreneur, a father, a helicopter pilot, a firefighter, and a New York Times bestselling author.

In our conversation, Dakota dives deep into his mantra, "Own the dash," that space between the day you were born and the day you die. He shares how you can become a better version of yourself by embracing structure, discipline, and choosing happiness.

We also get into some jaw-dropping stories, like the time he had a beer with President Obama, his entrepreneurial ventures, combat tours, and the day he earned the Medal of Honor.
