In this powerful episode of The Asset Mindset podcast, host Daniel Fielding sits down with retired Green Beret Ryan Hendrickson, a combat veteran turned global humanitarian. After surviving an IED blast in Afghanistan, Ryan chose to turn trauma into action—dedicating his life to removing landmines in post-conflict zones like Ukraine.

Ryan shares his compelling journey of recovery, purpose, and service, diving into the long-term impact of landmines on civilian populations and the emotional toll of war. He opens up about overcoming adversity, rejecting the victim mentality, and redefining what it means to live a life of service after the uniform comes off.

This conversation explores the mental resilience, leadership, and grit it takes to transform failure into fuel—and why veterans are uniquely positioned to lead in humanitarian crises. If you’re looking for inspiration, purpose-driven action, or a mindset shift—this is your episode.
