Rick Alexander

My name is Rick Alexander. I am an author, speaker, and the CGO (Chief Growth Operator) for The Special Forces Experience. I craft content and experiences to help lead people through adversity and into a life of meaning and fulfillment. 

In a previous life I spent 12 years working as a Special Operations Combat Medic in the military. I student of human potential and find an oddly hight amount of enjoyment from putting my back against the wall in ultra endurance events. In the last few years I’ve completed multi day bike rides as well as a 240 mile run which I did in body armor to raise money for the children of fallen warriors.

Recently, my formal education and work is focused on the intersection of spirituality and psychology. You can hear my ideas on my podcast, Morning Coffee with Rick Alexander, check out my new book, Ambitious Heroes and Heartache, or have me speak to your organization or club (done over ZOOM during this challenging pandemic season). My two current lectures are around Cultivating a Meaningful Life and Understanding One’s own Psychological Wellness and Mental Health during times of Adversity.
