Built for Battle, Reborn to Create

There’s a moment in every man’s life when the ground gives way beneath him.

For Mike Lanouar, it came after years of high-stakes missions in the military and leading from the front as a SWAT officer. But it wasn’t the battlefield that tested him most — it was a costly mistake, and the fallout that followed.

Mike shares the hard truths of identity, ego, and what it really means to rebuild from the inside out. No sugarcoating, just the raw process of losing everything he thought defined him, and finding a deeper purpose beyond the badge and the battlefield.

If you’ve ever faced a moment that made you question who you are or where you’re going — this one’s for you.
