"Drownproof is a raw and honest look at the discipline and mindset required to overcome the challenges that confront us all. From the demanding world of special operations to high-stakes personal adventures to the world of business, this book shares hard-earned wisdom for navigating life’s toughest tests. With a focus on resilience, self-reliance, and leadership, Drownproof is an exploration of how to keep moving toward your goals, no matter the odds. " —Jack Carr, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Red Sky Mourning

"If the world went completely sideways from a zombie virus outbreak, and we had to put together a militia to save the human race, Andy Stumpf would be my top draft pick. Exceptional people that you can call friends are one of the most valuable resources in this life. They provide examples of how to conduct yourself in a way that you admire, and can aspire to. Their accomplishments fuel you with inspiration, and their thought process enhances your perspective. Andy is one of my favorite examples of this, and knowing him has made me a better man. I’m honored to be his friend." -Joe Rogan
