Guest Introduction:From a high school student enlisting at 17 to serving over 20 years in Special Operations, Joshua Daniel’s journey is one of resilience, sacrifice, and conviction. By 18, he had made it into the Special Operations community, and at 19, he deployed to combat for the first time. His path wasn’t smooth setbacks, challenges, and moments that could have derailed him were real but quitting was never an option.Joshua retired as a Master Sergeant, not because he was the most gifted, but because he was relentlessly committed: to the mission, to the men beside him, and to the ideal embodied in the Green Beret motto: De Oppresso Liber  To free the oppressed.After his sixth deployment, Joshua founded Hero Games Charity, honoring fallen warriors and supporting their families through a grueling 6–8 hour crucible event built on sweat, grit, and legacy. Later, he launched Counter Culture Solutions, equipping people with mindset, resilience, and leadership skills forged in the Special Operations community. Today, Joshua’s call to serve looks different but the heart behind it remains the same.
