Hey I'm Duncan...
I'm a speaker, a Veteran and a global resilience advocate. I have spent my professional life working to empower young people, parents, and communities.
My mission is to make sure that everyone I come across can become the best version of themselves and live a life with peace, love and joy.
I spent five years of my service in the Alabama Army National Guard as a Master Resilience Trainer tasked with training Soldiers to become more mentally tough. Using my resilience training and leadership experiences across the country, I identified important tools and tactics that college students can use to achieve their full potential.
