Earned Wisdom: Stories of Overcoming and Resilience
In Earned Stories of Overcoming and Resilience, President & CEO of ProTech Services Group, Inc., Dan Weddle, takes a candid look back on his personal and professional journey towards success. As he does, he shares the lessons he’s learned throughout a life of overcoming adversity and heartbreak.Coming from a broken family, a generational history of addiction and little financial success, the odds were stacked against Dan from the beginning. When he started his career as a nineteen-year-old beat cop specializing in narcotics, Dan never could have imagined he’d one day end up as the President and CEO of an innovative IT company. And yet, through years of hard work, learning on the job, and saying yes when opportunities were offered, that’s where he is now. Dan adopted the same work ethic and openness in his personal life. The situations he was handed demanded it.
As he recounts the many obstacles he’s had to overcome—from juggling three jobs to making a complete career shift and becoming an instant dad to dealing with the sudden loss of a child—Dan proves that with a solid support system of faith and family, a rugged determination and tenacity, and the courage and humility to ask for help when you need it, there truly is no limit to what you can overcome.
As Dan says, "There will almost always, at some point in life, be struggles and hardships. No one can avoid them. What’s important is how we deal with those hardships, and that we get back up every time we’re knocked down."
A self-proclaimed believer in silver linings, Dan shares through Earned Wisdom the importance of being intentional about the life and family you create for yourself, so that when the difficulties come, you have the love and support you need to come out the other side a better person.
