by Stephen Ryan Gonzalez

Overview

In The Hero Factory, creatively stitched together in the tapestry of personal memoir and stories of daring rescue, you will uncover patience, strength, courage, and confidence, the character traits of the individuals that risk it all to save a life. Drawing on my experience training over two thirds of the Coast Guard's elite rescue professionals, while sharing my own personal trials, the narrative provides gripping accounts of heroism at the same time bringing perspective to everyday-life adversity. Using unique features like challenge lessons centered on character development, self-awareness, physical preparedness, and relationship building, The Hero Factory offers leadership principles, wisdom, and purpose-driven focus, allowing individuals to recognize the internal courage to overcome personal challenge and hardship.
