Ep:087 | Drago Dzieran | The Pledge to America
In this special Veteran's Day episode, I get to talk with Drago Dzieran. Drago immigrated to the United States in 1984 with ten cents in his pocket after being a political prisoner in Communist Poland. We cover Drago's story in his book, "The Pledge to America." My takeaway is that with hard work, determination, and a will to overcome, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to if you live in America. Drago came to America, not speaking English and started working to pay his rent as a janitor at a local church. Fast forward a few decades and Drago has retired after a career in the Navy Seals, he's married and has a family and works as a software engineer. As Drago says over and over, his story is only possible in America.
