Dakota Meyer: What Is Your Purpose?

In this video, motivational speaker and Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer talks about the roles that purpose and accountability have played in his life.

Describing how defining “what’s your why” helps to create a purpose-driven life, Dakota shares how his daughter is his inspiration to help make the world around him a better place. He inspires audiences to stay focused on a purpose – looking at what’s ahead rather than into the past, in order to stay hungry and persevere.

Sergeant Dakota L. Meyer is a United States Marine Corps veteran and is the first living Marine since 1973 to receive the military’s highest honor, the Medal of Honor. He is the New York Times best-selling author of the book, Into the Fire: A Firsthand Account of the Most Extraordinary Battle in the Afghan War. Meyer earned his medal for his actions during the Battle of Ganjigal, which was part of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. Humble and propelled by a respect for his fallen comrades, Meyer insists that he is not a hero, and that any Marine would do the same thing.
