Courageous Crossroads
From Battlefield to Business: Dan Douglas on Courage, Faith, and Reinvention
Dan Douglas, a proud Iowan and former Green Beret, embodies resilience and adaptability in every facet of his life. Initially pursuing a career in architecture at Iowa State University, Dan soon realized that the structured world of design was not his calling. After leaving college, he transitioned into construction before ultimately finding his path in the U.S. Army, where he served for 20 years. His military career took him from combat engineering to the elite ranks of the Green Berets, where he specialized as a Special Forces Medical Sergeant. Throughout multiple deployments, including tours in Iraq, Dan developed a keen understanding of leadership, courage, and the importance of faith in navigating adversity. After retiring from the military, he pursued a new mission: helping others as a physician assistant and launching his own real estate business, Green Beret Realty.
In this compelling episode of Courageous Crossroads, host Jeff Johnson sits down with Dan to explore the winding path that led him from Iowa State to the battlefield, from skepticism to a deep-rooted Christian faith, and from military service to entrepreneurship. Dan shares candid reflections on the challenges of admitting personal struggles, the importance of vulnerability, and how true courage isn’t just about facing physical danger but embracing emotional and spiritual growth. With insights from his military experience, his faith journey, and his current work in real estate, Dan offers listeners a powerful perspective on stepping into the unknown with conviction and authenticity. Whether discussing the weight of leadership, the necessity of transparency, or the complexities of faith in the midst of conflict, this episode is a masterclass in what it means to live courageously.
