#39 – Jerry Barnes

Nov 2, 2020 | Something Significant Podcast | 0 comments

Mr. Happy Living here… 

I love entrepreneurs and authors and coaches and combat survivors and people from every walk of life that have discovered their reason for being on this planet… 

And that’s why I love Jerry Barnes… he’s a veteran, and an author, who’s labor of love is writing about combat survivor heroes of the United States military… Jerry is a former senior executive of the US Army Corps of Engineers who met a persuasive, 87 year old literary agent in 2018 that sparked a late-in-life, unexpected adventure which has, to date, led to 60 stories and two published books, with many more proposals/ideas arriving in Jerry’s inbox and his imagination literally every week.
